Nonsense. If you do more work than you take in calories, you will eventually die of that work. If you work through injury, the injury will get worse and may well kill you.
Your body is doing work through basal metabolism even while sitting idle. Starving to death and being overworked to death are basically the same thing.

“Hard work never killed a man. Men die of boredom, psychological conflict, and disease. They do not die of hard work.”
-David Ogilvy (from Confessions of an Advertising Man, 1963)
There's a beauty to that, especially as Ogilvy used the quote often enough for it to be strongly associated with him.

No, you'll die of starvation. If you're not taking in sufficient nutrients, you'll die even if you do no work at all.
