回答
  • 1. He committed suicide due to overwork

  • 2. He killed himself due to pressure at work

  • 3. He took his own life because he was overworked

You could also say: "He topped himself." (Informal)
To commit suicide = to kill yourself
Due to pressure at work = stress at work. It could be too many hours; it could be another reason.
To take one's own life = to commit suicide.
"Where's Dave today?"
"He's in the crematorium. He topped himself due to pressure at work."

"He topped himself." (カジュアル)こういうこともできます。
To commit suicide = 自殺する
Due to pressure at work = 仕事でのストレス。長時間労働かもしれないし、そのほかの理由かもしれません。
To take one's own life = 自殺する。


"Where's Dave today?"
"He's in the crematorium. He topped himself due to pressure at work."

  • She committed suicide because she was overworked.

  • She committed suicide because her life consisted of all work and no play.

  • Unethical obligatory overtime work caused the women to take her own life.

To express that a woman committed suicide because she was overworked you may make use of any of the above examples.
keywords:
overworked-Saying that someone is overworked means that they are under a lot of stress, overburdened and worn out with too much work.
All work and no play-It means that without time off from work, a person becomes both bored and unhappy.

上記は、女性が過重労働で自殺したことを表す言い方です。

キーワード:
overworked-「誰々 is overworked」は、その人が、大きなストレスを抱え、仕事に追われ疲れ切っていることを表します。

All work and no play-仕事ばかりしていると退屈で不幸になる、という意味です。
