A member asked:

Overdosing what vitamin pills can lead to death?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could happen?: Death by vitamin poisoning appears to be quite uncommon in the us, typically none in a given year. In 2008 there were no deaths reported from vitamin overdose, as has been the case for 17 of the last 25 reporting-years.
