There's a story in there somewhere
I’m not exactly sure where to put this category wise, but I think it’s a prompt. I feel like there are stories in here, mounds of them. Strange, eerie, sad ones perhaps, but then a lot of fiction isn’t terribly cheerful.
They say truth is stranger than fiction, and this list proves it. The list starts in 430 BC when Empedocles, a Pre-Socratic philosopher, jumps into an active volcano. It continues to modern day – a recent entry from 2009 records the unfortunate death of Sergey Tuganow who bet two women that he could continuously have sex with them both for twelve hours. He won the bet but had a heart attack, apparently because of the full bottle of Viagra he downed.
While some of these are just too odd to be useful, there’s sure to be one here that will spark something.
And so I give you Wikipedia’s List of Unusual Deaths.
