| How to die in an unusual way, part 47:
|
|
|
| Attila the Hun:
|
| One of the most notorious villains in history, Attila's army had conquered
all of Asia
| by 450 AD--from Mongolia to the edge of the Russian Empire--by destroying
villages and
| pillaging the countryside.
|
| How he died: He got a nosebleed on his wedding night
|
| In 453 AD, Attila married a young girl named Ildico. Despite his
reputation for ferocity
| on the battlefield, he tended to eat and drink lightly during large
banquets. On his
| wedding night, however, he really cut loose, gorging himself on food and
drink. Sometime
| during the night he suffered a nosebleed, but was too drunk to notice. He
drowned in his
| own blood and was found dead the next morning.

| Napoleon Bonaparte:
|
| French national hero, and conqueror of most of Europe
|
| How he died: He was killed by his wallpaper
|
| After his eventual defeat, Napoleon was kept prisoner by the British on
the island of
| St. Helena. When a sample of his hair was analysed in the 1960s, it was
found to contain
| significant quantities of Arsenic, leading to suggestions that he had been
deliberately
| poisoned by the British. But the British had treated him well during
captivity, so it
| seemed unlikely that they would murder him. In the 1980s the truth began
to emerge.
| Scheele's Green was a colouring pigment used in fabrics and wallpaper from
around 1770.
| If wallpaper containing Scheele's Green became damp and mouldy, the
pigment would
| undergo a chemical change, and would give off Arsenic gas. And yes, the
wallpaper in
| Napoleon's bedroom on St Helena contained Scheele's Green. So the British
had indeed
| poisoned him - but only by accident.

| Alexander I of the Hellenes:
|
| King of Greece from 1917, following the forced abdication of his father.
|
| How he died: Bitten by his pet monkey
|
| He was walking his dog in the garden when the dog and his monkey became
embroiled in a
| fight. In trying to separate them Alexander received a bite on his ankle
from the
| monkey. Five days later the wound turned septic and fever set in. The King
died from the
| resulting Cellulitis

| Henry I:
|
| French King, Comte de Champagne, and Crusader
|
| How he died: Accidental defenestration
|
| On 10th September 1197, Henry was in Acre, reviewing his troops from a
balcony window,
| whilst eagerly awaiting word from the Pisan army that their ships and
soldiers were
| ready to join him in relieving Jaffa from Al-Adil's Saracen army. The
Pisan delegation
| arrived in the room and Henry turned to greet them. As he did so, he took
a step
| backwards and lost his balance. As he pitched over, his little dwarf,
Scarlet, grabbed
| at his robes. But instead of saving his master, the dwarf fell, too, and
both men died
| instantly.

| Tycho Brahe:
|
| An important Danish astronomer of the 16th century. His ground breaking
research allowed
| Sir Isaac Newton to come up with the theory of gravity.
|
| How he died: Didn't get to the bathroom in time
|
| In the 16th century, it was considered an insult to leave a banquet table
before the
| meal was over. Brahe, known to drink excessively, had a bladder
condition -- but failed
| to relieve himself before the banquet started. He made matters worse by
drinking too
| much at dinner, and was too polite to ask to be excused. His bladder
finally burst,
| killing him slowly and painfully over the next 11 days.

| Francesco II:
|
| Formerly Jacopo Gattilusio. Lord of the island of Lesbos
|
| How he died: The ultimate panic attack.
|
| On 26th October 1404, Francesco was stung by a scorpion. However, it
wasn't this that
| killed him. Somehow, in his panic at being stung, he caused a riot which
ended up with
| the second floor of his house caving in. That is what killed him.

| Tennessee Williams:
|
| One of the most important playwrights of the twentieth century
|
| How he died: Using a nasal spray
|
| Williams was staying at the Hotel Elysee in New York in 1983 when, whilst
he was using a
| nasal spray, the cap fell off the bottle into his mouth, and he choked to
death

|
| Horace Wells:
|
| Pioneered the use of anesthesia in the 1840s
|
| How he died: Used anesthetics to commit suicide
|
| While experimenting with various gases during his anesthesia research,
Wells became
| addicted to chloroform. In 1848 he was arrested for spraying two women
with sulphuric
| acid. In a letter he wrote from jail, he blamed chloroform for his
problems, claiming
| that he'd got high before the attack. Four days later he was found dead in
his cell.
| He'd anaesthetized himself with chloroform and slashed open his thigh with
a razor.

| Francis Bacon:
|
| One of the most influential minds of the late 16th century. A statesman, a
philosopher,
| a writer, and a scientist, he was even rumored to have written some of
Shakespeare's
| plays.
|
| How he died: Stuffing snow into a chicken
|
| One afternoon in 1625, Bacon was watching a snowstorm and was struck by
the wondrous
| notion that maybe snow could be used to preserve meat in the same way that
salt was
| used. Determined to find out, he purchased a chicken from a nearby
village, killed it,
| and then, standing outside in the snow, attempted to stuff the chicken
full of snow to
| freeze it. The chicken never froze, but Bacon did.

| Jerome Irving Rodale:
|
| Founding father of the organic food movement, creator of "Organic Farming
and Gardening"
| magazine, and founder of Rodale Press, a major publishing corporation.
|
| How he died: On the "Dick Cavett Show", while discussing the benefits of
organic foods.
|
| Rodale, who bragged "I'm going to live to be 100 unless I'm run down by a
sugar-crazed
| taxi driver," was only 72 when he appeared on the "Dick Cavett Show" in
January 1971.
| Part way through the interview, he dropped dead in his chair. Cause of
death: heart
| attack. The show was never aired.

|
| Aeschylus:
|
| A Greek playwright back in 500 BC. Many historians consider him the father
of Greek
| tragedies.
|
| How he died: An eagle dropped a tortoise on his head
|
| Eagles pick up tortoises and attempt to crack them open by dropping them
on rocks. An
| eagle mistook Aeschylus' head for a rock (he was bald) and dropped it on
him instead.
| Many years before, a soothsayer had predicted that Aeschylus would be
killed by a house.
| If you consider the function that the shell serves to a tortoise, the
prediction turned
| out to come true.

| Jim Fixx:
|
| Author of the best selling "Complete Book of Running," which started the
jogging craze
| of the 1970s.
|
| How he died: A heart attack....while jogging
|
| Fixx was visiting Greensboro, Vermont when he walked out of his house and
began jogging.
| He'd only gone a short distance when he had a massive coronary. His
autopsy revealed
| that one of his coronary arteries was 99% clogged, another was 80%
obstructed, and a
| third was 70% blocked....and that Fixx had had three other attacks in the
weeks prior to
| his death.
|
I'd like to die in an unusual manner, give all my friends a giggle when they
think fondly of me.

Not you again!
No tights or cape; wore a cloak once as a vampire in a fancy dress booze up.
It is noticeable that you are not disagreeing with the modest description of
myself.
But you know what happens when you spar words with me, don't you Tinkerbell?
