Ok, first some people may be offended by the fact that I am making fun of dead people. But then, how many of you played Resident Evil? Ok, warning over.

Some of my favorite odd deaths...

The Stupid
----------
Charles Felder, 71, died in Dallas when his cleaner unplugged his life support unit to use her vacuum cleaner in the bedroom.

A German man named Wener Shenke bit off another man's ear while they were having a battle in a Breman bar, he then went on to choke to death on the detached appendage.

A Russian Blacksmith was killed in the ensuing explosion after hammering on a cannon shell he had used as an anvil for 10 years.

The Ridiculous
--------------
A Thai Snake Catcher and charmer died of strangulation as he carried an 11ft Boa Constrictor home from his act in Phetchaburi.

Both a German man and his son were killed when they went diving in the Adriatic sea after a Croation man had thrown dynamite into the sea to try and catch some fish.

The Plain Bizarre
-----------------
Three Japanese men, all in their 50's and all working for the same company, hanged themselves in the same Tokyo hotel. All of them wore identical white shirts and hung themselves from identical white ropes.

A Warsaw man's plan to rob a jewellers came unstuck when he miscalculated and drilled the wrong spot. He drilled right through to a food factory where he landed in a vat of spinach and drowned.

More to come if I don't get too many complaints!

Very good, especially that spinach one. :0)

One of my favourites is as follows.

A man driven insane by the amount of creepy crawlies that shared his house with him decided once and for all to rid himself of them, bought a few dozen bug spray cans, removed their lids, and let them all just fill the house with the toxic gas.

Unfortunatly, he didn't realise that the gas was flammable, and a small spark from an electrical application blew the man and the house to smitherines, and also resulted in half the village burning down.

He drowned in spinach and his aim was to rob a bank... that is funny, I would laugh at me if I died like that.
