I guess it depends on how bad the person has the hiccups and the age...
But still, can a person?

There are very rare reports of hiccups contributing to death. The most famous is that of Pope Pius XII in 1958 whose death was widely reported to be related to intractable hiccups.

Charles Osborne started hiccuping in 1922 after trying to lift a hog. He hiccuped for 68 years. He lived a normal life with 2 wives and eight children. the first decade he hiccuped 40 times a min later he slowed to 20 a min. He stopped in 1990 and one year later he died. It is estimated the he had 430 million hiccup spasms...so i guess u can live with them........but don't know if u can die from them

If your hiccup problem is chronic and left untreated it may spur on other problems. Also, people who suffer from chronic hiccup syndrome may be suffering from other ailments as well. See your doctor ASAP to prevent further injury to oneself. If there is the possibility of death it will usually stem from either a prior primary problem or a secondary one brought on by the chronic, untreated hiccups.

I thought I heard a long time ago of a person dying from hiccups but it was like he had them for years.

"A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thankyou' and walks out. Why?

He has the hiccups, get startled no more hiccups
