70 Unbelievable Stories About People Who Met Their End In The Strangest Ways

I had an elderly great-uncle that had a heart attack while in bed with an adult worker. His wife went scorched earth on Facebook and then gleefully spent all his money.

Tried to rob a d**g dealer with an airsoft gun.

A guy in high-school (my best friends boyfriend)
He was fixing his car in the garage and my friend went over and found him. His Mom was home, and when my friend went over, his mom let her through the house and said, hes just in the garage, go on through. It was a very cold night and he closed the garage door. He was under the car when she found him.
This was 40 yrs ago, we were 17. At that point i had never learned not to close your garage door with the engine on.

Hit a train at a gate crossing in a sports car. Not the front of the train, the side of the train. In daylight, clear weather, no ice. Guy was a mechanic with his brand new dream car.

Kid in high school I knew got partially paralyzed when ejected from his car driving stupid with no seat belt. Worked on physical therapy and whatnot for a while, dad bought him a new SUV converted for him to drive it while still partially paralyzed. Drove stupid again with no seat belt and ejected again when he crashed, but that time he d**d.

Doctors son, typical rich kid. He got a brand new high performance car for his 16th birthday. He was a menace. Burning rubber around the school parking lot. Kids that were his friends even refused to ride with him. That was how reckless he was. Wrapped the car around an oak tree driving to school one day. Had the car maybe six months. Thankfully only he was gone.

There was a young woman I worked with, who by total coincidence was my next door neighbor a few years later. Her boyfriend d**d in a freak accident in the mountains of Utah. A few months after his d***h, she went to those same mountains to spread his ashes. She fell to her d***h while emptying the urn.

Deliberately caught COVID to prove it was harmless; d**d of COVID.

I have two:

First was a guy who loved to decorate elaborately for Christmas. He was hanging decorations in his bathroom and stood on the toilet. Somehow he slipped off, hit his head on the sink and d**d.

Second was a former client. He was a white collar guy with a vacation home in a rural part of Michigan. He went up there alone to have focused quite time. There was a big storm and a tree fell across his driveway. This was a long driveway surrounded by forest off the main road. He decides he can use a chainsaw and chop up the tree because he was expecting a FedEx delivery later that day and for whatever reason wanted the delivery to make it all the way up to the house.

He had no business trying to use a chainsaw but he fired it up. The rest is speculation because there was no witness. But what we think happened was he was trying to cut up the fallen tree and the chainsaw kicked back and decapitated him. Right there in the driveway. FedEx driver found him a couple hours afterwards. I’ve always thought about that d**n FedEx guy coming upon that scene…

I had a girl who used to work for me that I eventually had to fire because she was pathologically incapable of not inserting herself into drama. She would continuously insert herself into the middle of any argument or disagreement and fan the flames wildly. She moved 2 states away and was k****d in a drive-by by local gang members because of some drama at work she involved herself in.

Edit to add another I just thought of that u/future_speedbump made me think of. A manager at another store in our district told an employee trying to call out with COVID that she had to come to work. She did, the entire management staff got sick. He d**d in the hospital 3 days after showing symptoms.

My dad was 3/4 of a yr sober for the first time in my entire life (mid-20s at time), and decided to drink in celebration of the fact he just got a new apt, and also just got his license (and job) back.

When he chose to sober up, he had a massive heart attack and d**d on the spot. Half an uneaten ham sandwich on the counter.

Ran into his yard to catch his cat that ran out the backdoor. Stepped on something. Two weeks later, feeling really bad and going to the hospital and d***g of tetanus infection.

OK, not "dumb" but he was an immigrant and maybe didn't have up to date tetanus vaccination. The situation is dumb, not the guy. All he thought was "dammit, I stepped on some nail or something, slapped a bandaid on it and went on with life, then d**d.

Two middle schoolers were building a tunnel. They were a year ahead of me. It collapsed, one of them managed to wriggle out, but he couldn’t dig out his best friend.

Horrible guilt. Don’t dig tunnels unless you went to Colorado school of mines, my friends.

School ended, did a burnout at the school parking lot. Sped onto the country road, lost control and drove into a ditch going like 50-60 mph.

My mum d**d after rolling her mobility scooter.

In other news, don’t get a three wheel mobility scooter.

I didn't technically know him, but a friend of mine's neighbor came home drunk, passed out in his front yard, and drowned in his kids' kiddie pool. His wife found him the next morning..

Coworker d**d tripping on his own dog leash.

Engine antifreeze drinking contest. Yes you read that right. One d**d, one pretty messed up.

A high school classmate burglarized a house while its owners were at church. He stole some guns and sporting equipment, then tripped on the steps on the way out and stabbed himself in the stomach with an arrow. He pulled out the arrow and made it back to his pickup truck, but bled out a half-mile from the house he'd robbed.

Never slowed down in his speed boat no matter how choppy the water was. Took the wrong wave at 80+ MPH, was gone by the time the boat stopped rolling.
