23 Year Old Man Dies From Cardiac Arrest
The body of 23 year old Andrew Larsen was retrieved from his home in Brooklyn, New York after neighbours reported a disturbance. The victim was said to have died from cardiac arrest but medical background confirms that Mister Larsen was a relatively healthy young man.
Those at the scene were baffled by the case but claimed that it was not the first time they'd seen something like this. An autopsy confirmed that Mister Larsen had been scared to death. I didn't think it was possible to die from terror but I did a little research and it seems so.
Apparently the body has a natural protective mechanism called the fight-or-flight response (See link below article)
If Mister Larsen was indeed scared to death it leaves the question of 'Is this now a murder investigation?' wide open. It also makes me wonder if, this not being the first time, that there is someone out there with the capabilities to induce so much fear in another person that it leads them to death?
I don't know about you, but I don't think this will be the last time we here about a case like this.
