Mother killed her own daughter by dousing the Air conditioning with bleach.

Spring cleaning, out with the bad--including the child. It IS next to Godliness.

One of them made it onto Wikipedia's Deaths of 2017 list because of her reports for the Weather Channel.

Man wants to lock himself into a small airtight room for three days, and survive by the plants in there doing their thing (photosynthesize, is that a verb?).

Usually cougars land on all fours.....but not this time.

A student fell four stories in the Tanner Building on Brigham Young University's (BYU) campus in Salt Lake City, Utah.

She landed in the atrium of the building around 9 a.m. (doesn't say when she started falling, just sayin...)........
.....and was transported to Utah Valley Hospital in critical condition.  A preliminary investigation and it is ongoing.

Good idea, poor execution.

A man died Tuesday morning after he was shot and taken to the old Tennova Physician's Regional Medical Center hospital, which permanently closed Friday, Dec. 28,

911 dispatchers received a call around 4:15 a.m.Tuesday from security at the former hospital.  When officers arrived, they saw a silver Toyota Camry and three people at the front door of the hospital, one of whom had been shot.  He died due to his injuries.

Someone lost...

A University of Georgia sprinter was impaled by a javelin during practice.

Elija Godwin was reportedly doing a backwards spring drill when he backed into a javelin sticking up out of the ground.  The javelin went through Godwin’s back and punctured his lung. He was rushed to the hospital with part of the javelin still in his chest. The rest of it was sawed off by paramedics when he was loaded into the ambulance.  Godwin went into emergency surgery at the hospital.

Godwin’s mother said he made it through surgery and was breathing on his own. She said he has a collapsed lung and will likely be out for the season, despite being expected to make a full recovery.

Oh how I want a video of that one.

This thread is born in response to numerous posts suggesting and/or asking why we don’t have a Darwin Award thread.  Now we do!

 

It should be limited to self-inflicted stupidity, which separates it from the Ironic Deaths or Interesting Ways to Die.threads.

 

So lets get this party started.  With an unnamed person, just to be obtuse.

 

Three women who went tubing entered the South Platte River and were floating east on the river..  After some time they came to a low head dam in the river that diverts water from the river.  The parties talked, and two of the parties decided to exit the river and go around the dam. The third party decided to go over the dam and continue east in the river.

The pair who walked around the dam saw the victim go under the water and not come up for some time.  When they saw her come up she was floating in the river unresponsive.

Her name had not been released prior to publication.

You just beat me to it.

The original descriptive title was: People can be stupid, some of them prove it in how they die.

Might be an idea to retitle it as Darwin Awards, use that ^ as a subtitle, and add SC's latest contribution.

Thanks, @Paul Bearer.  Could the title be changed to Darwin Awards so that it shows up better in a search for such? 
I notice Sir Creep had previously made several posts in the thread, presumably forgot it existed, and failed to find it under "darwin".

Edited July 6, 2019 by Paul Bearer
Name changed.

I should say at the outset that nobody died, but ....

Yesterday a resident of our village decided that it would be a good idea to get rid of all his garden waste by having a bonfire on the edge of a stubble field.

I think you can guess what happened next.

Nah, I think the police did that when they turned up, along with six fire engines from 3 counties.  47 acres had already gone up in smoke though.

I think the farm manager was next in the queue, as the fields had already been drilled and sown.
