I can't ever find a link to it now, but when I worked in newspapers I saw a story where a guy purposefully crashed his car into a concrete bridge support. Just to make sure, he had a pitchfork stuck between the floor and his chest.

I've read about a few people who have set themselves on fire with gasoline while in a bathtub.

I've seen a lot of weird stuff, so it's hard to decide on a "favorite." Here are some highlights:

  • Guy who probably got super drunk and passed out in his hot tub. It basically turned into soup, and we had to scoop his skin and other pieces of him out of the hot tub with aquarium nets.
  • Guy strangulated himself while doing auto-erotic asphyxiation. Died with his junk in his hand and porn playing on a loop. The ME didn't bother to turn the TV off before we got there.
  • Telephone pole got squirrelly while being installed and fell on the guy's head
  • Guy was parked on the side of the road getting a mouth hug and a drunk driver slammed into the parked car doing about 70 mph. Killed both of the people in the parked car. We received his junk from the ME in a ziploc bag.

I have a friend who worked a traffic accident one time where the driver was receiving oral sex on a freeway entrance to our city. A critical point was reached in the transaction and the driver lost control of the car. It left the roadway at plus 60 mph and crashed, killing both occupants. It was when the bodies were removed that it was noticed that part of the drivers' body was in the mouth of the female passenger. She appeared to have bitten down hard in panic.

Wasn't there a former Oilers player or something that this happened to? Or is that an urban legend?

Bull rider got thrown straight up in the air and he came down vertical on a metal fence post. Entered under his junk and speared all the way straight up to his neck.

Responded to a suicide early in my career. Victim had driven a pick into the ground leaving the pick side up. He then leaned over the pick and shot himself in the head.

When we found him he was dead from the GSW but his head was impaled on the pick. It went right into his eye socket.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

A Houston Doctor was decapitated by a malfunctioning elevator in the medical center a several years ago.
His female colleague remained trapped in the elevator with the top 2/3 of his head for several hours.

You would be amazed at the number of people in the last 30 years who have died on Grand Canyon hikes from drinking too much water. It evidently is much more difficult and takes much more time to dehydrate people than to hydrate them.

ive got pictures of a couple dallas crackheads that were trying to steal the copper out of a live transformer. looks like what happens when you lose track of time while drinking and forget about the hot dogs on the grill.

old friend of my dads died while baling hay when i was a kid. they tell you to never reach in the baler while the tractor is running for a reason. something was apparently jammed so he got out of the tractor to remove it and when he reached in to fix it, got pulled in by the rollers. his brother came later when he didnt show up for dinner and saw part of his arm hanging out the baler, tractor still running.

Anton Yelchin


After Yelchin failed to arrive at a rehearsal on June 18, 2016, he was found by friends at around 1:10 a.m. on June 19, 2016,[35] pinned between his Jeep Grand Cherokee and a brick pillar gate post outside his house in Studio City, Los Angeles, dead from a freak accident.[36][37] As Yelchin got out of his car and went to check his locked gate or mail, the vehicle apparently rolled back down his driveway, which was on a steep incline, and trapped him against the pillar and a security fence. Yelchin was pronounced dead at the scene at the age of 27;[38] the Los Angeles County Coroner's office identified the cause of death as "blunt traumatic asphyxia" and stated that there were "no obvious suspicious circumstances involved".[39][40]

My cousin is an EMT and I asked him this once. He said the craziest thing he's seen was some dude that was drinking a bottle while driving. He hit a car while drinking and the bottle went through his skull.

This happened late last year. I can't imagine the manner of death, or being the grandfather. Still bothers me in the same way as the first time I read about it.

This guy amazingly DIDN'T die after taking a particle accelerator to the head

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski

Quote:

As a researcher at the Institute for High Energy Physics in Protvino, Russian SSR, Anatoli Bugorski worked with the largest particle accelerator in the Soviet Union, the U-70 synchrotron. On 13 July 1978, Bugorski was checking a malfunctioning piece of equipment when the safety mechanisms failed. Bugorski was leaning over the equipment when he stuck his head in the path of the 76 GeV proton beam. Reportedly, he saw a flash "brighter than a thousand suns" but did not feel any pain. The beam passed through the back of his head, the occipital and temporal lobes of his brain, the left middle ear, and out through the left hand side of his nose. The exposed parts of his head received a local dose of 200,000 to 300,000 roentgens. Bugorski understood the severity of what had happened, but continued working on the malfunctioning equipment, and initially opted not to tell anyone what had happened.

On a workover rig about a mile from ours the driller hit the crown, parted the cable and the block fell on the derrickman/rod basket. Cut him in two, from the top of the shoulder on one side to below the armpit on the other side. Top part fell to the ground, bottom part stayed in what was left of the rod basket. Since I was a derrickman the tool pusher on that rig asked if I would go up in the derrick and try to get the rest of his body down. I declined.
