10 Times People Died While Watching Movies

Indian mystery-thriller Rangitaranga was met with near-universal acclaim upon its 2015 release, with this sad incident being the only negative thing clouding its theatrical roll-out.

32-year-old IBM employee Sujith Hulimane took his wife to a Saturday evening screening of the film in Bengaluru, India. Midway through, she noticed that her husband was being unusually still in his seat: no fidgeting, no heavy breathing, no movement of any kind. She tried shaking him to get a response, but Sujith remained still, and was declared dead - due to cardiac arrest - shortly after.

He reportedly did not suffer from any notable medical problems, and the couple frequently watched scary movies and thriller movies together, so what exactly brought his death on is a mystery.
