Here's an interesting one I've never heard of.

1. Two different drug overdoses during a streaming video chat. Madness.

[arcadian]

2. This was a weird one. Remember this?

2003: Brian Douglas Wells, a pizza delivery man in Erie, Pennsylvania, was killed by a time bomb that was fastened around his neck. He was apprehended by the police after robbing a bank, and claimed he had been forced to do it by three people who had put the bomb around his neck and would kill him if he refused. The bomb later exploded, killing him. In 2007, police alleged Wells was involved in the robbery plot along with two other conspirators

3. I remember that

That was nuts. I still don't believe he willingly put that thing on.

[Pale Blue Dot]

6. I think there was a recent news story in which he was cleared.

I'd look it up, but a have a bomb strapped to my waist.

[sniffa]

7. But, didn't the police (FBI?) say he was an accomplice?

:shrug:

I thought at one time they also said he was the lone person involved in it.

:shrug:

4. Dear Mr Pinyan, that's not a good way to get your own wiki page.

5. But he got his own movie

8. Laughing yourself to death could happen here.

:scared:

11. Just like Martin of Aragon

"When Martin died, in Valdonzella or in Barcelona in 1410 (apparently from a lethal combination of indigestion and uncontrollable laughter<3>)"

Oh and you can actually do that.

14. Monty Python killer joke reference in 3...2...1...

:rofl:

[Tom Kitten]

9. This one is especially creepy

The Dyatlov Pass incident,when nine skiiers died due to "unknown compelling force"

[sniffa]

10. Thanks for that

It allowed me to go that era for the first time. Right out of the bat is this guy:

[skygazer]

12. Very creepy

I read that one to my husband, who immediately said, "aliens." Personally, I was more inclined to think "Soviets."

[XemaSab]

17. Here's some good shit, if you link to the article:

The tent had been ripped open from within.

:scared:

[SallyMander]

16. This one also creeped me the F out

1994: Gloria Ramirez was admitted to Riverside General Hospital for complications of advanced cervical cancer. Before she died, her body mysteriously emitted toxic fumes that made several emergency room workers very ill. She has been dubbed as the "toxic lady" by the media.

:scared:

[AlCzervik]

13. There is a documentary about Pinyan called "Zoo". Yes i watched it.

[XemaSab]

15. From "Death in Yosemite"

Head on collision between an asphalt truck and a car. The car plunged off the cliff, then filled with boiling asphalt. x(

This book also gave me the MOST FREAKY WAY TO DIE: plunging over a 1,000 foot waterfall. Yes, MANY people have died while plunging over waterfalls in Yosemite. They go wading in the creek upstream, slip, get carried off on the current, and go screaming to their deaths. :o

[DarkTirade]

18. Yeah... some jackhole linked to one of his videos (possibly even the fatal one. Who knows?)

and called it something else. So I clicked on it.

There are some things that cannot be unseen.
