This is the odd death to beat all:

Francis Bacon's death had a considerable element of irony. He had been inspired by the possibility of using snow to preserve meat. Bacon purchased a chicken to investigate this possibility, but, during the endeavour of stuffing it with snow, contracted a fatal case of pneumonia. He died at Highgate.

anybody think it's ironic that the people on the Titanic died on a ship that was supposedly unsinkable? Don't get mad, I'm just saying......

So at a school near mine in Missouri i heard about a girl named Grace Klinkhardt who was killed by a gymnasium light falling on her in P.E. class. She fell into a comma for 8 days only to then pass away in the hospital from major brain damamge. The gym was mostly underconstruction but some of it was still available to do work in, apparently the twist was her boyfriend (who was also in her PE class) Knocked the construction worker off his ladder by accident causing him to let loose the wiring and kill Grace.

To the person who indicated Elvis did not die on the toilet. Your only half right. Elvis was found lying on his face just in front of the toilet. It was apparent that he had mounted his throne to take in some heavy reading while doing his business. At some point he suffered a corinary event which caused him to fall off his appointment on to the floor only to be found with his PJ's (probably had little guitars on them) around his ankles. When he was discovered by his girlfriend and others were called to the scene efforts to revive him were futile as rigamortise had already set in.

A man who successfully pulled off a murder, by shooting a revolver at the victim, one bullet going into the tree behind the victim and the other bullet hitting the victim in the head and killing him... A few years later found out that the case was being re opened so he went to destroy the tree with the bullet lodged in it, he placed dinomite around the tree, ignited it, and by doing so, the bullet lodged in the tree blew out of the tree striking the killer in the head and killing him.

Yeap about the comment made about the girl drowning in Wii contest, it was in my city Sacramento, CA. Link :
http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/01/new_details_in_.html

On another note, my bro told me about a story he once heard on the news, when he was stationed in the Navy up in Norfolk, Virginia, about some suicidal teen had jumped off the second story of his bedroom because he couldn't deal with his parents on-going marriage problems. The weird part was that the teen's mom supposedly pulled a rifle on the father and fired a round that missed and flew out the window, striking the teen in head before he landed on the ground... WTF! I don't have any documented sources for this story... so I'm going on the integrity of my bro. But if it's true... shit that would've definitely make the Darwin list!

Steve Irwin was a great guy. He always said to his wife he had a feeling he was going to die young, and he died doing what he loved. We should remember his life, not death.

By the way, chek theese,
A guy commited suicide by tieing a rope round his neck and the oner end to a tree. He hopped into his car and drove off at 70 mph. Guess what happened.

A 5 year old died when she sat on a drain in a swimming pool- her insides were sucked out of her butt.

I know another very strange death.

Enrique Granados was a Spanish composer who lived from 1867 to 1916. It is said that in 1915 he wrote a beautiful piece of music that was based on the war going on around him. This piece became so popular universally that, in 1916, he was asked to attend a performance of it in New York city, which the President would be attending. Granados hated traveling overseas because he had a great fear of water and boats. However, in the end he decided he would go and bring his wife with him. The journey to New York was fine and so was the performance. He was paid in gold and boarded the boat with his wife to go back to Spain. On the return journey, the boat was sunk by German aircraft because they mistook it as an British naval ship. When the boat began to sink Granados was still on board but his wife was drowning in the water beneath him. He dived off to save her but drowned along with her because of the gold in his pockets.

[IMG]http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x157/insightoutside/anderson-2 .jpg[/IMG] American author Sherwood Anderson died in 1941 after accidentally swallowing a piece of a toothpick embedded in a martini olive at a party. Well, at least that beats death by bottle cap.

WEIRD, BIZARRE and UNUSUAL (#1339)

FROM THE "WHAT WAS SHE THINKING DEPARTMENT?"

On November 2, 2005, the Dallas Morning News reported 41-year-old Evangeline Gonzalez had failed 2,953 times to pay fees to enter or leave DFW toll roads over a 20-month period. Had she paid the 40-to-75-cents each time she entered or exited at a toll booth, it would have cost her less than $1,900. But, with added fees, she owed the North Texas Turnpike Authority a whopping $76,039.

SO, NOW YOU KNOW THE REAL STORY

Thanks to http://www.wowzone.com/gradesix.htm, Actual Answers to Sixth Grade History Tests: "Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this."

NOW, HERE'S SOMETHING THAT REALLY SUCKS

METRO.co.uk reported August 19, 2007, a performer at Circus of Horrors, Captain Dan The Devil Dwarf, was taken to hospital, after not following instructions on a super-glue container. That failure to read caused his penis to become glued firmly inside the suction nozzle of his Hoover vacuum cleaner.

The American 18th-C. Founding Father James Otis supposedly died from lightning striking a pillar he was leaning against. He'd told a relative before the incident that he wished he'd die "in a flash of lightning". There was a bad disaster in the Thames near London when a ship sank downriver from London, I think in the 1850s. Most of the passengers died, but not from drowning: the city's sewage system carried its effluvia to that area of the river, and the people asphyxiated in the water.

My cousin was helping someone move many years ago, was in the back of a pickup truck with a mattress. The wind caught the mattress, blew the mattress (and my cousin) out of the truck. He broke his neck and died.

The strangest deaths work best with time. Time is a healing factor, allows us to see things differently, and even laugh of them when they weren't funny then. As time passes facts also change they turn into great stories, I liked these the most when they remembered people we had no connection with, people from the past generation, most lickely, it also gives a better sense that life was as odd and interesting as they are today and to give that last casual tidbit of information of somebodies daily life in history that has no importance being on a history book... this is what i find amusing. Ready to hear more strange deaths about the past and people you've never met, who had no effect what so ever with your life. Life can throw some interesting curve balls and this site does a good job in capturing it...

Elvis didn't die on the toilet. He was kept awake by stimulants and went into the bathroom to read "The Search for Historical Jesus." The bathroom was bigger than most bedrooms and had seating besides just the toilet. He went in there to read so that he wouldn't disturb his girlfriend, who was asleep. That's when he died. Not on the toilet at all.

Rule 11 Of the internet - All your carefully picked arguments can be easily ignored.

Look i loved steve too. but do you know how pathetic you sound argueing over someones death? He was a human being and your belittleing his accomplishments by doing this. If its too soon Dont read it, if its not then read it its as simple as that. You can always hit the back button or scroll down and ignore it.
