Death by (Gulp) Blogging?
The New York Times brings it on:
The NYT piece is kinda silly, but it’s here.
To be sure, there is no official diagnosis of death by blogging, and the premature demise of two people obviously does not qualify as an epidemic. There is also no certainty that the stress of the work contributed to their deaths. But friends and family of the deceased, and fellow information workers, say those deaths have them thinking about the dangers of their work style.The premise is that the “nonstop strain of producing for a news and information cycle that is as always-on as the Internet” is causing some bloggers to keel over unexpectedly.

pretty silly, as you say. anybody can work themselves to death in any profession. "death by blogging" is probably more appropriate to some poor sod who gets killed because of something he or she wrote.
