==Media attention== The French-German [[Television channel|TV channel]] [[Arte]] showed a documentary titled ''Alt in Japan'' (literal translation: "Old in Japan") on 6 November 2006 dealing with older workers in Japan. In 2008, karoshi again made headlines: a death back in 2006 of a key [[Toyota Motor Corporation|Toyota]] engineer who averaged over 80 hours overtime each month was ruled the result of overwork. His family was awarded benefits after his case was reviewed.<ref>{{cite news |date=10 July 2008 |title=Man, 45, died of overwork, Japanese labor bureau says |newspaper=Sfgate |url=https://www.sfgate.com/business/article/Man-45-died-of-overwork-Japanese-labor-bureau-3206060.php |access-date=6 September 2017}}</ref> [[Taiwan]]ese media have reported a case of karoshi.<ref>{{cite web |date=26 September 2010 |title=ζε η ηΎε°ζ 29ζ²ε·₯η¨εΈ«ιεζ» - θζζ₯ε ± |work=θζζ₯ε ± |url=http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/headline/20100927/32843024/ |access-date=6 September 2017}}</ref> An engineer had worked for Nanya Technology for 3 years from 2006 to 2009.
