This is possible, you can scare someone to death. I am narrating a real life story, my cousin’s Grand father was about 80s & used to ride a bike around. He was once scared by two goons on another bike who came close to him and screamed really hard. Grandpa had an immediate cardiac arrest due to shock and apparently lost his life.
Scaring is not the best way to entertain or make fun of others, please try something that is not harmful.
