I'd rather be a writer or an artist working on one's creation and dropping dead than die for someone's marginal materialistic desires. It doesn't seem to me like he died "for" work. People die, often randomly, and sometimes at surprisingly young ages. It's a Gompertz curve. With the Internet, we hear about it a lot more than we would have, 25 or 50 years ago (even though early death was more common in the past). I agree with the spirit of what you're saying, but I don't think we have any good reason to assume his death was work-related.
