  Yup, happened to a family friend 2 years ago. He was only 50.
context: It's 17 now with many many more. Basically, people are calling 911 for dead bodies and they can't even get to them. That is what the local gov has said. >
  
  Some of my uncle's family lives up there, a family friend walked back into the house after shoveling their walk this morning, and just dropped dead. His family tried to resuscitate him for the couple of hours that first responders couldn't get to their house. >
  
  How did he just die ? >
  
  It's a common thing that can happen after snowfalls especially large ones. People don't warm up to shovel snow and it can be extremely physically demanding. Those who aren't in good health can suffer heart attacks
