A member asked:
Can you die from laughter too long or too hard?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If U don't breathe,: If you also choke and inhale regurgitated stomach contents or if u rupture your diaphragm. But, essentially u can't die from laughter by itself in spite of the common expression "you, or i could have died laughing".
