It probably had an underlying cause which might ve been lethal...hiccups on its own its not usually a killer but what is causing it.
Eg, diabetes, kidney problem, drugs like steroid etc

I also thought of it when i watched the movie 'grey's anatomy'. The woman had hiccups but doctors thought she was faking it to get close to her step daughter nt until it led to heart attack n she died
