stress is a powerful illness - yes its very possible depending how they deal with it - and indeed how their physical shape is- for example heart.

Possibly, but it isn't like you can charge someone for their death or anything. People die from heart attacks after good/bad news all the time. Stress and health problems have a long history. Proving exactly what was the cause will be very difficult though. The over 40 and few support systems doesn't really play into this.

At some point something will happen.
Their death from high blood pressure, suicidal depression etc is a distinct possibility.
However, I think history is showing us it is more likely to go the other way. The harassed party will absorb and absorb until there is no more capacity, the internal pressure will cause a blowup that will be directed toward the harassers as well as supervision and or management that the victim perceives as being complaisant with the harassers.
In other the words, the victim of the harassment is more likely to go Postal than suicidal. At least not suicidal until the Postal part is over.

It could.
It would also depend on the health of the individual. It can also cause or contribute to some health problems (high-blood pressure, heart problems).

Yes, stress is a proven killer. Being weak minded has nothing to do with it.

It could certainly aggravate existing undiagnosed conditions and possibly cause death.
