| Frank Hayes, jockey, suffered a heart attack during a horse race. The horse, Sweet Kiss, went on to finish first, making Hayes the only deceased jockey to win a race.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths. As the title suggests, it's a list of unusual ends people have met. Some of the deaths listed there are just ridiculous, some unbelievable, others just hilarious (or scary) to invision. Here's another such one. A 25-year-old Dutch woman studying in Paris, Renée Hartevelt, was killed and eaten by a classmate, Issei Sagawa, when he invited her to dinner for a literary conversation. The killer was declared unfit to stand trial and extradited back to Japan, where he was released from custody within fifteen months. |

| Probably the best death ever. What do they do when someone wins the race dead? |

| "Lee Seung Seop (이승섭, born c. 1977, died August 3, 2005) was an industrial boiler repairman in Taegu, South Korea. On August 3, 2005, he achieved global notoriety when he visited a nearby Internet cafe and proceeded to play World of Warcraft and StarCraft for almost fifty consecutive hours. Ultimately exhaustion and dehydration induced heart failure and he went into cardiac arrest. He died shortly thereafter at a local hospital. A friend commented: "He was a game addict. We all knew about it. He couldn't stop himself." About six weeks prior to his death, his girlfriend, also an avid gamer, broke up with him, and he had been fired from his job for missing work to play computer games."
This is what happens when you forget that you actually do have to eat and drink. |

| 1695: Henry Purcell, composer, died of a chill after returning late from the theatre one night and finding that his wife had locked him out. It is also possible that he died of chocolate poisoning.
... Either way he died, it is still weird. |

It seems like that deaths related to videogames is usually on people with weak hearts. I'm quite sure there's alot more cases that isn't reported that is indirectly caused by videogames. 
Most of the strange deaths on that list are from the later years though. :/ (edited by Ailure on 10-04-06 03:18 PM) |

| 1999: Owen Hart, World Wrestling Federation or WWF (now World Wrestling Entertainment or WWE) wrestler, died when he fell 78 feet while being lowered into the ring by a cable from the stadium rafters before a match onto a metal ring turnbuckle. He had been scheduled to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship that night.
Wrestling may be staged (this was not during a match, mind you) but how do you fake gravity? |

He was being lowered into the ring by a cable and safety harness. Owen was afraid of heights and did not like this. His nervous moving to get comfortable triggered an early release. He fell 78 feet and his chest smashed into a turnbuckle. That's generally fatal. (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 10-04-06 04:30 PM) |

| Jack Daniel, founder of the famous Tennessee whiskey distillery, died of blood poisoning from a toe injury he received after kicking his safe in anger when he could not remember its combination code.
Have to watch out for those safes. Those things are lethal... |

| I think being hit by ball lightning qualifies as 'HORRIBLE LUCK', don't you? Not to mention how strange the other deaths are. Steve Irwin's in there, too! | |||

Originally posted by Metal Man88 You think getting struck by lightning is qualifies as having horrible luck? Imagine getting struck by something else that came out of the sky - that wasn't a flowerpot or anything. Something bigger, like with what happened to this guy (which I might add somehow escaped me until someone brought it to my attention) 1989: A Belgian teenager was killed by a crashing soviet MiG-23 fighter jet, which escaped from Poland on autopilot after the crew ejected over a false engine failure alarm. I must admit though, that would be tragically hilarious to watch. Watching him get nailed by a falling airplane. |

Why do you think everyone's tapping the market?  |

He only got out because his father is rich and famous over there, or else he would have been serving life in prison  unbelievable..
anyways, did anyone happen to catch this one? 1671: François Vatel, chef to Louis XIV committed suicide because his seafood order was late and he couldn't stand the shame of a postponed meal. His body was discovered by an aide, sent to tell him of the arrival of the fish. ...what the hell? XD |
