Is It True A Woman Was Scared To Death By A Video

Question

You know those prank videos we get that look innocent, then has some scary image that screams and make you nearly pizz your pants.

I read a story about a woman who was at work and got one from a co-worker.

She opened it and ended up having a heart attack from the scare.

The family is looking into a lawsuit with the company since it happened at work even though it was sent on company email by a co-worker.

Is this an Urban Legend or did it really happen?

Answer 3

I don't doubt so for in my life I've seen about 15 of them and now i have heart problems, though its not bad doesn't effect me much

Answer 4

It's not entirely without precedent for someone to die as a result of what they've seen on TV.  

Some years ago, a man in England was watching an episode of 'The Goodies' which featured a sketch based on Ecky-Thump, a fictional northern English martial art which uses the black pudding as a deadly weapon.  He laughed so hard that he suffered a heart attack and died.

(For non-UK readers, The Goodies was a rather mad comedy series on British TV in the late 1970s/early 1980s)

Answer 5

i really wouldnt be surprised.
