Not sure working until 6am for 3 days in a row is enough to kill you TBH.

Yeh that's what I mean, I don't think the long hours alone is enough to do it.

"internet forum users said he may have been working ‘all-nighters’ during his stay with the company"
And we all know that these are the most trustworthy people...

Most people in his group would probably start around 9am.

Someone mentions 110 hours a week in that article, that include weekends or just Monday to Friday?

Including weekends. Physically impossible if you don't include weekends

Anyway, 110 hours in 7 days leaves 8 hours to get home, sleep, shower and get back to work... That's perfectly doable!

A friend's boyfriend just started a similar roll and says they're all on coke to keep them going... and alas he's started to join in as well. Probably spend half their bloody money on it anyway so what's the point?

..Yesterday it was claimed Mr Erhardt may have suffered a fit or seizure

It is, post-mortem says it was epilepsy. More than likely completely unrelated to the hours he worked.

Clearly don't know much about epilepsy then!
If he had been sleep deprived and stressed, suffering a tonic clonic is quite understandable.

What a fucking ludicrous and stupid work practice to become the norm. Humans can't function properly without sleep, so it's completely counter productive.
