A 42-year-old Taiwanese man died after suffering a severe stroke that he suffered during a screening of Avatar and a doctor thinks that it is not mere coincidence.
A doctor believes that “over-excitement” that he experienced while viewing Avatar was the trigger of the stroke that ultimately killed the man, who had a history of hypertension.
Kuo started to feel unwell while watching the movie and was taken to Nan Men General Hospital, where a scan revealed that his brain was hemorrhaging.
According to News.com emergency room doctor Peng Chin-chih explained:
It’s likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms.
Kuo died 11 days later as a result of the stroke and became the first person to have possibly been killed by watching James Cameron’s 3D science fiction epic.
