Elderly Man Dies While Watching 'Annabelle Comes Home' In The Cinema

An elderly British man was reportedly found dead inside a movie theatre that was playing the movie.

The incident happened at a shopping mall in Thailand last Wednesday (3 July).

According to a report by entertainment website Popculture.com, the 77-year-old tourist was holidaying in Pattaya and had reportedly purchased a single ticket to the movie.

Once the movie was over and the lights came on, a cinema goer who was seated beside the elderly man realised that he had ‘fainted’ and called emergency services. Others in the theatre began panicking at the situation.

The police later confirmed that the man died at around 9pm.

The man's body was reportedly sent to the Bang Lamung Hospital nearby for an autopsy and the Thai British Embassy has been notified.

However, no details were provided about the man’s health record, but Thai police has reportedly ruled out foul play.

This isn't the first time that a moviegoer had died while watching a horror movie.

Back in 2016, a 65-year-old Indian man had a heart attack while watching 'The Conjuring 2' in the cinema. The man was also pronounced dead at the scene.
