A 61-year-old man fell unconscious and died minutes later on Friday at a stock exchange in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, while watching his stocks slip.

He was taken to hospital by ambulance but was pronounced dead on arrival.

His son surnamed Su said his father had suffered from myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular disease for years.

A doctor surnamed Lai reminded people with heart or cerebral diseases to be extra careful when dabbling in stocks and shares.

The market can be very stressful.
