Answer 10

Yes.  Where I work, we store some of our files in the basement where it is dark and cold.  One day went down there before my co-worker got there and I hid in a storage tub.  When she turned the lights on, I jumped out of the tub and scared her so much that she fell backwards.  If she was older, she would have died.

Answer 11

I suppose in theory it might be possible to scare someone to death but since we don't have a load of people dieing every time there is a scary situation I would say that it is very uncommon.

Answer 12

yes, they become so scared they have a heart attack.

Answer 13

Probably if they have a bad heart condition or are elderly, there is a possibility of giving them a heart attack.  

Answer 14

Yes you can. Giving someone a nasty shock can cause the heart to stop. Also Voodoo is done by suggesting that the person will die, & their fear is such that they do (this one takes time & is done by Voodoo priests).  

Answer 15

Yes, because someone might have a heart attack. I saw on the news that this man scared someone and that person had a heart attack and died.
