Man Dies of Stroke After Watching Avatar
TAIWAN -- A man with a history of high blood pressure died of a stroke after watching the 3D blockbuster Avatar.

The 42-year-old man, who suffered from hypertension, was rushed to the hospital after he began feeling ill during the screening of the movie.

The man identified only as Kuo was unconscious when he got to Nan Men General Hospital where a scan showed that his brain was hemorrhaging, Dr. Peng Chin-Chih, an emergency room doctor, told AFP.

An emergency room doctor says the stroke was likely triggered from over-excitement while watching the 3D blockbuster Avatar, AFP reports.

"It's likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms," the doctor told AFP.

Kuo died 11 days later from the brain hemorrhage.

As fucked up as this is it's just what Cameron needs to push him to no.1 .. free buzz:2 cents:

well its a good thing I did'nt see it in 3D in Vegas, hate to die from over excitement:helpme

It wasn't that exciting of a movie...

Maybe the actual ending of that whole crap got him excited to death...

Watched it in 3D twice, still breathing

i heard one died on his way to see Avatar in 3D, he was so excited he drove too fast and crashed....ahahahah... come on....

I farted while reading this thread.

I'm contacting my lawyer now. This has to be worth something.

How many millions of people have seen the movie, hasn't it made like 500 million or something? What is that 50 million people? Could it just be possible it was the guys time to die and wouldn't have matter if he was home sleeping or out dancing?

No, the people on this forum aren't familiar with Occam's Razor.

I just came back from the theater. I didn't die. It was a good movie though.

at least he didn't die while taking a shit

Word! :pimp

This movie should be seen with a doctor prescription, like Viagra ... I'm afraid to go and watch it, since I may commit suicide afterwards or have a heart attack :)

I think its over $1.3 billion and still going strong :thumbsup

Fake story, regardless of source.

No ER doc would ever make a ridiculous claim like that :2 cents:

what the fuck is Avatar?

That pretty much sums it up.

Makes sense.

Why people die? The movie has a happy end after all...

it's not surprising when you take into count the amount of people that went to see the movie.

Slow news day? Really? BECAUSE he was watching Avatar or that he would of had a stroke watching ANY MOVIE because he probably was consuming a large butter soaked popcorn and it was his body's way of saying... "that's the last fucking popcorn your eating on this planet!"

Sometimes I hate the media.

he must have had the pleasure of some sort of 3D interactive screening of the film because i was more excited by my GF rubbing my cock during the movie then the movie itself!

'It's likely...' like everything else in life.

news is retarded.

the story is really just: "man with hypertension and high blood pressure has stroke" and a bunch of fucking idiots want to sell ads/page views and subscriptions so they attach "avatar" to the headline

People get that excited over a movie ??

I wouldn't think so...

Yeah right, I have hypertension and as you can see I'm still alive.
He was probably bleeding long before the movie.

Saw on the news the other day "Teenager commits suicide after watching Avatar" and it turns out she got dumped by her bf, humiliated in school and kicked outta her home by her parents for being pregnant with his kid. So yeah, it really was Avatar that drove her....

Damn, that sucks..
