A woman in her 20s died after being overworked. According to the Asian publication Mumbrella, Mita Diran died due to heart failure and working long hours.
Diran worked as a copywriter for the advertising agency Y&R in Jakarta, Indonesia, for over one year. She would often tweet about working long hours and drinking energy drinks to stay awake. Her father said that she went into a coma after working three days straight.
Her last tweet before dying read: “30 hours of working and still going strong.”
Below are a few of her tweets that detailed her rigorous work schedule and eating junk food to stay awake.

So it’s 2AM, Friday night and I’m at the office, nibbling on junk food with 9 other creatives. I’m actually okay with this. #AgencyLife

Alright, one full week of going home past 2am from the office. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we just broke a record.
