In this case, laughter wasn’t the best medicine

In 1975, Alex Mitchell, from King’s Lynn, England was watching a sketch comedy show called “The Goodies,” particularly an episode called “Kung Fu Kapers.” After laughing for a good 25 minutes or so, he fainted on the sofa and passed away due to heart failure. Somehow, he had laughed himself to death. Shortly after, his widow sent a letter to “The Goodies” show, thanking them for making Mitchell’s death so pleasant.
