congrats man, 100% ragebait but I'll bite.

We don't know why he's working 16hours a day, but I can assure you working 16 hours daily even in an office job is hard even if you're in your 20s, let alone late 40s.

Also, there's a reason why there are recommendations for long distance drivers to have built in breaks between their drives, because driving for more than 2-3 hours at a time is f*cking tiring. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotten in a few RTAs because of fatigue.
I'm at my late forties and I have been working 12 to 16 hours for more than 25 years in office. I have some colleagues who are more hardworking

Likely is HBP from meeting all the Karen passengers ... Longer driving = higher chance to meet more karens

Driving 16h a day is not the cause of his death because driving is not strenuous. The underlying condition (HBP and HBC) could be the cause. Red Bull may be a contributing factor only as it is high in sugar and caffeine. He might not be doing regular exercise also
Work 16h a day - Who still the time to do regular exercise?

Without the need to work 16h a day…then he will not take 3 Red Bull (extra caffeine and sugar). Tio bo?

Then you are acknowledging working long hours is not the direct cause unless one does not do periodic medical, maintain healthy BMI, eat balanced diet, and exercise. There are people who squeeze exercise during office hours, in the morning or night. He can take a short nap in his car in between driving instead of drinking 3 RB

16hr a day is no joking matter… especially for someone who was not young like around mid 20…

Grab should let user know driver on the road for how long when doing booking. They want earn money like there's no tomorrow but don't drag user passenger along with them..
