Has anyone ever heard or seen any news about anyone laughing to death, by tickling?

If anyone has seen any articles, can you post them? Or just discuss your thoughts on it.

Never seen any. I believe there has to some kind of pre-existing medical condition for that to be possible. Like a heartcondition. Laughing til you are completely breathless will "just" cause you to faint, and then your breathing will resume.

yeah, there was this girl that got a weird hair cut and her mom started laughing and just dead because she laughed too hard, but she was in her granny age, so... yeah

I seem to recall some story about a girl who died from asphyxia when her sister sat on her chest and tickled her. The sister's weight restricted the girl's breathing and she eventually succumbed to the lack of oxygen. I can't remember where I read this, so I can't substatiate this...sorry.

I also can't vouch for the validity of this story, it might even be just an urban legend. Wouldn't the girl start to turn cyanotic? How long did the sister sit on her after she stopped moving? Do I watch Wwwwwaaaaaayyyy too much CSI? It's hard to tell.

My goodness.....that is OUCH! What's up with SITTING on people's chest when you tickle them huh? Sorry I hate it when tickling becomes painful for someone.

It hurts... A LOT to not be able to laugh properly when you're trying to do it. My brother once teased me around when we were underwater in the swimming pool and the pain of not being able to laugh there was excruciating. I felt like what happened to Arnold in Total Recall when he was rolling down the hill in the Martian environment.

I once read (sorry, can't remember where) that in Old Germany, one form of execution was to take a condemned prisoner who had been discovered to be ticklish in the torture chamber and place him/her in a sort of shrinking straightjacket, then begin to seriously tickle the exposed body parts. As the prisoner cried out, the jacket would shrink during the exhales but not expand again as much for an inhale, so the prisoner was slowly suffocated to death. This is why I hate to see ticklees in doubled-over or other chest-constricted positions. Assuming the tickling is for real, this can cause painful discomfort or worse.

Well, aside from tickle torture used by royalty for pleasure (most notably by Catherine the Great [on female prisoners in the royal dungeons]), I've heard on one story where native american women would tie up captured english woman (wearing the typical english dresses) and tickle torture them until they couldn't breath anymore (due to the tightness of the dresses around their chest and waist). I don't know if this is true or not though.

I have to agree with jts963 though. Tickle torture to death isn't right. Yes I get off on tickle torture interrogations or women being led into dank dungeons by female royalty to be tickle tortured for days on end but I always want the tickle torture to end when the victim can barely take anymore. Tickle torture to death. Thats just wrong.

I DON'T THINK IT'S POSSIBLE TO TICKLE SOMEONE TO DEATH.As stated before the body shuts down when not enough oxtgen is taken in and the body simply readjusts breathing to allow more oxygen to be taken in while you're unconcious.Any deaths that occurred during tickling i believe was due to an extra factor..suffocation..etc

But i don't think anyone can actually gie from just being tickle tortured without adding another contricting factor


UNLESS YOU DIE FROM A TICKLE INDUCED HEART ATTACK OF COURSE

 

[gilmourwaters]

oxtgen??..lol..oh brother!

Well, there was that story several years ago of a guy who was being tickled as a punishment for "mashing" in Taiwan or thereabouts...and it turned out he had a heart condition and he died.

Tried to find the story through Google but no luck.

Amazing amount of news stories where someone says they're "tickled to death"...particularly sports stories.

Just what ARE those guys doing in the locker rooms? 😉

Its is possible.....I remember for a fact reading an article about a man who was released from prison after serving a sentence for tickling his wife to death. I forget the exact circumstances of the incident but its just something you don't forget, ya know? LOL

 

[crydun]

no, I haven't. But, what a way to go!!!

Not Tickled to Death, but maybe death would be better.

I remember reading that one of the slow tortures in the dark ages was to tie someone up while brine solution was applied to the soles of the feet. Then pigs or goats were allowed to lick the brine off the victim's soles. While this tickled at first, after several hours, or maybe even days, the rough tongues would begin to wear at the skin. If done long enough, consequences could be serious, including permanent scarring. And I'm certain the victim would have a hard time walking.

If this is any help I remember an article on tickling in the column of " Dear Abby. One girl wrote to her explaining that her grandmother told her when she lived in Ireland back in the 1940's a man had two wives die mysteriosly. One night people heard hysterical laughing coming from his home. It was later discovered that he was tying up his wives to the bed posts and tickling their bare feet with feathers. I don't know the authenticity of this story. It was something I read when feedback was given because a woman was very discusted with her boyfriend always pinning her down and tickling her. She had very ticklish feet, ribs, and stomach. And all her boyfriend wanted to do was tickle her and she too was afraid for her life. She signed her letter"tickled to death". This opened a door for alot of positive and negative feedback. Hope I was able to help out.

Well, I remember why she was digusted with her b/f...she mentioned that he tied her to a chair and tickled her feet till she was actually crying(not eyes just watering.). I can understand why she was digusted with that...not much fun being tickled till the point where you're not enjoying it.

Maybe we are talking about two different situatiuons. "Tickled to death" wrote. Dear abbey: at first it was a game between us but now it's gotten out of hand. Everttime we are together he pins me down and tickles me till I scream and my lungs ache. I am very ticklish on my ribs, stomach, and feet. And this is what he goes for! Abby he is driving me crazy. This was the article that I got from our paper. If there is a simular situation please respond. Thanx, osco89.

I read one article years ago that the female fiance loved her feet tickled and the boyfriend obliged and during one long session she had heart failure

 

[scorpionldr]
