“drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra”?

And a cousin's young son was run over by a car backing out of the driveway. (I know we already determined that they aren't freak accidents.) He was biking and wearing a helmet. Doctors were so focused on checking for brain injury that they didn't notice internal bleeding near his heart.

Op here. My daughter actually has cold urticaria and gets cold induced anaphylaxis (like from eating a popsicle, ice water, or shoving her face in snow). Our allergist has been very clear that falling or jumping into a cold body of water could be deadly within minutes from anaphylaxis shock. I bet he had the same. Terrible.

Thank God for the allergist’s diagnosing the real issue!

My dd has extreme health anxiety. God help us if she ever learns this is a thing.

"Choked on buttered Italian bread while laughing at funny death scenarios on dcum". My dh wanted to block the site...now it's too late.

My great grandmother's family died from eating wild mushrooms -- I think three or four family members died total (I'm now forgetting).

Friends dad got hit in the head by something that fell in his open garage during winter. He was knocked out and died of hypothermia. His wife was home too, just didn’t check on him in the garage for a few hours.

Colleague’s wife died while on African safari. Jeep hit something and she flew out of vehicle because she wasn’t belted.

Cousin and his 5 year old daughter were fishing on a small inland lake. Weather was fine. Somehow they both ended up in the water - little girl in life jacket survived. Her dad drowned (was previously healthy, no known health conditions, good swimmer). The family still doesn’t know what happened.

That sounds a like cover story for an overdose or suicide. Really sad.

Why would THAT be your cover story?

Gravity is a bi!ch I guess! So is water.

Around here a lady went out to milk her cows, stepped on her pitchfork and it impaled her.
HOWEVER, her husband was charged with her murder. He's in prison but no one is quite sure...

My FIL died on the toilet. Heart Attack.

This happened long time ago. Smalll village on the hills, a car went out the main road and down a (mild) cliff. Nobody got injured and a local guy passing by kindly offered to help bringing back the car to the main road using his truck. During the manouver the truck overturned and the local guy helping out died on the spot
