  1. I fully agree a person can die from a broken heart its rare.in fact there is specific medical condition called "taktsubo cardiomyopathy" known as broken heart syndrome. it mimics a heart attack unlike the heart attack blocked arteries don't cause it. A lot of people who have lost a loved one experience this. 9 out of 10 cases extreme stress is to blame.
