What is the OOC reason if a character dies from "heart attack or similar"?

Aha, or possibly the PD executing if the player violates and keeps violating the keep the characters apart rule?

Not exactly, both starvation and death from not logging in take twenty days. Since most people have still some food on their characters when they stop caring, they rather die of a heart attack than of starvation.

Simply put, it happens when the Cantr accoount is closed. It can be closed for many different reasons, but when a account gets closed all of the characters die of a heart-attack.
Every action has a consequence.

But PD has a tool for killing individual characters instead of whole accounts.

A heart attack can occur in three ways:

1) The player cancels their account
2) The PD kills a character
3) The account idles out

I have one char that starts to feel faint whenever doing heavier work. would it be possible to work him to death? I stopped doing hard work with him as I feared he might get an heart attack, but if the heart attack only happens through ooc causes...

I'll keep shying away from the hard work though, it's fun to play an apparently lazy guy.

The faint sickness does not cause heart attacks
