write atleast two incidents in which the canterville ghost was able to frighten victims to their death.

The Ghost had frightened to death one of the ancestors of the present Lord Canterville. The author does not mention this ancestor's name, but describes him as "the wicked Lord Canterville". This particular Lord Canterville was found choking on a card, the knave of diamonds to be exact, which the Ghost had forced him to swallow. The Ghost had thrust the card half-way down Lord Canterville's throat and made him confess that "he had cheated Charles James Fox out of £50,000 at Crockford's by means of that very card". After the confession, Lord Canterville died. Another such instance was, when a butler of Canterville Chase shot himself on seeing a green hand slowly tapping against the window pane, of the pantry. These are the two incidents of death were caused directly by the Ghost haunting the house.
