I used to be a game developer at EA. In the middle of one particularly nightmarish 60-hour-weeks-for-months crunch, a twenty-something artist with no known pre-existing conditions spontaneously died in his sleep.

I went through a pretty intense crunch time at a fortune 10.

We had one person go to the hospital with tachycardia and 3 people who were vomiting. There were only 10 people on the team.
