It feels like I’m missing a reference.

The tale of Chrysippus, and the oldest recorded account of an (alleged) death from laughter.

Here's the relevant part:

He died during the 143rd Olympiad (208–204 BC) at the age of 73. Diogenes Laërtius gives two different accounts of his death. [...] In the second account, he was watching a donkey eat some figs and cried out: "Now give the donkey a drink of pure wine to wash down the figs", whereupon he died in a fit of laughter.
