The film was stopped and a nurse in attendance went to the woman's side, KAKE-TV in Wichita reported.

"It was the highest emotional part of the movie," a spokeswoman for the station said. A crew from the station was at the special showing, which was sponsored by the ClearChannel Radio chain.

The Wichita Eagle newspaper, on its Web site, identified the woman as Peggy Scott, 56, a sales manager for two local radio stations.


Employees at KAKE-TV said they knew the woman as Peggy Law, adding they did not think she had any pre-existing health problems.


The woman was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, where a spokesman would only say she had been attending a movie. The county coroner's office said an autopsy would be performed.


Mel Gibson's film, which opened on Wednesday, has been both criticized and praised for its violent, bloody portrayal of Christ's final hours.

What's anti-semitic about it? (And no, I haven't seen it yet)

Adisa said:

PS...i just dont like Mel Gibson in general, his acting seems a little too laboured, and so does his hair
