Directly, no. Indirectly, yes. If you were so bored that you started cutting or jumped off of a building, that would be an example of dying (indirectly) from boredom.

Yes.
As a matter of fact, there are statistics that show that the number of people who die after retirement goes up dramatically from the number who die immediately before they retire.
Hospital visits and illness are reported at nearly 200% more by unemployed people.
Cancer and Aids patients who have a hobby or who volunteer are known to live much longer as well.

Actually you probably could, if you were so bored you didn't eat, or move around, take care of yourself, or run out of the house if it were to catch on fire. For a person to really pull off death by boredom, would be a slow, painful and lonely process. I am sure you have heard of people "grieving" their self's to death. It the same kind of process. They quit eating, taking care of their self's, never leave their bed, and eventually, like everything else that doesn't get proper care, they die.

No, boredom is a state of mind. It can't harm you physically, but it may cause your brain to turn into tapioca pudding and transform you into a liberal zombie. So beware, and consider reading a book.

Yes....I think you can. You would go crazy and kill yourself. So I guess you could call that dieing from boredom.
