From Daily Mail:
A father died after suffering a brain haemorrhage and a heart attack caused by a heavy sneeze, an inquest heard.
Retired design engineer John Oram, 79, collapsed after he was seen sneezing 'violently' by care home staff.
The force of the sneeze caused brain and heart trauma and he died in hospital two days later on July 18, an inquest was told.
His son Mark, 50, said his father was 'sorely missed' and it was surprised something as 'innocuous' as a sneeze could have killed him.
He said: 'It does seem to be unusual demise from sneezing but his medical history of having heart condition 30 years necessitated him being on medication.
'I guess as you get everything gets weaker more susceptible to being damaged.'
