This makes no sense.
過労死 is just a compound word basically consisting of "too much work death."
Using your "they have a word for it so it's common and blithely ignored" logic, you could say that "infanticide" happens all the time and is ignored in English-speaking countries simply because there's a word for it.

- ewoodrich 13y agoI'm seriously wondering, do you have a citation for that? I've never heard that mentioned before now.
- philwelch 13y agoYou don't find it a little suspicious that there's a widespread medical euphemism for "this baby suddenly asphyxiated and we don't know how?" OK, not all SIDS cases are infanticide, most probably aren't, but it's nearly impossible to tell for sure. http://www.nytimes.com/1997/10/19/nyregion/investigating-a-rash-of-sids-deaths-exposing-infanticide.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm http://www.nytimes.com/1997/10/19/nyregion/investigating-a-r... http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(04)17673-3/fulltext http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-67...
