BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -- An ice-cream truck driver in Thailand died
while laughing in his sleep, a newspaper reported Thursday.

Damnoen Saen-um, 52, laughed for about two minutes on Wednesday and
then stopped breathing, The Nation said, quoting officials.

The newspaper said Damnoen's wife tried to wake him up but he kept
laughing. An autopsy suggested that he might have had a heart attack,
The Nation quoted a doctor as saying.

"I have never seen a case like this. But it is possible that a person
could have heart seizure while laughing or crying too hard in their
sleep,'' said Dr. Somchai Chakrabhand, deputy director-general of the
Mental Health Department, according to The Nation.

The incident occurred in Phrae province, 300 miles north of Bangkok.

He probably had a dream where God was telling him his time was due and he
just laughed at Him. . .

Sounds like this guy ran into Freddy Krueger in a dream, and didn't take him
seriously.
