How do you diagnose this as death from overwork? This seems a convenient view of the incident for those who want to push particular narrative against a popular boogeyman.

Of course Amazon has a duty of care to those suffering medical problems at work, but how do you jump from that to "death of overworking"?

The boogeyman is real in Poland. We're some of the most overworked nations in the EU and have a culture of glorying this.
Aaah, very similar to Mexico I see. We are always up there in the lists of countries where the people work the most. 5till the QoL in the country is pretty low.
I imagine there are some physical markers. The stress hormone cortisol might be used to help diagnose it. Sleep problems aswell.
