Do you know anyone who died of a freak accident/rather stupid accident?
I always feel bad yet am amazed or might even chuckle by stories of people who seriously die in odd ways. By stupid accidents I don’t mean to belittle the situation or things like slips and falls, but for example, the owner of the Segway who died testing one. Or I also heard this story of a guy showing customers how strong these windows are for skyscrapers, so he leaned against one and the window broke so he fell down. I also think a famous writer/poet died by swallowing a bottle cap.
I just wondered if you knew anyone who died in an odd way like that.
