Has anyone died of laughter in history?

Yes, but they usually die of heart disease and asthma caused by laughter.

1. Kalkas (Greek prophet, pre-12th century)

Kalkas was the most outstanding prophet in Greece during the Trojan War. The famous Trojan horse was built according to his proposal. One day, while he was planting vines, another prophet who was wandering happened to pass by. He predicted that Kalkas would never drink the wine made from his own grapes. Later, the grapes ripened and became wine. Carl Castel cordially invited the prophet to enjoy it with him. Just as Kalkas raised his glass to drink, the prophet repeated his prediction. This made Kalkas feel funny and burst out laughing. Maybe he laughed so hard that he suddenly felt suffocated and out of breath, and then he stopped breathing. He did not drink it.
