Norman Lebrecht reported in his blog that a Bayreuth patron was found dead in his seat after Act II of Bayreuth’s final 2013 performance of Götterdämmerung. The already long interval was extended in order that the staff were able to remove the body. The deceased patron was a retired police officer.

Here is a link to Lebrecht’s column:
