I don't think it could happen. Unless the person has a fatal heart arrhythmia. Certain heart conditions cause them. I'm not a doctor though.

Panic attacks and anxiety do NOT cause sudden cardiac arrest.  There has to be an underlying heart condition for that to occur.  Despite what a lot of people believe...one cannot be "scared to death".  It may feel as though you're going to die, or that your heart is going to stop...but it won't.
