re: What was the dumbest way someone has died that you've heard about?

High school teacher was selling a pistol and a man came to his house with the intention of buying. Teacher's son who was a friend of mine picked up the pistol. Potential buyer told him he should not play with a gun and the teacher said it wasn't loaded. Son pointed at his dad, pulled the trigger and killed him . His mom moved away after the funeral and I have always wondered how my friend turned out.

Girl I dated in HS was from a town 30 minutes over and I got to know a few of her friends. One was a guy who was a good athlete, good looking, and wealthy, but acted like a wounded puppy. Just a depressing person.

I asked about it and he and his identical twin brother were playing with toy guns and arguing about who shot who and then he went and got a real pistol from his dad’s closet and shot his brother. So young he had no idea what he had done till he was a bit older.

I probably moved from dumb to tragic on that one.
