re: Strangest death of someone you know

A guy 1 year below me in high school got so drunk one night and fell asleep on his back. Choked on his own vomit.

Sad because he was a nice guy.

friend was playing with a revolver that he thought wasn't loaded...was trying to twirl the gun around his finger like they do in the old westerns.

Gun was loaded, shot himself in the head...wife was close to giving birth to their child

And lastly, the one that weirds me out the most...uncle goes to dentist and has a reaction to the anesthesia and passes away...

not all that strange though. if you have surgery and anesthesia, they always make you sign something where you admit you know you may die from the anesthesia or a reaction to the procedure (like a stroke).

I know a guy that got in car accident and in that accident a power line pole was knocked down. Guy was alright, got out of car and stepped on a live power line and was electrocuted. He was in his mid 20's.

Secretary at our office just told me yesterday some guy she knows went outside for a cigarette at 2:00 am last week, slipped and smacked his head, and froze within 15 minutes in the sub-zero temps.

This is Final Destination type shite. These are cases where I hope there is a God.

Three old men I knew had always talked about buying an island in the Bahamas, for about 30 years. About 20 years ago, they did it. They were having a house constructed on it, and the three guys wanted to go check on its progress. The only thing left unfinished that they see is the wall/railing for each of patios on each level of the three-story house.
It's raining, so they set up their chairs under the house and stay up late, just marveling at what they've achieved. One guy gets tired and goes up to his bedroom.
About a half hour later, the two guys below start yelling for the other one to get back down to see how amazing the lightening looks on the water.
Guy upstairs pops out of his bedroom and falls straight to his death, at the feet of his buddies.

Edit: He did not die right away, but he died in the boat they put him in, trying to get medical attention.

I didn't know the guy, but when I was 13 I saw a man and his infant daughter both die from a lightning strike on the beach in Gulf Shores.

Wow scary. I know they gave me propofol when I had my wisdom teeth extraction

when i was a substitute teacher, i had a kid from one of my classes pass away from a freak farm accident.

apparently he was on a horse which got startled by something causing him to jump off. and when he did he hit his head on a nearby tractor, killing him.

i also had a neighbor, 4 days from retiring, fall off his roof. he was up there with a leaf blower and slipped and hit the driveway head first.

Had a friend and co-worker die from a flying umbrella coming off a table/umbrella setup. It was a windy day, the umbrella/table was next to hotel pool. Gust of wind takes the umbrella from table, flies over fence protecting pool, across parking lot and jambs him in neck. Great guy, extremely nice guy.
