Many of us use a phrase "I about died laughing" . . One of my friend's uncle actually died from what seems to be a simple laughter of a joke or show. This is crazy idea when I just heard about it . . But it is true!!! . . He had a heart failure followed by a good laugh.

hi, That's a sad story but i have heard it before too. We say laughter is the best medicine but it seems the measurement need to be appropriate. But it is hard to believe as these days most of the comedy shows are becoming boring and one can not get a good laugh. Welcome to mylot and please familiarise yourself with the discussion guidelines and faq for enjoying and interacting more.

Oh, that's kind of ironic and sad. I can see it happening actually, as sudden things can result in shocks and heart attacks, or if is eating whilst someone makign them laugh they can choke on food. That's so sad actually...
