Yes folks, you CAN die laughing.
Alex Mitchell, a of 50-year-old builder of King's Lynn, England, literally died laughing while he was watching an episode of The Goodies. After twenty minutes of continuous laughter Mitchell finally collapsed on the sofa and died.
So what was he watching that was so funny it killed him? "The skit that precipitated Mitchell's fatal fit of glee involved a kilted Scotsman's flailing away with his bagpipe at a vicious black pudding intent on attacking him." I guess you had to have been there...
