Interesting Ways To Die...

Nearly...

 

Brings tears to the eyes.

 

From article

 

"I went downstairs and got a Stanley knife out of my toolbox and just started hacking away. The pain was unbelievable.

 

"It only took a couple of minutes of cutting before I quickly sobered up..."

 

:sicktherm::unsure:

 

As a member of the council. Is he/she sort of recommending to hack away at your bell end as a last ditch attempt to sober up? "Uh oh... it's 5am... I've sunk 2 bottles of wine and some chasers...work in 2 hours... how shall I sober up in time?....hmmmm"

Russian man dressed skeletons as dolls

 

A Russian man arrested on suspicion of stealing 29 skeletons from a local cemetery dressed them up as giant dolls in fancy dress to decorate his apartment, an official said.

 

Police have arrested Anatoly Moskvin from the central city of Nizhny Novgorod, who reportedly has a PhD and was known locally for his fascination with cemeteries.

 

"Twenty-eight human-size dolls were found in the 45-year-old Nizhny Novgorod resident's apartment," the spokeswoman of the region's interior ministry Svetlana Kovylina said in a video clip on the ministry's website.

 

"He made them himself using clothing and mummified human remains stolen from cemeteries.

 

"Another body was found in his garage."

 

The shaky police footage shows a small apartment crammed with books and heaps of colourful fabric, with bodies positioned in casual poses among cheap furnishings and oriental rugs.

 

Police released the video after reporting last Thursday having found 20 skeletons in the man's flat, but delayed the gruesome details until after the public holiday on Friday for Russia's Day of National Unity.

 

Moskvin, pictured with greying hair and beard and wearing a brown winter coat, is "known in some research circles as a specialist in cemeteries," said the spokeswoman.

 

A native of the Volga river city and author of several books about cemeteries, Moskvin now faces up to three months in prison.

 

In an interview to a local journalist several years ago he said he became interested in cemeteries while still a teenage troublemaker, after accidentally witnessing an unusual burial organised by a member of a sect.

 

"Since then, I am pulled to cemeteries as if by a magnet," he said in the interview, published by journalist Tatiana Kokina-Slavina on her website.

We don't have an interesting way to not die thread so I thought I'd mention a story in today's soaraway Sun, a woman coughed up her - apparently - fatal tumour.

 

I doubt the Lockerbie bomber or any other cancer-ridden popular picks are likely to pull off the same stunt.

50,000 litres of "washback"

No need to waste it - I say finish off making it - it's a rare one-off product line, and market it to raise funds for charity - at least one of their guys has already fully put his all into it.

Its a classic way to go but some immigrants recently devoured some poisonous Aussie mushrooms in the kitchen of the local German club: http://www.abc.net.a...kitchen/3760704

 

The culprit, Amanita phalloides or deathcap is itself a European immigrant in Australia. In Europe this mushroom causes deadly meals every year. I love mushrooms for food (chanterelle, shiitake, truffle!), but I won't eat any that people have picked themselves, unless they're trained mycologists.

 

regards,

Hein

NEVADA CITY (CBS13) – A man died Thursday morning after getting caught in a wood chipper while trimming trees at a home outside of Nevada City, according to the Nevada County Sheriff’s Department.

Martin Lara Urena

The accident happened around 8 a.m. at a home on Indian Shack Road. The victim, identified as Martin Lara, 50 of Applegate,

was part of crew using a large, industrial wood chipper.

Co-workers heard the man scream but could not help him in time.

According to the sheriff’s office, Lara somehow became entangled in a rope that was tied around a bundle of wood and was being pulled by the chipper. He was decapitated apparently either by the rope, clothing or brush and his body was pulled into the cone of the wood chipper but didn’t go all the way in before a co-worker pulled the lever.

“It was definitely a freak accident,” said sheriff’s Sgt. Hap Penaluna.

The company, Bushwackers, had been hired by the homeowner to clear brush.

“I don’t know how that could have happened,” said Jim Norman, owner of Trees Unlimited, who said he planned to talk to his 10 employees in the wake of the accident. “It brings tears to my eyes.”

Just came across this gem in Wikipedia:

 

"Konrad [von Jungingen, Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights] died in 1407 at Marienburg Castle and was buried there. He died a most unusual martyr's death. His doctor prescribed Sexual Intercourse as a cure for his Gallstones, from which von Jungingen was suffering at the time. The chaste knight refused to comply, and suffered the consequences."

A bit harsh on the guy driving the car that killed him to be wanted for causing death by dangerous driving.

 

I mean who the hell expects/could avoid a sofa flying towards you in the middle of the road?

 

I took it that it was the guy towing the sofa who was 'the accused'.

You'd think they'd have been able to cushion the impact. :)

A man has died after trying to set a world record for the longest time spent buried alive

 

"Basnayake was buried at around 9.30am on Saturday. Police said that when he was brought to the surface at 4pm he was unconscious and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

 

Doctors were not immediately able to determine how he died." :scratchhead:
