Has anyone had a family member die from a heart attack during a dobutamine stress test?

My father died in 2005 during a doubutamine stress test. It's an non-invasive test used to eval CAD (coronary artery disease) for people who can't exercise on a treadmill. There is only a 1% chance of the test actually causing a heart attack that results in death. I just want to know if someone else has had this experience?
