My uncle was a big parade goer. He went to the Year of the Rat parade and dropped dead on Market street.
I guess all of the fireworks going off were too much for him, I don't know. That said, he did have a pacemaker and I don't think he kept it "tuned up" so to speak. 
I always dread the Year of the Rat after that happened!
Thanks for the post.
