Top 10 Most Bizarre Deaths Ever
All human beings have one thing in common – they eventually die. It is a tragic, yet inevitable part of life that has been happening since the beginning of life. Some people wish to die peacefully in their sleep; others want to leave this world with a bang. Here is a list of the ten most bizarre deaths ever.
10. Sani Abacha
Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha, died at his home in Abuja of a heart attack. The cause of death was rumored to be ingestion of large quantities of VIAGRA. During Abacha’s reign, he and his family reportedly stole $10 billion from the country’s cashbox. In 2004, he was listed as the fourth most corrupt leader in history. Abacha’s national security adviser, Alhaji Ismaila Gwarzo, played a direct role in the looting and transfer of money to overseas accounts. In 2002, the dictator’s family agreed to return $1.2 billion that was taken from the central bank.
9. Adolf Frederick
Adolf Frederick, King of Sweden (1751-1771), died on 12 February 1771 after eating a meal that included lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, kippers and champagne, which was topped off with 14 servings of his favourite dessert: semla which was served in a bowl of hot milk. He is most remembered as “the king who ate himself to death.”
8. Raymond Chapman
Raymond Chapman, a baseball player for the Cleveland Naps and later the Indians, has the record for being the only ballplayer to die of a game-related injury in the major league. On August 16, 1920, he was hit by a pitch at the top of the 5th inning in a game with the New York Yankees. Back then, spitballs and other ornery tricks were quite the norm and the ball thrown by Carl Mays was reportedly very unpredictable and hard to see. It hit Chapman so hard, it sounded like the crack of a bat. Now thank goodness helmets are mandatory for all players.
7. Francois Faber
François Faber, Luxembourgean Tour de France winner, died in a trench on the western front of World War I. He received a telegram saying his wife had given birth to a daughter. He cheered, giving away his position, and was shot by a German sniper (1915). The GP François Faber, a small race in Luxembourg, is named in honor him. There is also a plaque in his memory at the Notre Dame de Lorette church in the French national war cemetery near Arras.
6. Jack Daniel
Famous Tennessee whiskey distiller Jack Daniel decided to go to work early one morning in 1911. He wanted to open his safe but couldn’t remember the code. In anger, Daniel kicked the safe and injured his toe, which later developed an infection and killed him! The actual cause of death was blood poisoning.
