Interesting. So the point is not that the fan can kill you, but that:
1. Being in a completely sealed room when it's very hot outside can kill you,
2. Even though it may make you feel cooler, a fan won't really help in that situation, and
3. It may actually make the problem worse by increasing convection of the air and making it hotter.
I'd argue that calling that "fan death" is misleading, as it's really the heat that's causing the health concerns, not the fan. But it's good to keep in mind these kinds of concerns.
