re: Most disturbing way someone you know died

Speaking of children and off road accidents here's what might be my two other submissions:

Kid in the grade below died in HS playing the joking game. He was 15. His best friend found him when he showed up to pick him up for school. He found him when he went into his room to wake him up and found him with a belt around his neck and his pants around his ankle.

Another friend from HS was practicing motocross with his little brother who fell off his dirt bike at the height of a jump and the dirt bike landed on his chest and neck. He was still 13.
