That’ll do pig

Being bit by a severed snake
A chef in Southern China did not know it was going to be his last working day when he started working on a soup made from snake.

After twenty minutes however, he wanted to throw the snake head away and got bit by the snake’s severed head and died… Police stated the case was “highly unusual but it appears to be just an accident”.

The jaws of death
Democratic Republic of Congo suffered probably one of its weirdest plane crashes in history.
20 Crew and passengers died in a plane crash when a crocodile, which was smuggled by a traveler in a sports bag, freed itself and decided to explore the passenger area.
Of course, everyone ran towards the flight deck in sheer panic, and the tiny plane lost its balance and crashed.
Only one passenger and the crocodile itself survived..

Gone in a flash
Santiago Alvarado from Lompoc, California, was killed when he fell through the roof of a bicycle shop he was robbing at the moment..
However, it wasn’t the huge drop that killed him. He died because the long flashlight, which he’d placed in his mouth to keep his hands free while burgling, rammed through the base of his skull as he hit the floor.

Skydiver
Almost thirty years ago, 35-year old skydiver Ivan McGuire decided to record his two mile jump above North Caroline on camera.

Becoming trapped in a rabbit hole
When 50 year-old hunter Stephen Whinfrey was trying to catch and track a rabbit on New Year’s Eve, he did not foresee his upcoming tragedy..
While he tried to spot his prey in its burrow, he decided to stuck his head down the rabbit hole. This was not such a good idea, as he got stuck in the hole and suffocated…
Research later showed that Whinfrey may have been affected by alcohol, which would explain his rather unfortunate decision.

Out with a bang

A funny way to go
In 1975, Alex Mitchell from Norfolk, didn’t really go in the worst way ever. When watching an episode of the hit BBC comedy “The Goodies”, he laughed so hard at an episode that he died of a heart failure.
