Laughter doeth a heart good, like a medicine.

Proverbs 17:22

No. It could be possible to passout because you can not catch your breath. But as soon as you do, you would stop laughing and begin breathing. I don't think it's possible to literally die from it, but i think it can lead to death if you have asthma.

i dont think so

There have been people that laughed themselves to death. Check it out at the urban legend site, www.snopes.com.

No unless your very very old. yeah the story goes that great grandma Edith was laughing so hard at one of great granpa's jokes she inhaled a piece of chicken up her nose and it got caught in her air way and no one realized she was choking and she just keeled over and dropped dead - so the answer is yes

yes you can die from laughter, forgive the ignorant folk who don't think you can.

i suppose, if by flexing your abdominals too hard, you raise your blood pressure enough to rupture a weak blood vessel in your brain, you could do it, but it wouldn't be the worst way to go..

It's possible if you have some kind of medical condition like a brain aneurysm.

But can an ordinary person in good health die from laughter? No. I dont think so you could ,, but there is always some reasons for death ,,, could be possible
