Scientific evidence demonstrates that extreme fear and emotional stress can trigger fatal physiological responses, such as catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy and psychogenic psychosomatic death (voodoo death).
The claim that people can die of fear is supported by literature on psychosomatic death (voodoo death) and severe stress-induced cardiac conditions like Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy, where extreme fear or emotional stress causes fatal physiological failure.
