These 10 Ridiculous People Died In Ways That Are Beyond Outrageous

When it comes to death, the best I can hope for is to succumb to illness or old age in a hospital bed. While that might not sound very fun, dying as an old fogey is better than dying as a young idiot.

Death is not kind to the dumb. While I feel bad for the following victims, their fatal mistakes make me wonder if they honestly had it coming.

1. One video game addict in South Korea decided he was going to play a game called Star Craft for 50 hours straight, only stopping for bathroom breaks. He died of dehydration and heart failure.

6. When King Charles II of Navarra was sick, his doctor ordered him to be wrapped in linen and covered in brandy. Unfortunately, instead of cutting the last thread of linen with scissors, the nurse thought it’d be a great idea to burn it off, effectively grilling the King alive.

8. A Russian man bet two girls he could go all night with them for $3,000. To win the bet, he took an ungodly amount of Viagra. It must’ve been a good night…up until his heart exploded and he died.

That move was not grrrrreat.

As much as I make fun of these silly deaths, I’ve been known to jump onto train tracks to retrieve my phone when it falls. If that’s how I eventually die, I would consider it an honor to be added to this list with my fellow fallen comrades in idiocy.
