This is complete BS.

There is no publication titled "Research on the Co-relationship between Vitamin C and Death Rate" or anything similarly name, much less anything published by UCLA in 2008. The only thing published by UCLA related to vitamin c in 2008 was "Dietary Carotenoids, Vitamins C and E, and Risk of Cataract in Women" which doesn't address anything related to this.

Furthermore, there is definitely no credible study showing "Vitamin C can reduce death rates by as much as 42 percent for men and 10 percent for women who have taken it in high doses" – to claim 42% of all male deaths could be avoided with vitamin c is beyond ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong; vitamin c is important for human health. But public beliefs about it greatly exaggerate it's benefits, with medical research having mixed results at best.
