Has a person ever been scared to death?

Answer 1

Yes. Notably (and unfortunately), this happened in 2008, when a fleeing bank robber broke into a 79-year-old woman’s house to hide from police. The woman died of a heart attack, and the robber was given a life sentence for causing her death.

While every cardiac event is different, here’s some information about what fear does to your heart: When you feel you’re in danger, your brain orders a surge of adrenaline to course through your body—this triggers your fight-or-flight response, which, among other things, raises your heart rate. The intent is to pump blood to your muscles and other vital organs, preparing you for battle or escape, but in extreme circumstances and risk-prone hearts, this can cause a heart attack.

That’s horrifying, but death by fear is rare. Here’s Vincent Bufalino, MD, in his interview with the American Heart Association:

“You can have a sudden cardiac-related event related to an adrenaline surge, but I think it would be a stretch to say you could get that from someone coming in a werewolf costume to your front door. [Something that will give you a heart attack] is the kind of thing that you can't prepare for. If it happens, it happens, and you hope your body doesn't overreact to that event.”

So, yes, someone has been scared to death, but this isn’t something you need to worry about.

Answer 2

One can assume or presume that a death was caused by fear, but this is unprovable. There's never any way of kowing for certain whether the death was induced by fear or whther it was just a coincidence. Somone mentioned in here that an elderly woman was scared to death by an intruder, and was conviceted of it in court. The fact that a court legally convicted the man for the womans murder, doesn't meant that the man medically, actually caused her death.

Answer 3

Fear can cause a classic heart attack in people who are already at risk. "A person who is walking around with a 50% narrowing of the arteries may never have symptoms, but if they're held up at gunpoint or narrowly miss an auto accident, their adrenaline levels can rise and destabilize that plaque," Adrenaline and dopamine speed up heart rate and blood pressure, flooding your muscles with oxygen to prepare you for fight or flight. But because we understand that these Halloween scares are safe, we get to enjoy that feeling of being pumped up rather than actually fighting or running away inplant training in chennai

According to an Islamic story from history (we believe this is real), there was a battle against the muslims in Arabia. Tha ngels descended to assist the Muslims, and many supernatural events occured. It was called the Battle of Badr, by the way. Anyway, two people were sitting (they were nonmuslim) and watching the battle. Suddenly, they saw and heard supernatural events. They heard a voice chanting, in arabic, what basically means Giddy up, Haizum. Haizum was the name of one of the angel's mounts, apparently. One of the two companions died, the other narrates he almost died, due to fear and surprise.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but Muslims do belive in this event as real- therefore I am adding it here.
