To end the Stevie wonder argument: The man made his living interacting with dangerous animals. Though tragic, his death was, like everyone else's, inevitable; he simply chose a lifestyle that accelerated the process considerably. Summary: Yeah, it's sad; but yeah, he totally had that one coming.
Tycho wasn't a myth, #38. He was a noted astrologer, and his death is the stuff of laughed-at legend amongst astrologers and physicists. Incidentally, the reason he wouldn't relieve himself was because to rise from the meal before the king did was a serious faux pas, a disrespect to the crown. Ironically, punishments for this were sometimes as extreme as death.
