I read a bit about this in today's paper and I interpreted it to mean that the newspapers wanted to be able to say people die of a broken heart!
What I read was that extreme shock - pleasant or otherwise - can cause a heart attack and that the sudden death of a loved one is an extreme shock. Prolonged distraught grieving can also stress the heart and cause a heart attack.
(The article said you can also recover from a broken heart - as you can recover from a heart attack!)
