Karoshi or 過労死 can be translated literally from Japanese as "death from overwork" or occupational sudden death. Although this category has a significant count, Japan is one of the few countries that reports it in the statistics as a separate category. The major medical causes of karōshi deaths are heart attack and stroke due to stress.
