A 42-year-old man in Taiwan has died of a stroke likely caused by over-excitement from watching the 3-D blockbuster epic "Avatar," USA Today reports.

The man, identified only by his last name Kuo, is said to have had a history of high blood pressure. During the screening, in the Taiwanese city of Hsinch, Kuo reportedly began to feel unwell; by the time he reached the hospital he was unconscious. A scan showed that his brain was hemorrhaging. Kuo died 11 days later.

An emergency-room doctor told AFP: "It's likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms."

is there anything this film cant do?

Isn't a stroke caused by blood clotting in your brain? How does "over-excitement" cause that...?

Well it's not exaclty his fault is it? That's why saying "I hope all the car companies are proud of themselves" if someone dies in a crash.

Dying in 3D. That doesn't sound too bad. I'd like to die in 3D with surround sound if I had a choice.
