Better hope not, or you'll be going away for a triple-murder... 😞

If the cause of the death is boredom, I don't know. However, if the person died while bored, then yes, I know some of those people.

You can't die from depression, though it can lead to suicide or decreased defensive instinct.

Not quite true. A catatonic depression leaves you in an immobile non-responsive state in which you're likely to get potentially
fatal bedsores, DVT/PE, malnutrition etc.
