Baccarat player scoops $380K and dies on the spot

The shocking event took place on the casino floor at Marina Bay Sands Casino with a player recorded on camera and shared on social media network, X, playing baccarat, winning, and then collapsing on the ground in that order.

The player had no idea what was coming their way, as he was playing baccarat out of habit, it appeared, when fortune struck and the $380,000 payout was announced. Visibly agitated on the video, the man then collapsed to the ground and is said to have passed away on the spot.

Although the X video was called as bogus and the work of malicious generative AI, independent media outfits in Singapore have already corroborated the story, confirming that the video was indeed authentic. The cause of death has later been established to be a cardiac arrest which the man got because of being overstimulated by the win.

Security and medical officials responded almost immediately after the man collapsed. The experience marred the gaming at the floor that day. Big wins are often attributed to life-changing circumstances.

Some people win the lottery only to end up misers. Others fall out with family and are friendly, but seldom does someone die from overexcitement.
