The reason you're reading this is because you have a slightly morbid fascination with death. We all do. It's one thing all humans have in common, and it could happen at any time. Some people die peacefully of old age, while others go out with a bang. One seemingly irrelevant decision can quickly turn to a very final one, as is the case with many famous cases on this list. Aside from a few very unfortunate people, the majority of these fatal incidents unquestionably qualify for The Darwin Awards. If you're a Game Of Thrones fan, no doubt you've seen some pretty gruesome demises (our eyes are still wincing from that scene), but such bat-sh*t insane deaths don't just exist in the fictional world: you really couldn't make up some of the ways people have left us. From red-hot pokers up the bum during the Middle Ages, Elvis dying on the toilet, and a pet cat murdering it's owner (seriously, keep an eye on those evil felines - they're definitely plotting to kill you), let's take a look at some of the weirdest, stupidest, and grossest ways people have popped their clogs.
