A teenage boy in Chicago died nearly a day after he was reportedly shot in the head at a party, then presumed dead and covered with a white sheet for at least an hour until bystanders saw the 17-year-old move and began shouting at paramedics to help him.

Erin Carey suffered a “catastrophic” wound after gunfire broke out at a party in Chicago’s University Village neighborhood just before 5 a.m. Monday. Carey was among six people shot that night.

Nigerian healer died after attempting to demonstrate the efficacy of his bulletproof charms to a client.

Chinaka Adoezuwe, 26, died when he told one his clients to shoot him in an attempt to test his charms.  “A young man had gone to [the healer] to prepare bulletproof charms for him, which the native doctor did. To prove the efficacy of the new charms, [he] positioned and handed over a gun to his customer.   Then tragedy struck.

This sounds like he died inside out.  And as a fancier of the raw oyster I hadn’t considered this possibility:

A man dies from eating oysters tainted with flesh eating bacteria.

Seems your post also died from the inside out cause your link is dead....

The oysters in Norway are fabulous and are raised/grown by many private restaurants and by fishery companies who raise them in small sea water tanks. Yummy! Hopefully they are safe.

I cant imagine the epidemic that would have to occur to actually make me stop eating oysters.  Maybe I’ll come to Norway!

Ok - we all die.That means: D_E-A-D.  How die, or how not to die, that is the question. What is the MOST interesting way to die, ever? Surely this must be the MOST INTERESTING QUESTION FACING US.

Look at the skeleton of a man crushed by an enormous stone while trying to flee the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. He wasn't quick enough. Perhaps a dose of anabolic steroids would have saved him?
