  The Straight Dope: Can someone be literally scared to death?
One British kid, in what is surely a mother's worst nightmare, was reportedly so freaked out by a visit to the dentist in 1970 that she died of a heart attack at age four.
Sudden cardiac death (fatal heart attack, essentially) is common--roughly 450,000 cases per year in the U.S. excluding deaths in hospitals.
The demise of the four-year-old dental patient is harder to explain, but she'd been sedated to calm her, and anesthesia in the young is inherently risky.

In Chinese culture, the number 7 can signify death, while white Americans generally consider 7 to be a lucky number; white Americans consider 13 to be unlucky; the luckiest Chinese number is 8.

I recalled that in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles,' Sir Charles Baskerville dies of a fatal heart attack, apparently because he is frightened to death by the hound.
In Mandarin, Cantonese, and Japanese, the words "death" and "four" are pronounced nearly identically, and consequently the number "four" evokes discomfort and apprehension in many Chinese and Japanese people.
The study by Phillips and his co-authors finds that cardiac deaths peak on the fourth of the month for Americans of Chinese and Japanese descent, and that this pattern is not seen among whites.

 Scared to Death - The Boston Globe
It's a question Samuels takes seriously; for the past 25 years, he has been telling people that if the fear factor is strong enough and there is no escape route, anyone can be scared to death.
