FO raised the issue of Sonny Bono crashing into a tree while skiing, and guessed that no one has had such a strange death.
I don't know if any one was stranger, but here are some other weird ones we've thought of:
-Phil Harman, shot to death by his wife, who then killed herself, seemed to come completely out of nowhere.
-Harry Houdini, demonstrated how he could take a punch to the gut, was hit several times there. He later died of a burst appendix, which might have been related.
-Bruce Lee, died mysteriously out of the blue
-Brandon Lee, died from a prop gun malfunction
-Jim Morrison, cause of death unknown (no autopsy)
-Edgar Allen Poe, died mysteriously, cause unknown
-David Angell, producer of Frasier, dies in the 9/11 attacks
-Lupe Velez, mentioned on Frasier. Wanted to be remembered for her beautiful suicide, but her overdose didn't agree with her and was found with her head in a toilet.
-Jack Daniel, angry at not being able to open a safe, kicks it, causing blood poisoning that kills him later.
-Steve Irwin, stabbed in the heart by a stingray.
-Tycho Brahe, in a drinking contest, held in his pee for so long that he died of a burst bladder.
-William Henry Harrison, gave the longest Presidential inauguration speech in history, outside, on a cold and wet day. Developed pneumonia and died having the shortest Presidential term in history.
-Archimedes, was working on math on the beach during a siege. A soldier tried to capture him, but Archimedes wouldn't leave his figures behind; the soldier killed him.
-Supposedly, Aeschylus (Greek playwright) died when an eagle dropped a tortoise on his head.
