Man dies of Vitamin D ‘overdose’
He was admitted to East Surrey Hospital last year in May and died ten days later
An 89-year-old retired businessman died from an “overdose” of Vitamin D supplements that did not warn about the risks of excessive intake.
David Mitchener from Oxted, Surrey, reportedly had fatally high levels of Vitamin D when he was brought to the East Surrey Hospital last year in May and was suffering from hypercalcaemia – a build-up of calcium in the body associated with taking too much vitamin D.
He died ten days later.

i am pretty sure hypercalcemia is from too much calcium and is probably from calcium in the vitamin D supplements, not vitamin D

where does the calcium come from
jk that's a stupid question when a lot of vitamin D supplements have, guess what, calcium
Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate, and for many other biological effects.
