He passed out

Hi

Does it sound natural? I assume the grammar is okay?

He passed out out of fear.

Thanks,

Tom

Thanks, MM.

So does the sentence sound, as you say, infelicitous because of the two outs being juxtaposed? I mean, do these sound OK to you?

She screamed out of fear.
He ran away out of fear.
Alice fainted out of fear.

PS: Is my use of juxtaposed correct?
