Death is not a curse for it is part of one’s life cycle. It’s an inevitable stage which chooses no one in no exact time and place. It happens to everyone and each of us has to go through it as we grow old and can no longer be capable of what life took us.
To die is not as simple as slashing one’s throat and feel breathless because it comes in many different ways- accidents, illness, suicide, and getting killed can actually cause people to die. If we have known so many people who died from these causes, you won’t believe but there is actually odd death accounts happened in the history that is somehow ridiculous to think of, and a very different story.
1. Li Bai
Li Bai was a major Chinese poet of the Tang dynasty poetry period, and his, er, poetic death is a well-known legend in Chinese culture. The story says that Li Bai drowned after falling out of his boat on the Yangtze River while trying to – get this – embrace. the reflection. of the moon. Yeah.
2. Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb
A few months after opening the tomb, a man named Carnarvon died, most likely due to blood poisoning from a mosquito bite that came from the Mummy’s tomb.
3. Two Canadian sisters
Two Canadian sisters were found dead in their hotel room while vacationing in Thailand. Poisoning was thought to be the cause, and after investigations, it was reported that the sisters had died of DEET poisoning after consuming a local cocktail made with the neuro toxic mosquito repellent. Neuro.Toxic. Mosquito. Repellent. In a drink.
4. Garry Hoy
Garry Hoy, a Toronto lawyer, had a habit of demonstrating the unbreakability of the glass in the Toronto-Dominion Centre by throwing himself against it. While the stunt proved successful every other time, this one particular day, the glass gave, and Hoy fell 24 stories to his death. It should be noted that the glass did not in fact break (well, except for when it hit the ground) but rather it popped out of its frame. So really, Hoy was right.
5. Clement Vallandigham
The case went something like this: Ohio, 1871. A man was shot and killed in a bar fight. The defendant’s attorney, Clement Vallandigham, argued that the victim had actually killed himself while trying to draw his pistol from his pocket while in a kneeling position. To prove the plausibility, he demonstrated this act to the jury, grabbing a gun he believed to be unloaded. He killed himself in the process, and in doing so, proved his own point. The defendant, Thomas McGehan, was acquitted.
