Perhaps the dumbest of all the ways to die on this list - and this is up there with a ski lift and a ladder on it. In 247 Fahrenheit, the conceit is simple - a bunch of friends travel up to a desolate cabin in the woods. As the drink flows and the kids unwind, 3 of them manage to get locked in the sauna. And the heat keeps rising...

247 Fahrenheit may be peak Darwin Awards, but it is also based on true events: much of which happened exactly as they are depicted in the movie. Up to a point, anyway - thankfully no-one died in real life.

In the case of 247 Fahrenheit, however, things get extremely messy. Hot too.
