It is said that ‘Laughter is the best medicine’, but when you come to know that laughing can cost you your life, how will you react? Actually, laughing is good for health but laughing excessively can have bad effects on your body. Many times people laugh so that they can relieve stress and relax. This strengthens their immunity, but laughing can also kill you. It is important for you to know how to laugh.
It is important to keep in mind that no one dies just because of laughing. The condition caused by excessive laughing can prove fatal. In 1975, a man named Alex Mitchell allegedly killed himself laughing while watching the 901 Kung Fu Capers episode of ‘The Goodies’. His granddaughter also suffered a heart attack due to a heart condition called Long QT Syndrome. It is believed that Michelle’s death also happened due to this reason. Another man, Damnoen Sen-um, died in his sleep after laughing continuously for about two minutes.
Reports suggest that it was either a case of suffocation or heart attack. Many such cases have come to light in the past. Which further increases the mystery behind deaths caused by laughter. This may be due to the physical effects of excessive laughing on the body. Which is also called hysterical laughter. Actually, laughing loudly puts a lot of stress on the lungs, heart and brain.
Why does laughing cause death?
Laughing is considered good for every person. According to the information, the body structure and condition of every human being is different. It is believed that sometimes due to continuous laughing for too long, breathing stops, due to which a person dies due to heart attack or respiratory arrest. However, the number of people dying from laughing across the world is less. But many times it has been seen that a person is laughing continuously for a long time while holding his stomach, while suddenly he dies due to respiratory arrest or heart attack.
Let us tell you that in Maharashtra in 2013, 22 year old Mangesh Bhogal had gone with his friend to watch a comedy film named Grand Masti. During the screening of the film, Bhogal started laughing so loudly that he had a heart attack. Apart from this, many such incidents have happened all over the world, when a person was laughing for a long time and suddenly dies.
