Overdose doesn't always mean you die.
You can take too much of HGH, but the side effects will usually back off when the overdose hasn't been for a long period.

This comes from Humatrope's website:
Huamtrope overdose symptoms:
Overdose may cause hypoglycemia followed by hyperglycemia. Long term overdose may result in symptoms of acromegaly, similar to the effects of an excess of human somatotrophic hormone.
Humatrope HGH Side Effects:
In the course of clinical research studies on patients with growth hormone deficiency, which has never been treated on patients with Turner’s syndrome, a development of antibodies against the growth hormone, has been detected, but which has no effect on the rhythm of growth. Up to the present, long term effects caused by the presence of these antibodies have not been noted. Research into antibodies against the growth hormone should be carried out on all subjects who fail to respond to treatment. High doses of Humatrope deliberately given to healthy adults have on rare occasions produced the following effects- headache, local muscular pain, weakness, mild hypoglycemia and glycosuria. In studies on children with growth hormone deficiency, rare cases have been reported of pain in the area of the injection. 2.5% of those children treated has shown mild transitory oedema in the early stages of treatment. Should the patient notice any unpleasant side effect not described in this leaflet, he should consult his specialist or family doctor. Attention- Do not use this or any medicine once its expiry date has passed. More on Humatrope>>
