As a health professional, I can tell you that while it's a common expression to say someone is "dying of a broken heart," it's not literally possible to die from sadness alone. However, intense emotional stress can have serious impacts on physical health. The study you mentioned from St. George's University of London does suggest that bereavement can increase the risk of heart attack or stroke, which is why it's important to seek support and care for one's emotional and physical well-being during times of intense grief.
