The riots in London moved into a third day as violence continue to escalate following the death of a 29-year-old in Tottenham last week. Authorities have said the Tottenham riot started at dusk on Saturday when approximately 120 people marched on the police station to express anger over the death of Mark Duggan, a father of four, on Thursday. Duggan was shot after police stopped the minicab he was driving in that day, according to media reports.

Work Stress: A Fatal Factor

In particular, the risk of death seemed to correlate with the perceived niceness of co-workers, as less friendly colleagues were associated with a higher risk of dying and friendly co-workers helped to alleviate the stress. In contrast, the niceness of the boss had little impact on mortality. The main feeling of office stress is linked to absence of control.
