Dying in unusual places..............

[craft1948]

Do you know of anyone who died in odd circumstances/unusual places?

Believe it, or not, my great-grandma died in a pub..............

Here`s two more:
My father-in-law enlisted in 1914 and served throughout the Great War on the Western Front with n`er a scratch. On his discharge in December 1918 he spent the first day he could spare to indulge his hobby of train spotting. He went to Waterloo and got run over by one. Wotyer laughing for - it was so sad.

Now this is sad. My Russian pen-friend`s brother was a drunk, never without a vodka or three. He lived in Siberia and in the middle of winter 15 years ago made himself stupidly objectionable at a party. "Oh, go away and sober up" or words to that effect, and he did, only nobody noticed until the following morning. The SS had gone out onto the balcony, it was -40C and he was found the next morning frozen upright, still with a vodka in one hand and a fag in the other.

Mumsie - my grandpa died on his way into the bookies. Took a massive heart attack on the flight of steps leading to the front door and was apparently dead before he hit the ground. It made sense when my mum and aunt were sorting out his affairs and discovered he had gambled away every last penny. My granny wasn't best pleased....

King George II, queencharlotte's grandfather-in-law, died on the toilet.

At least it wasn't his grandson, mike, otherwise he would have been known as George the Turd.

A friend of mine died whilst out fishing. His widow got some weird looks as in the death notice she put.........."Died doing what he loved best at Pocklington canal"..........

one of my dads aunts, jumped off the tower bridge, many years ago!
wish I could trace up that mystery, and wonder if it was ever in he newspapers.

One of my school master's daughters (same age as me) died tragically on her farm in Cumbria. A cow, having given birth to her first ever calf, gored her through the stomach when she entered the pen - think she was about 26/27 at the time........

This isn't funny but an old lady who lived near my granny died after falling into a bath of very hot water...... the bit that was funny was that she was called Blanche !!

Evelyn Waugh was another who strained too hard on the toilet.

My brother wanted to see a certain TV prog, before it was due on he went up for a shower, said to his wife give me a shout when it comes on. At 10pm she shouted up the stairs it had just started.. she shouted again 10 mins later. after another 10 mins she went upstairs into the bathroom and found him dead on the toilet, he hadn't had a shower. He'd had a massive heart attack.The ambulance man said it happens quite often.
(Elvis Prestly died sitting on the toilet)

My husband's uncle was lieing on the settee watching a comedy on the tv. He laughed so much he fell off the settee and was dead before he hit the ground. He literally died laughing!
My uncle was a commando in the army during WW2. He went on many dangerous missions and came back still in one piece. Then he got cancer of the throat - he was a very heavy smoker, got over that and was killed with an electric shock from a kettle which he had 'wired' by poking the bare ends into the plug. At the time he was standing on a wet floor with no shoes or socks on.
