Unusual deaths

Interesting link OP. Thanks. There's a bit of a freaky Final Destination feel to some of the stories there and in this thread. Must be so tough for the families to accept the loss of a loved one through some of the freak accidents described.

2011: Jose Luis Ochoa, 35, died after being stabbed in the leg at an illegal cockfight in Tulare County, California, U.S., by one of the birds that had a knife attached to its limb.

Ha! I liked this one though.

What about yer wan in China sitting in her apartment when she hears the screech of tyres below. She looks out to see her husband lying on the road after getting a bang of a car. She runs down, and it turns out he's ok. But she gets killed by a bag of cement that workmen on the roof of the apartment building let drop.

Edward II of England, after being deposed and imprisoned by his wife Isabella and her lover Roger Mortimer, was rumoured to have been murdered by having a horn pushed into his anus through which a red-hot iron was inserted, burning out his internal organs without marking his body

went to school with one gang of geniuses that thought it would be fun to jump through a huge bonfire at halloween.....the afore mentioned brainiacs draped wet towels over themselves while they jumped through the fire but one stumbled, foot went through a pallet in the middle of the bonfire and couldnt get free.....by the time the bonfire could be quenched, they could barely separate ash from bone

I remember this being in the paper years ago....

"Polish farmer Krystof Azninski, who staked a strong claim to being
Europe's most macho man by cutting off his own head in 1995. Azninski,
30, had been drinking with friends when it was suggested they strip
naked and play some "men's games". Initially they hit each other over
the head with frozen turnips, but then one man upped the ante by seizing
a chainsaw and cutting off the end of his foot. Not to be outdone,
Azninski grabbed the saw and, shouting "Watch this then," he swung at
his own head and chopped it off. "It's funny," said one companion, "when
he was young he put on his sister's underwear. But he died like a man."

I'm doubting this but can't find much on snopes

Guy whose mates stuck an air compressor up his ass and turned it on and killed him. Or the rather large lady that was sitting on a toilet on a airplane, she flushed before standing up but due to her size a seal was created round the toilet bowl and the suction effect sucked some internal bits out and she died subsequently from infection.

Luck near misses like the chap that ran in front of a train on purpose only to trip and fall and the train passing over him and he was uninjured and lifted by police for his own safety. A chap who with a feed of drink set up a rope and noose and sat in a chair at the top of a stair ready to push himself off but with the drink fell asleep, noose 'round his neck and his head leaning against the wall. Woke up sober mighty relieved.

Which famous painter pondered over jumping off a bridge for a few hours but when he finally jumped the tide had gone out and he survived..

Darwin awards can be very funny but I do feel guilty by laughing at them!

The story last year where the guy in Florida died when he fell through a sinkhole that had developed in his house overnight. http://gawker.com/5987806/100-foot-sinkhole-opens-in-florida-bedroom-swallowing-and-killing-man

Horrible histories - stupid deaths

Very entertaining.

I once read of a woman who died unloading her dishwasher.

Apparently she stacked the knives pointy-end up. As she was unloading, she slipped on the Kitchen floor & was stabbed in the chest with her own knives!:eek:

That seems to happen surprisingly often. Most of the stories I've heard (although it mat be the same couple of stories a lot) seems to involve kids playing close by unfortunately. So..uh..always load the dishwasher with lives pointy side down, I guess!

There was a fella in our town who died after getting run over by his own car. No other person was involved.
I am still trying to work out how that could happen.

Last year there was a polish family on a trip to Portugal I think and the parents wanted to take a selfie on a cliff, climbed over the fence and fell to their deaths in front of their children. I hope the selfie was worth it.

Read about an Italian women who's husband was having an affair and announced he was leaving her.
She decided to end it all and threw herself out the window of their 6th floor apartment. He was just leaving the building and she landed on him. He died, she survived!

There's been a lot of people killed taking selfies. Must have read about half a dozen or more just this year alone.

Not a selfie, but how the chap in the following clip didn't smack his head off the ledge below is anyone's guess. His g/f, who foolishly tried to stop him mid run up, must thank fcuk she is not living with his death (or his paralyzation at the very least) on her conscience for the rest of her life.

He fell awkwardly but in the girls defense, when stands up in the water it's not even up to his balls, it was a pretty idiotic thing to do in the first place.

Heard of a woman who killed her husband with a single chop.
Apparently she held a black belt in cookery.

It happens. Happened to a lady I know with an automatic Mercedes. She pulled into her drive and accidentally tipped the thing into "R" instead of "D". As she got out it caught her with the door, knocked her down and gave her a bit of a chamozzle along the ground. She survived, with only cuts and scrapes, but she was bloody lucky.

Articulated trucks are good for a laugh as well. The trailers have automatic spring-loaded brakes that activate when the pneumatic pressure from the tractor unit drops or is disconnected. Some drivers have a habit of backing under the trailer bright-and-early in the morning, connecting up the hoses and so forth, then hopping out without activating the tractor's parking-brake and chatting away while leaning up against the front of the cab. Meanwhile, the pneumatic pressure builds away nicely until the spring-brakes unwind, the whole rig trundles forward, and well, you can guess the rest.

When I was in a school one of the blokes in my class was killed by a chicken , he had a part time job in a processing factory and a pallet of frozen chickens fell on him .
When all the investigations were completed it was found the pallet was overloaded by one chicken.

Therefore a chicken killed him.

Automatic? Automatic? There were no automatic cars in our town in the 70s/80s.
Plenty of stupid fckers though!

There was a very famous case of a guy in Washington state who enjoyed taking it in the rear end from Arabian stallions.

Given that Arabian stallions are particularly well known for their penile prowess, needless to say it didn't end for "mr hands" as he became known. He died from internal injuries.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumclaw_horse_sex_case

He is also the subject of a documentary. This is on youtube (Zoo I believe its called)

For all you sickos out there the act was taped and is available on the web

Didn't some sap in Limerick kill himself by pointing a gun at his head and pulling the trigger, thinking it was empty but forgetting the one in the barrel?

We have a few of those stories where I live too. Gun discharged when he was climbing a style. Gun unintentionally discharged whilst handling. I think at least some of them are probably suicides.

Years back, some guy killed himself on some land near my relative's house using a home-made gun he had fabricated out of some cylinders and rubber bands. There's a really interesting story behind it too, involving the death of a child, I remember overhearing my family talk about it, but cannot remember the details. Now that I'm an adult, everyone thinks I'm mad when I ask about it. But I'm sure it happened.

Rubberlegs · 11-08-2015 03:51PM

That 1000 Ways to Die makes for entertaining viewing. I always remember the one where a fella is out having dinner with his girlfriend, eats too much and feels really bloated. He can't belch so he asks her to punch him in the stomach to help release some gas. She does so, but it ruptured something and he collapsed and died!

Latest Darwin Award candidate: a 28-y-o. Swedish man has died in Sydney, Australia after the shopping trolley he and a mate were riding hit a car. They were going down a hill at up to 50mph, hit the car and were catapulted out.

New South Wales Police Force Superintendent, Gavin Dengate, said it was unclear why the men were riding in the trolley and called the whole thing ‘a very, very tragic accident’.

Adding: ‘Unfortunately we all know what shopping trolleys are like, they are very difficult to control.’

I won't even call these guys jackasses, since the Jackass crew did consider safety in their stunts ...
