    They've done a lot of studies on this and not just in America. It seems to be hold true. I wouldn't say it's an "early death" as much as it points to a shorter lifespan.

    I think there's even more to this. If you look at people who are in the media and led super fast lives, a noticeable number of them also passed away kind of early. Maybe it's better to be a tortoise than a hare when it comes to charting your life course.
