There is a Japanese term that roughly means "death from overwork" that is on the tip of my tongue but I just can't remember it. Can someone help out?

Thanks.

The word you`re looking for is `karoushi`.

Have you guys seen the Dilbert where the boss introduces this word to Dilbert and the others? He says something to the effect "We don't want to go that far here, so when you see a light and hear dead relatives beckoning, take a break."

Apparently, the creator of the strip's wife is Japanese...
