No matter how different people were, they still have something in common-they are dying. This is a very tragic, but an integral part of life. Someone goes to the other world quietly, and someone to the sounds of the orchestra. Well, you do not even want to die with the deaths listed below.
1. Romantic death
Poet-dreamer, Li Bai, while in the boat, tried to kiss the reflection of the moon in the water. Unfortunately, the man fell overboard and drowned. Most likely, the decisive factor in the death of the poet was that he was in a state of intoxication. Ironically, before his death, he wrote a poem in which was the following line: "Lonely and drinking under the moon."
2. The Divine Doom
King of Sweden, Adolf Fredrik, died well fed. Death came after fatal indigestion: the governor ate caviar, sauerkraut, smoked herring, lobster, 14 portions of favorite dessert and drank everything with champagne and milk. He is still remembered as a king who ate to death.
3. Be more careful with your desires
The American revolutionary, James Otis Jr., often told his friends that when the hour comes, he would like to be killed by lightning. The man's desire came true when he stood in the doorway of his friend's house, and lightning struck the chimney.
4. Deadly experiment
Clement Wallandigham, an American lawyer, defended a man who was accused of murder. Clement argued that the victim shot himself and tried to demonstrate this directly in court. As they say, once a year and a stick shoots - it turned out that the weapons were loaded. During the experiment, the lawyer killed himself. There is no need to explain that, in fact, he won the case.
5. Mystical death
Grigory Rasputin was poisoned by a group of nobles. He was shot 4 times, beaten and thrown into the river. An autopsy revealed that he died from hypothermia.

7. Pointless death
Povereds, write down! Kurt Godel died of hunger at a time when his wife was lying in the hospital. The man suffered paranoia and refused to eat any food prepared not by his beloved.
8. Die, but be right
In an attempt to prove to a group of people that the windows of one of Toronto's shopping centers are shockproof, a 38-year-old man, Harry Hoy, threw himself out of the window. The man fell from the height of the 24th floor due to the fact that the glass fell out of the frame. By the way, it did not break.
9. Fatal error
Shante Mallard on the way home was hit by a homeless man named Gregory Biggs. He was stuck in the windshield of the car, but in fact he had no serious injuries. However, the man died a few hours later, when Mallard left the car in the garage with Gregory stuck in the windshield.
10. A little bit much
The 28-year-old man argued with two women that he would be able to engage in uninterrupted sex with both at once for 12 hours. It's funny that he won a large sum of money, which, unfortunately, will never be able to spend. Death came instantly after the sexual marathon due to the large number of Viagra, which he took before the dispute.
11. Killed by his own invention
Jimi Heselden, the owner of the gyroscope company, died when he left the cliff on the segway.
12. I fell like a cow on my head

14. The Death Race
In 1923, the jockey Frank Hayes won the races at Belmont Park in New York, despite the fact that he died. Approximately in the middle of the distance the man had a heart attack, but by some miracle he stayed in the saddle and was in this position until the horse crossed the finish line.
15. Deadly bite
In 1900, an American physician, Jesse William Leyzer, claimed that a yellow fever was transmitted through a mosquito bite. Allowing the infected mosquito to bite itself, the man proved that he was absolutely right.

18. Immunity resulted in death
The Queen of Siam (present-day Thailand), Sunandha Kumariratana, drowned in front of hundreds of her subjects in 1800, as they were forbidden to touch the queen. Any touch = the death penalty.
19. Wave-killer
21 people died in Boston, siphoned off by molasses, in 1919, when a huge molasses tank exploded, and a wave of liquid about 7.5 meters high swept through the city streets at a speed of almost 60 km / h.
