re: Strangest death of someone you know

He failed a PT test the day before which was unusual. We all told him to go to the doc. He said he had a cold and was fine. It was onset and with no real warning, kinda like a heart attack being your first warning of heart trouble.

I saw a young 20s Marine a few weeks ago complaining of frequent urination and weight loss. Turns out he was a Type 1 diabetic. He had no idea. Another week or so he could've easily gone into DKA and died.

My first cousin's other grandfather tripped in the bathroom and hit his head on the toilet. Broke his neck and died right there. Shitty way to go out, imho.

One of my h.s. friend's mother was travelling down I-10 and a semi in front of her slung up a torn-off mudflap laying on the highway into her windshield. The mudflap went through the window and nearly decapitated her, killed her instantly. Very sad stuff.

(no message)

I won't go into details about where or when but when I was farming some things I saw (some repeatedly) were:

1. silo gas killing 2 brothers and one of their sons. One guy collapses, next guy goes to save him and succumbs and so on....
2. patriarch of family falls into mixer wagon early one morning before any one else is up- PTO is still running
3. guy raises bull from calf, decides not to slaughter it before 18 months, bull kills him in pasture one day, guards his body, parish sheriff has to empty his service weapon into bull for EMTs to confirm he is dead.

and a old one from 1987: woman hanging laundry during deer season, hunter is old and trigger happy and disoriented in woods, deer crosses path then disappears, women puts up white garment, hunter sees flash of white thru brush, fires and severs her left arm with his 30-06 killing instantly. He was like 250 ft from the house.....

A friend, a friend of his and his two kids disappeared while going to their cabin via boat. They found kids toys and one small piece of boat remnants in the water and it's believed a humpback destroyed their boat. Humpback boat collisions aren't uncommon but one breaching onto a boat would obliterate it.

My grandfather died in a presumed boating accident when my mom was 16. They had a house in Newport Beach with an attached dock and he took the boat out one day and was never heard from again and they never found him or the boat.

Guy I went to high school with was murdered by a few guys who graduated a few years ahead of us. It's pretty graphic so i'll just link a news report.

---

That murder probably wasn't a bad thing in the long run. It got 3 crazy fricks off the streets and the crazy fricks probably saved a few lives by taking that piece of shite out. Sounds like a win-win.

Who is Brian and why would pushing your nose into him kill you?

Im calling Bull shite

One of my good friends from childhood on to college was in Rocky Point Mexico while another of our friends, former friend now after what he pulled, threatened to jump off the third story balcony and kill himself. Well my friend tried to stop him from jumping, they both went over and of course the friend trying to save him ended up on the bottom during the fall and died while the frick trying to kill himself walked away.

Another guy that I went to HS and played basketball with and was a McDonald's All-American died after he flipped his car and was ejected. The accident wasn't what killed him though, he got smoked by another car while he was getting up after being thrown 60 feet but that last wasn't reported in the news...they just said he died in a single car accident. The craziest part was he was a 6"6 white dude that was a McDonalds All-American whose dad played a long time in the NBA, he could have gone to any school, and yet he chose to play at Northern Arizona University and that is where he dies. He should have picked Duke.

Another crazy one was one of my best friends, and EASILY one of the toughest guys I have ever known by far, died in college during an argument with his GF. They had the just left us at the bar and he was arguing with his GF and as she was turning around in a cul-de-sac he tried to get out of the car. She was only going around 5mph but he tripped getting out and his head smacked the pavement....2 days later they took him off of life support. 5mph.....frick! His brother was my roommate at the time and 3 months earlier my dad had died unexpectedly, that was a really shitty time in our apartment.
