Seems pretty obvious that an elderly person with likely health issues and at risk of further ones would experience a fatal issue due to stress. People really underestimate how bad being stressed is for your entire physiology, suppressed immune system, hormonal imbalance, poor eating habits, blood pressure and heart rate fluctuations and many more things happen that can trigger serious issues in a short period of time.
