Hi,

Is "Loneliness kills man" correct?
 
If you're asking if it's grammatical, yes. However, some would object to that for other reasons.
 
You could say:

Loneliness kills.

OR

Loneliness can be fatal.
 
However, some would object to that for other reasons.

The term man is seen by many as not a neutral term nowadays, so they would avoid it.

That's the "other reasons".
;-)
 
When "man" is used without an article it should appear to be more neutral.
