Did you know that people can actually die from laughter? It is a rare instance of death, usually caused by cardiac arrest or asphyxiation, caused by a fit of laughter.
There have been recorded several instances of death by laughter from Ancient Greece to the modern day.
According to Diogenes Laertius, Chrysippus, an ancient Greek Stoic philosopher, died of laughter, after having seen a donkey eating his figs; he told a slave to give the donkey neat wine to drink to wash them down with, and then, ‘…having laughed too much, he died’ .
Got anything to add?
