It is often said that laughter is the best medicine, but just like everything, too much laughing can be a bad thing. Per an article from Healthline, it's possible for a person to end up dead by laughing too hard. One of the ways it can happen is when the person being tickled suffers a brain aneurysm, wherein the brain's artery fills up with blood and bursts. In some cases, extreme emotions can result in an asthma attack, which prevents a person from breathing properly.

In regard to torture tickling, there are no records available to point that it led to death. Most probably, people who were tortured by tickling would have fainted before they could have died. However, there are definitely recorded instances of people who have died due to laughter, such as a man from Thailand who succumbed to death after laughing for two minutes straight, and a British man who laughed himself to death while watching "Kung Fu Kapers" back in 1975 (via Thought Catalog).
