[Yes](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=10211360), in women who had recently been pregnant. And, [in a pregnant woman](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=6631360).

In this one, [the title says it all](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=1931743)!

> I once read a chapter, in a forensic science textbook, on the subject of “Sex-Related Deaths” by a guy named Joseph C. Rupp, who was the coroner in Corpus Christi, TX and who apparently was considered an expert in the field by _someone._…He says that most of the women report an intense tickling sensation right before they drop dead.

One wonders just how Dr. Rupp managed to collect these reports. Did he follow established and respected seance protocols? :dubious:

“911 emergency.”  
“Yes, help me, I am feeling an intense tickling sensation- {THUD}”  
“where are you feeling this sensation, ma’am? Ma’am? Hello? Are you there?”
