Funny. In french, "ampersand" is called "esperluette", which comes from the same origin than the english word : it was the 27th letter of the alphabet, but instead of being pronounced "and, per se, and", it was "et, per se, et".
From the french Wikipedia (sorry for my poor translation !) : « The autopsy indicated that Reichelt died of a heart attack, before he touched the ground. »
And further :
« There was a total of 336 deads since the construction of the Eiffel tower : failed sport performances, accidents, suicides, etc. »
