Do you know of anyone who has actually died of heartbreak because the stress was so great that in an otherwise healthy individual or compromised (non-heart related but maybe let's say with breathing problems) person that the heart could not handle it?

What do you think of this article and its accuracy on varying reasons for these phenomena, and are there anymore like this?

Can this also occur in an uncompromised healthy young person's sleep?
Please give examples or data.

My mother and grandmother believe that my great grand father died from heartbreak (I wasn't born yet).
But they have told me that my great grand mother died and the very next day he died! They believe he was so broken hearted that he couldn't stand to live without her. They were married for over 50 years and from what I was told, were never apart.

Should be very possible, since people can die of grief.
