Unusual deaths
So i was fooling around, when i stumbled upon this hilarious list, it’s a list of some of the most unusual deaths that were gathered since 458 B.C. till this day.
Here are some of my favorites ( i know it sounds mean, but i cant help myself )
Aeschylus, Greek playwright, was killed when an eagle dropped a live tortoise on him
Chrysippus, a Greek stoic philosopher, is believed to have died of laughter
An insect flew into the Roman emperor Titus’s nose and picked at his brain for seven years
Humphrey de Bohun, 4th Earl of Hereford was fatally speared through the anus by a pikeman hidden under the bridge during the Battle of Boroughbridge
George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon became the first to die from the alleged King Tut’s Curse after a mosquito bite on his face became seriously infected.
Janet Parker, a British medical photographer, died of smallpox in 1978, ten months after the disease was eradicated in the wild, when a researcher at the laboratory Parker worked at accidentally released some virus into the air of the building. She is believed to be the last smallpox fatality in history
In Congo, a soccer game ended when every player on the visiting team was struck by a fork bolt of lightning, killing them all instantly
28-year-old South Korean, Lee Seung Seop, collapsed of fatigue and died after playing StarCraft for almost 50 consecutive hours in an Internet cafe.
But this has to be the funniest of them all:
Arius, the heretical priest who precipitated the Council of Nicea, passed wind and evacuated his internal organs
