I heard that folks work in the extreme heat outside and then come back and sleep in a small room occupied by up to 20 other workers. May be the heat exhaustion during the day and lack of oxygen is the reason for so many deaths.

Most Nepalese are not accustomed to live in those extreme environmental conditions. I heard the death tolls are higher for folks from the hills than ones from Terai. I wish fellow Nepalese brothers didn't have to put their lives at stake to make mere Rs 15,000 per month.
