2. Faisal (Four Lions)
Compared to the other entries on this list, you could argue that this particular chap's demise is less unexpected; given that he is one of four men running across a field while carrying shopping bags filled with explosives. Their plan is to blow the decadent West sky-high - if only they could agree on a suitable target. Faisal brings up the rear, the others encouraging him to hurry up. And then he trips over. Still, at least he manages to take an innocent sheep with him (look closely). Suddenly, all laughter stops. That is, until the subsequent news story, glimpsed briefly, runs the headline: 'Asian Man's Head Falls From Tree'.
