Overtime of 80 hours a month is just 20 hours a week. A 60 hour work week killed him? I know many people holding 2 full time jobs to make ends meet and they've done it for many years.
Seems like something is missing from the story. Maybe an environmental issue, airborne chemicals in the workplace?

i was thinking the same thing. 80 hours overtime/month is not that much. There are plenty of people who would love to have that kind of overtime and get paid for it right now. Too many companies have cut out overtime.
