Is it possible to overdose on caffeine? I assume so since it's a type of stimulant. And if so, is it possible without taking some sort of concentrated "supplement"?

How much caffeine would be an overdose, and what would happen? Would there be a heart attack, or would the body go into shock and shut down until everything gets cleared out?

I don't drink coffee, but my parents (at least my mom) go through ~4-6 cups in the morning. Is this enough to cause any severe health problems in the long term?
