• Who was killed in his sleep by a farm animal crashing through his roof?
Who managed to die at their OWN funeral?
From freak accidents to nightmare scenarios, here are 15 of the freakiest ways people have
died.
15 – Parisian Parachute Accident • In 1912, Franz Reichelt made a statement.
He was going to jump from the Eiffel Tower, and live to tell about it because of his new
design – a wearable parachute.
• The claim garnered so much attention, that the event was filmed.
• And that's why we have film over a century old of a man jumping from the Eiffel Tower
to his death.
14 – Soup IV • Generally speaking, having soup injected
into your veins would be a bad thing for pretty much anybody.
• But it's especially bad for an 88-year-old Brazilian woman trying to recover from a stroke.
• The hospital that accidentally hooked up the woman's feeding tube to her IV admits
that they made the mistake… but they insist that her ensuing death had nothing to do with
it.
13 – Conductor stabs own foot on stage • Opera conducting was very different in
1687 than it is today.
• Instead of waving a baton in the air, conductors would hold a big staff on stage,
and bang it on the stage in time with the music.
• But one day, conductor Jean-Baptiste de Lully got a bit too excited, and stabbed his
own toe with his staff.
• The wound became infected and he came down with gangrene.
But he refused to have the toe amputates, so two months later he died of blood poisoning.
12 – Airborne black bear • Imagine driving down a highway and suddenly
seeing a black bear flying towards your windshield.
• That was the last thing two people in Quebec, Canada saw in 2011.
The bear was hit by a car on the highway, and was launched into oncoming traffic on
the other side of the road.
• The bear hit an SUV's front windshield, and flew all the way out the back window,
killing both people inside.
11 – Falling cow • When you go to sleep at night, you probably
feel totally safe and secure, right?
• That's what one 45-year-old Brazilian man thought when he went to bed one night…
until he woke up crushed by a cow.
• The cow had apparently walked onto the roof of the man's home – which was built
into a hillside – and fell through his roof, directly onto the man as he slept.
• The cow and the man's wife were completely uninjured.
But the man himself died of internal bleeding.
10 – "Long Scarf Syndrome" • "Long scarf syndrome" is the name
for when a scarf or other piece of clothing gets stuck in a moving object, and the person
wearing it gets hurt.
• One of the earliest recorded occasions of this is from 1927, when dancer Isadora
Duncan got her long silk scarf caught in the back hubcaps of her open car.
• As she was driving, the scarf got caught in the wheel and strangled her to death.
9 – Deadly orgy • Sergey Tuganov was given a challenge.
Two women bet him about 43 hundred dollars that he wouldn't be able to satisfy them
in a 12-hour sex marathon.
• 12 hours and an entire bottle of Viagra later, Tuganov won the bet.
And a few minutes later, the 28-year-old died of a heart attack.
8 – High rise window prank • Garry Hoy was a 38-year-old lawyer who
really liked showing off the structural integrity of the windows in his high-rise office building.
• Just to get a rise out of his co-workers, Hoy would get a running start and throw himself
against the windows in his building, always bouncing off harmlessly.
• But one day, Hoy pulled the same stunt, bouncing off the window the first time, and
then taking another run at it.
• The second time, the window popped out of its frame, and Hoy plummeted 24 stories
to his death.
7 – Suffocated by tampons • Mark Gleeson had a terrible snoring problem
after a car crash gave him chronic sinus issues.
• He decided the best way to solve those problems was to stuff tampons up his nose.
• The good news is, he stopped snoring.
Bad news is, he also stopped breathing.
6 – Death at a funeral • In 2011, a 49-year-old Russian woman woke
up at her own funeral, surrounded by loved ones mourning her passing.
• She was pronounced dead of a heart attack at the hospital, but clearly she wasn't.
She started screaming inside her coffin after realizing she was going to be buried alive.
• They managed to get her out of the coffin and back to the hospital, where she died of
heart failure 12 minutes later – for real this time.
5 – Flying Drones • Flying a "drone" has become a popular
thing for people in the last few years, but they've been around for a while.
• In 1979, for instance, there was a drone shaped like a lawnmower flying around at an
NFL game in Shea Stadium in New York.
• That very same flying lawnmower plowed into a 20-year-old man in the stands.
Witnesses said it looked like he had "been attacked by an ax," and he died of his injuries
four days later.
4 – Monkey attack • Monkeys are jerks.
Ask anybody who has been around them for a while.
• You could ask SS Bajwa, the former deputy mayor of New Delhi.
• Except that you can't, because monkeys literally came to his house and killed him
by knocking him off the terrace of his home.
3 – Press F to Pay Respects • There's nothing wrong with playing some
video games.
But playing video games for 50 hours straight with no breaks?
• Well, that will get you killed.
• At least it did to one South Korean man, whose death was linked to heart failure related
to bodily exhaustion.
2 – Horse Love • Back in the mid-2000s, there was a video
circulating the internet involving a man willingly putting himself on the receiving end of sex
with a horse.
• That video shall remain nameless.
• But that guy died, and the State of Washington determined it needed to put laws about bestiality
on the books VERY quickly after that.
1 - Drowning in poop • This is the literal nightmare scenario.
Think about the worst possible way to die, and you'll come up with something like this.
• In 2012, a father and his two sons fell into a pond filled with liquid animal manure.
• People nearby tried to help, but in the end they were unable to pull the family out,
and all three of them drowned.
• Afterwards, it took several hours just for rescue workers to recover
the bodies.
