There's probably an obscure medical condition like that that got featured in a House episode at some point, but generally, no.

However, I've heard that holding in a fart will cause it to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream and move to the lungs and get exhaled, which might make you figuratively drop dead of embarrassment.

Pick your poison.

I already did it a couple of times. (real)

It also doesn´t has much to do with farting "hard". It´s more about the environment. Like in elevators, which got stuck. Then Your fellow travelers start vomiting, and You technically drown. It´s the same in public transport, or small offices. This is how it works in reality.

Much praise to Electric Cupcake for the time and effort to give the OP a serious answer. 😆
I haven't yet. I thought I might a couple of times with food poisoning, but it hasn't killed me yet.

The real question is whether you can achieve at least low Earth orbit. :lunar2020hearteyesrabbit:

Yeah but usually you have to drink Hemlock first, or some other issue that dissolves the tissues holding your spchinter into the rest of your body.

only the most critical of deep thoughts here on OT.
Elvis died that way.

Evidence suggest Elvis was a chronic drug user, diabetes, an enlarged heart, glaucoma (meaning he would have been blind before too long anyway) and constipation. with the latter he used drugs to help move his bowels along.

it's possible he strained too hard on the toilet and had a heart attack. However farting wouldn't have caused it, especially if he was all blocked up on one end and the gasses got trapped on the other end.

Yeah. It's the cause of 95% of avalanches.

There is no suggest, he was a drug addict, and it killed him.
