This is morbidly fascinating

Wikipedia features an entire "List of unusual deaths," including the likes of:
- the dancer Isadora Duncan, who died of accidental strangulation and a broken neck when one of her signature long scarves got caught on the wheel of a car in which she was riding shotgun...

-Robert Williams, a worker at the Ford Motor Company plant, who became the first known man to be killed by a robot...
-Jennifer Strange, a 28-year-old woman from Sacramento, who died of water intoxication while trying to win a Wii console in a KDND107.9 "The End" radio station's "Hold Your Wee for a Wii" contest, which involved drinking large quantities of water without urinating...
-and so many more. Go look at it. It'll probably entertain you for at least 10 minutes. And that's better than 0 minutes.
