8. A Young Man Laughed Himself To Death While Watching Grand Masti

Bollywood adult comedy Grand Masti was ravaged by critics upon its release, but if this strange story is any indication, general audiences had an absolute blast while watching it.

In September 2013, Mangesh Bhogal and his girlfriend paid a visit to their local multiplex, to catch the movie on the big-screen. During the screening, Bhogal began to laugh so hard that he suffered a heart attack, which led to his death shortly after. He was rushed to the hospital, but was declared dead on arrival.

Those who witnessed the incident stated that Bhogal was "laughing his heart out", and even though he was only 22 years of age, this clearly proved too much for his body to handle. Heart attacks can happen at any age; it's just sad that one of his triggers was excessive laughter, which seems like the most random and unfair inciting incident.
