Many people are under the impression that vitamins are safe – no matter how much is consumed. Unfortunately, this is a myth. Vitamins, if taken at high doses, can be just as harmful as standard over the counter and prescription medications if taken at high doses.

# Excessive use of Vitamin B6 can lead to Depression, general fatigue, headaches, loss of sensation in the hands and feet.

# If you take too much of a Vitamin B product, it is possible to experience complications in walking, and even numbness in various areas of the body such as the hands and the mouth.

# Allergic reactions to B vitamins are rare and are generally confined to vitamins B3 and B6.These include skin eruptions, hypersensitivity, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, Flushing, joint pains, skin rash, muscle cramps and fever.

# Sudden cardiac death during any form of allergic reaction is well known. It is not the source of allergy(in this case Vit. B) but allergic reaction itself that cause of sudden cardiac death.

Therefore, what happened to your friend is rare but perfectly plausible.
