Is it normal to laugh when someone dies?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes. Laughing when someone dies can be an involuntary reaction to shock, stress, or grief—it doesn’t mean you’re happy they died or didn’t care about them.

People don’t always react to death in the way they expect. Sometimes laughter is a nervous release when you’re overwhelmed; sometimes the situation feels unreal or awkward and your brain reaches for an odd response. It can happen even when you’re deeply sad.
