I thought it interesting in an article by the Washington Post
(Philip P. Pan) that appeared in the Seattle Times today, the word
guolaosi was used. It's translated there as "overwork death." I
think it's been about 10 years since I first saw karoshi, the
Japanese term, in Time magazine.

Google gives 6 hits for "guolaosi death," all of which are from
2002.
