Hey there, the title says it all really, just found this interesting myself and thought there's probably millions of other people out there that didn't know this either.

2008: David Phyall, 58, the last resident in a block of flats due to be demolished in Bishopstoke, near Southampton, Hampshire, England, cut his own head off with a chainsaw to highlight the injustice of being forced to move out.[168]

Duuuuuude....

2009: Sergey Tuganov, a 28-year-old Russian, bet two women that he could continuously have sex with them both for twelve hours. Several minutes after winning the $4,300 bet, he suffered a heart attack and died, apparently because of having ingested an entire bottle of Viagra just after accepting the bet.

Helluva way to go!!!

Clearly the necessary risk assessments were not carried out when planting the coconut trees.

Where there is blame....

It's actually a serial killer who beats people to death with his weapon of choice - the coconut. He's prolific.

good job they don't grow over here as the elf'n'safety lot would more than likely place a 2 mile no-go area around each tree.

Hard hats must be worn within a 50 mile radius.

2009: Vladimir Likhonos, a Ukrainian student, died after accidentally dipping a piece of homemade chewing gum into explosives he was using on another project. He mistook the jar of explosive for citric acid, which was also on his desk. The gum exploded, blowing off his jaw and most of the lower part of his face

Thats the best one
