Copywriter Mita Diran, 24, died on Saturday after suffering heart failure from allegedly working 30 hours without a break.
Diran worked for Y&R Group Indonesia and was spending more time in the office than she was at home, according to her Twitter posts. The last tweet she posted:
"30 hours of working and still going strooong."
The 24-year-old suffered heart failure before she slipped into a coma and died, according to Gawker. The cause of her death has not been confirmed, but multiple reports linked her heart failure to possibly consuming an excess of energy drinks.
The company released the following statement about the Diran's death on their official Facebook on Dec. 15:
It is with a heavy heart and deep sadness that we have to inform you we have lost our friend, sister, and work colleague, Mita Diran, earlier this evening. Mita was a talented copywriter with a gentle smile who will always live on in our hearts.
We have been to Mita's family residence tonight and expressed our sincere condolences on behalf of Y&R Group Indonesia. It is a great loss and we wish Mita's family the faith and strength in each other in going through this extremely difficult time.
Tomorrow, December 16, we will close the office for the day to pay our last respects to Mita at her funeral at Jeruk Purut cemetery at 10 AM. Let us all take a day of silence tomorrow and give Mita's family the support and prayers that they need, from the bottom of our hearts.
However, Diran isn't the only person who has reportedly worked herself to an early grave. On Aug. 15, Bank of America Corp. intern Moritz Erhardt, 21, worked for 72 hours without sleep before he died.
An autopsy showed Erhardt "died of an epileptic seizure while taking a shower," according to Bloomberg News. It is unclear if he seizure was triggered by exhaustion.
