How it's used
Refers specifically to sudden death occurring during sexual intercourse, often carrying a slightly sensational or gossipy tone. It originates from historical descriptions of men dying while riding horses, which serves as a euphemism for the physical exertion involved. Use this term with caution as it is blunt and can be perceived as disrespectful or crude when discussing a recent death.
Examples
I heard he died of a heart attack during sex.
