Top 10 Most Unusual Ways People Have Actually Died

When someone dies, you may think it's from some disease or other common cause.

But these causes would be funny to explain at the funeral!

1. A lawyer in Canada tested the unbreakability of his skyscraper office window, which popped out, causing him to fall to his death.

   

   Garry Hoy, a lawyer in Toronto, Ontario, fell to his death from the 24th floor of the Toronto-Dominion Centre while demonstrating to a group of visitors that the building's windows were "unbreakable." Hoy threw himself against the glass, which indeed did not break. Instead, the window popped out of its frame.

   I think he was, in fact, drunk and showing off his windows' unbreakability to his friends.

   Yet another "the ship's unsinkable" moment.

2. A person involved in an Ohio court case demonstrated how the alleged murder victim killed himself and accidentally shot himself with a gun he thought was empty.

   Clement Vallandigham, a lawyer and Ohio politician defending a man accused of murder, accidentally shot himself while demonstrating how the victim might have accidentally shot himself. His client was cleared.

   Great list and comments, Turkey! For me, it was between this and the guy trying the unbreakable window!

   He at least made his point, and the man accused of murder was proven innocent.

3. Two unsupervised children dropped furniture from their 27th-story apartment building onto civilians, resulting in fatalities.

   First of all, where were the parents? The judicial system should have severed their parental rights before the first couch hit the ground. If only I could have been a fly on the wall when they met with the insurance adjuster. "What do you mean it's not covered?"

   All I had to deal with was waking up after dozing off, only to discover that my toddler had used a permanent marker and scribbled all over my neck, arms, and legs. There is a reason they call it "permanent"!

   They didn't know they were civilians. When asked why they were doing this, they replied they were trying to crush those "ant-looking things" on the main floor. They started off with food but later even threw a television off.

4. A man bet by two women that he couldn't have sex all day for $3,000 took an entire bottle of male enhancement pills and later died of heart complications.

   It took that much effort to avoid sex? I know some people wouldn't call that a problem, but I would.

   I've got to warn the perverted people out there NOT to try this one at home.

   That is just too much of a sex craving. Society is pathetic.

5. A Chinese poet drowned while trying to embrace the reflection of the moon in a river.

   Kissing the reflection is clearly an understatement. That bloke was dunked to death, much like that woman who thought she was a biscuit.

   He or she was pretty clearly either some wise philosopher or an absolute idiot, or maybe even both.

   I have heard poets describing the urge to touch the moon's reflection in water, but actually doing it? Nah! This guy was epic.

6. A Russian woman wrongly declared dead woke up during her funeral and died of a heart attack upon realizing she was in a casket.

   I can imagine right after she really died, the people were like, "Okay, she's dead for real now, in she goes."

   This is the perfect explanation of "buried alive."

   Thanks for reading!

   Maybe she died twice! Like Monica's Nana.

7. A man created a noose-like device to help his wife's sore neck, tested it himself, and accidentally hanged himself.

   I've got to say it was a good thing he didn't use it on his wife.

   That's awful. The poor man was trying to help his wife and died doing it.

8. A Brazilian couple stopped in the middle of a busy highway to have sex and were fatally hit by a car.

   I'm pretty sure nobody should ever, ever try this on the I-75 (one of the busiest highways in Michigan).

   Now that is pretty disturbing. Why stop in the middle of a HIGHWAY? Do it somewhere else!

   I suppose it's not a terrible way to go though.

9. A person drowned unnoticed until after the event at a lifeguard party in Louisiana celebrating a year with no drownings.

   Maybe the guards should have not all been partying and saved them.

   It was really wrong of me to laugh at that, but it's so darn funny!

   I mean, good job, but not good job.

10. A man received an expensive bill for his own cremation, had a heart attack, and died before being cremated at the same crematory mentioned in the bill.

    Maybe this is how that company has been marketing its products! Killingly clever!

13. A man died after his colon was perforated during sex with a horse.

    

    Er...

    I mean, sure, they always told you to "dream big," but damn...

14. A man originally sentenced to death had his sentence commuted to life in prison, but he was later electrocuted by a loose wire while sitting on a toilet.

    I guess he was just meant to die via electric chair.

15. A man died of laughter after a donkey ate his figs.

    What? This can really happen?

    I didn't know donkeys liked to eat figs!

    Man, I think I could die of laughter. I laugh a lot.

16. A boy died while taking a selfie at the edge of a bridge.
