A person may stop breathing due to various reasons, including respiratory failure from conditions like Asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), obstruction of the airway (such as choking), severe trauma, or overdose on drugs that depress the respiratory system. Additionally, neurological issues, such as a stroke or brain injury, can impair the brain's ability to regulate breathing. In some cases, cardiac arrest can lead to cessation of breathing. Immediate medical attention is crucial in such situations.

Fear can do a lot of things to a person. Fear can stop people from moving, cause people to lose control of their bowel, cause people to shake, panic, scream, breathe heavily, breathe uncontrolably, cry, and yes even stop breathing. In some cases, it can cause a person to lose pigment in their skin, make their hair stand, or send eerie chills up one's spine. In the worst cases, it can go as far as causing someone's death.
