Subject: Woman dies from over-working herself.
A young woman, aged 24, who was working for an advertising agency has died after working constantly for 30 hours.
The young female would go to the social network ‘Twitter’ and express of how she was doing “30 hours and still going strong”. Her other posts would show warnings that the woman was pushing herself as she says “It’s 4.45AM and I am just getting home” along with several warning signs of over working.
After several weeks of little sleep and surviving on energy drinks, the woman collapsed to the floor and slipped in to a coma, later dieing.
