Back when I was a junior developer, I spent months working literally 16-18 hours a day for weeks. There were also my fair share of 26 hour days. I burned out eventually which lead to depression, and lack of motivation, and all kinds of bad things personally and professionally. But I didn't die. I'd be willing to bet there were more relevant health related issues with this young man. Edit: I also developed an unhealthy addiction to energy drinks and caffeine. I gave up the energy drinks because my chest started to hurt, but the caffeine is still required to fend off head aches.
