Fright Kills Grandpa During Hide-And-Seek Game
Bernard Chambers of Blenheim, Hanover, reportedly died in hospital recently, after he was rushed there when he had a heart attack. The cause of the heart attack? It has been reportedly that the elderly man suffered the heart attack when a nine-year-old boy, who was part of a group of children playing hide-and-seek in an unfinished structure in the yard, jumped out at him and literally frightened him to death.
Doctors reportedly said that the elderly man going into shock/fright could have triggered the heart attack, and that it is in fact possible to be “frightened to death”. The official postmortem results showed that he died of a myocardial infarction (heart attack).
