Another English death, but this time not on purpose: in 1667, the poor James Betts, an utterly hapless suitor at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, was concealed in a locked wardrobe by his lover, Elizabeth Spencer. She was worried that he’d be discovered by her dad, clergyman and master of the College John Spencer.

She should, however, have been more concerned about James, as he died of asphyxiation, and Elizabeth herself committed suicide out of guilt. Both are now reputed to haunt Corpus Christi as ghosts, though you can take that one with a pinch of salt.

Death By Beard

This story has been somewhat twisted since its first telling in the 16th century, but a few facts remain. A man named Hans Steininger was an Austrian burgher whose beard measured approximately 4.5 feet — he normally kept it in a leather pouch for safe-keeping.

At one point, however, Steininger forgot to keep it rolled up, and the beard caught fire when a small fire broke out in Steininger’s house. He burned to death.

This one might make you feel a bit queasy, so stick with me: in 2011, a man in California died after a cockerel taking part in an illegal 🤬-fighting match stabbed him in the leg. With what? The knife that had been strapped to it for fighting.

It’s reported that the man, Jose Luis Ochoa, suffered severe injuries when the cockerel, which he may have owned, gashed him in the right calf. 🤬 fighting is illegal in the U.S., but it’s common practice for fighting birds to be fitted with spurs or knives on their legs. (This has happened before: in the same year, an Indian man supposedly died after a rooster slashed its throat with razor blades, though that sounds suspiciously like murder concealed by chicken to me.)

A 42-year-old man named Gary discovered.

Although it was outlawed in 1990, poaching giant groupers remains surprisingly popular in the Florida Keys. These muscular fish can weigh 600 pounds, yet underwater hunters voluntarily choose to tether themselves to the creatures with spearguns, in defiance of both the law and common sense.

Of this elite group, our Darwin Award winner further distinguished himself by disregarding one essential spearfishing precaution. The "fit and experienced snorkeler" embarked on a grouper hunt without a knife to cut himself loose, guaranteeing that his next attack would be his last. "Not wearing a knife is like crossing I-95 with your eyes closed," explained one experienced diver.

In those final hours, the tables were turned, and the leviathan fish was given an opportunity to experience "catching a person." The body of the spearfisher was found pinned to the coral, 17 feet underwater. Three coils of line were wrapped around his wrist, and one very dead grouper was impaled at the other end of the line.

In 1995, a particularly daring daredevil named Robert decided to attempt something no-one had ever done before – ride his jetski off Niagara Falls.Now that might sound completely stupid, but Robert had done some planning. He’d fitted his jetski with a rocket booster and was carrying a parachute.The idea was to fire the booster as he hit the falls, opening the parachute at the apex of his flight and drifting down to safety in the water below.Unfortunately Robert had failed to factor in one crucial element – the fact that water makes things wet.As he hurtled towards the falls and pressed the button, his utterly-soaked rocket booster failed to ignite. Plummeting off the edge, he tried his parachute, but it wasn’t water-proof either and failed to deploy.

Swinging in the air, the displeased captive made a counter-move and wrapped its body round and round its captor, constricting in self-defense. Zaim swerved off the road and the results of Round Two became apparent to passers-by the next morning. They killed The 3.5 meter snake to free the man's body, and a post-mortem confirmed his death by strangulation.

Driving home from a wedding, Prabhu Bhatara idled the car on the roadside to relieve himself in the woods. From a squatting position he spied an INJURED bear--but instead of calling the authorities to help the bear, he opted to get a #selfie with the distressed animal.

Meanwhile, instead of intervening, the passengers in his car pulled out their mobiles and filmed the carnage...

As he neared the bear, the passengers advised him against his plan. Mr. Bhatara, however, was determined to fulfill his selfie mission. Once he was within reaching distance, though, the bear was not as injured as it seemed (or it was just having a bad hair day) and lunged forward, pinning Mr. Bhatara to the ground, "killing him on the spot," according to Forest ranger Dhanurjaya Mohapatra.
