Talk:List of unusual deaths/Sourcing issues

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a holding tank for content requiring additional sourcing, either because the given sources do not refer to the death as "unusual" (or some synonym thereof), or because the death has only one source and requires a second. Per WP:STALEDRAFT, any content not sourced within 6 months from addition should be removed. If proper sourcing can be found, please add to the main page and remove from the holding tank.

When adding to this page, please place the death under the appropriate header for ease of sorting.

Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das and Bhai Dayala 11 November 1675 The trio are revered as early Sikh martyrs. By order of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, Bhai Mati Das was executed by being bound between two pillars and sawn in half,[1] while his younger brother Bhai Sati Das was wrapped in cotton wool soaked in oil and set on fire,[2] and Bhai Dayala was boiled in a cauldron full of water and roasted over a block of charcoal.[3] As the three sources are not online, there is no clear evidence that any were described as "unusual". Await check of print copies or alternative source(s). Martinevans123 (talk) 14:35, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I used Google Books' "search inside" feature on all three sources, looking first for the martyrs, then the specific pages mentioned, and then for "unusual", "strange", etc. None of these were described as such; the sources are actually quite matter-of-fact about the incident. I'd prefer to have physical copies of the books so I can check more thoroughly, but by local library and its lending partners don't have any of these available.

Dr. Arthur Calhoun Halbert 15 August 1908 While sitting inside a court house with several other people, a cable in the clock tower holding a 1,200-pound (540 kg) clock weight broke. The weight crashed through two floors before landing on Halbert, killing him instantly. No one else present was killed or seriously injured.[4] One of the other gentlemen present received a small scratch, and that's all; the odds of that happening must be astronomical.

Leo Davis 26 August 1912 The harvest hand was holding the brake wheel of a passenger train when air was applied to it. The force of the wheel turning flung him off the train, over a fence, across a road, and through another fence. A blood vessel in his neck ruptured, and he bled to death.[5] Currently only one source calling it "one of the most peculiarly fatal accidents". Reads like something out of a Final Destination book; I'm hopeful I can find another source. NekoKatsun (nyaa) 18:03, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A. A. Hudgin 13 November 1913 The 66-year-old rancher died of blood poisoning, which he contracted the previous month when both his eyeballs were slit open by corn leaves as he walked through a cornfield.[6] I can only find one source calling this unusual (a "peculiar accident", specifically), but given the circumstances I'm hoping to find a second.

Sergio Millán 14 January 2020 The 59-year-old was alone in his apartment in Torreforta, Tarragona, Spain, when an explosion in a petrochemical plant 3 kilometres (2 mi) away launched a one-ton iron plate into the apartment above him, causing the ceiling to collapse, killing him.[8]
Valentin Didenko, Natalia Monakova and Yuri Alferov 28 February 2020 The trio died while celebrating Didenko's wife's birthday in Moscow. During the party, a guest dumped 25 kilograms (55 lb) of dry ice into the sauna pool, which resulted in a large amount of carbon dioxide being released. Didenko, Monakova and Alferov, along with several others jumped into the pool, only to quickly lose consciousness from hypercapnia.[9] The three deaths came as a result of asphyxia due to lack of oxygen. This was all captured on video.[10][11] Sources do not appear to describe this as unusual. Aoidh (talk) 17:53, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Luke Ramone Harper 2 April 2021 The 8-year-old from Ringsend, Dublin, died after inhaling helium from a balloon that he placed over his head. The balloon had been bought for his birthday a week prior.[12]
Unknown man 31 October 2021 A 30-year-old man was fishing with two friends at a lake in Brasilândia de Minas, Brazil, when the group was attacked by bees. He and his friends jumped into the lake to escape the bees, but the man drowned and was partially eaten by piranhas; his friends survived.[13]
Unknown man
May 2021 The body of a 39-year-old man was found wedged inside the hind leg of a papier-mâché statue of a stegosaurus in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Catalonia, Spain. Initial police reports did not suspect foul play. A police representative hypothesised that the individual may have crawled inside headfirst to retrieve a lost mobile phone before his leg became stuck, trapping him inside. Firefighters had to cut the statue apart to extract the body; police observers believed that he may have been trapped in there for "a couple of days". Local media claimed that the family of the victim had reported him missing only hours prior to the discovery. The body was discovered when a man and his son noticed an unusual smell from the statue, and saw the body through a crack in the statue.[14][15] While one source calls it bizarre, the other does not call it unusual in any way. Aoidh (talk) 17:53, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Salman Mirza June 2021 The resident of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, died after using epoxy resin as a contraceptive instead of a condom, while intoxicated from using the same resin as an inhalant. The man was found unconscious outside a hotel the following morning, but died of multiple organ failure after being hospitalised.[16][17] One calls it bizarre, the other does not. - Aoidh (talk) 17:53, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tony Eyles 9 September 2021 The 42-year-old died at a McDonald's drive-through in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, after partially opening his car door to retrieve a dropped payment card.

Laila Zahrul Maisaroh 14 January 2022 The 20-year-old late pregnant woman from Banjarmasin, Indonesia, was killed instantly when a concrete barrier from an elevated parking lot fell onto her. A car in the parking lot had collided with the barrier.[20][21]

Dolores Olive Boschert 22 May 2022 The 23-year-old paramedic was exercising alone on a Smith machine at a Planet Fitness gymnasium in St. Charles, Missouri, when she was pinned by a barbell due to unknown circumstances.

Klil Kimhi 21 July 2022 The 32-year-old fell to his death when a sinkhole opened under a swimming pool he was in at a house party in Israel.[25][26] Only one of the sources describes this as unusual, and it's a quote from a paramedic. - Aoidh (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Muthukumar 2 August 2022 A 54-year-old man in Tamil Nadu, India, died 4 days after falling into a pot of freshly-prepared porridge that was still boiling, suffering 65% burn injuries in the process. The man had lost his balance and leaned against the pot, toppling backwards into it. His wife claimed he suffered from epilepsy which may have triggered the fall.[27][28] New York Post is not reliable per WP:NYPOST, and the India Today article does not describe it as unusual. - Aoidh (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unknown man 7 August 2022 A 65-year-old man was hit in the head by a hammer throw used at a Highland games event in the Netherlands. The thrower lost his balance and the hammer, a metal ball with a stick attached to it, flew over a hedge and struck the man in the head, killing him instantly.[29]
Joseph Smith 21 January 2023 Joseph Smith, a 30-year-old man, was shot and killed by his dog after the animal stepped on a loaded rifle in the back seat of his pickup truck, causing the gun to fire through the front passenger seat and hit him in the back. The driver of the truck, who was sitting next to Smith at the time of the accident, was unharmed.[30]
Leandro Mathias de Novaes 6 February 2023 The 40-year-old activist for the right to keep and bear arms in Brazil was assisting his mother in the MRI suite of Cura Laboratory in the central region of São Paulo on 16 January while wearing a registered firearm on his waistband. The gun, affected by the magnet, was pulled away from him and subsequently discharged, shooting him in the stomach. He remained in intensive care for 21 days before dying of his injuries.[31][32] New York Post is not reliable per WP:NYPOST, and the second reference does not describe it as unusual. - Aoidh (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shivdayal Sharma 19 April 2023 The 82-year-old was urinating next to a train track in the region of Alwar, India, when a cow was hit by the Vande Bharat express train. The animal was launched 100 feet (30 m) into the air before landing on Sharma, killing him instantly.[33]
Lynn Ann Fleming 16 May 2023 The 68-year-old was a passenger in the front seat of a car travelling on the I-75 in Whitfield County, Georgia, U.S., when a cargo winch bar came through the windshield and impaled her. She died at the scene.[34]
Unknown boy 26 June 2023 An 11-year-old boy was killed in Wayne County, Ohio, in a freak accident while riding in a side-by-side, after a dog who was riding in the SSV with him jumped onto the vehicle's accelerator pedal, causing it to accelerate, veer off the road and fly over the edge of an embankment. The boy died at the scene of the accident, while his 12-year-old brother, who was also in the SSV, sustained minor injuries and was admitted to hospital. The driver of the vehicle, an 18-year-old family friend, also survived.[35]
Giacomo Chiapparini 6 August 2023 The 74-year-old died when a shelf in his warehouse in Romano di Lombardia, Italy, broke and crushed him under thousands of wheels of Grana Padano cheese, with each wheel weighing approximately 40 kilograms (88 lb).[36] His body was recovered from the wreckage after 12 hours.[37][38] While The Telegraph describes it as a freak accident, the BBC does not appear to call it unusual. - Aoidh (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dorothy Louise Downey 27 November 2023 The 83-year-old woman arrived at her daughter's house in Salem, South Carolina, to visit and assist with a move. As she was walking in the kitchen, Downey broke through a weakened patch of floor, falling 48 ft (15 m) into a hidden well shaft. She was extricated by rescue services, but died from her injuries.[39][40] Only one source calls it unusual ("freak fall"). - Aoidh (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yogish 25 March 2024 The 24-year-old Bengaluru man died due to a burst colon after his friend blew air into his rectum with an electric high-pressure blow-dryer used for vehicles. The friend was playfully blowing air at him, and when he turned to shield his face, the force of the air was such that it entered his rectum and severely damaged his colon.[41]
Unknown male tourist 13 April 2024 A 30-year-old tourist was killed in a freak accident at a church in El Pinell de Brai, Tarragona, Spain, during the festival of Santa Magdalena. The tourist, part of a group from Terra Alta, Catalonia, had climbed the church's tower during the celebrations and was killed instantly when the church bell, which was ringing at the time of the accident, swung forward and hit him.[42][43] While it's two separate references, they are the same exact article written by the same journalist; the Yahoo! News reference is a reprint of the article in The Standard. - Aoidh (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lucy Morgan 5 June 2024 The 6-year-old girl was with her family on vacation in Limerick, Maine, on 1 June when, whilst playing badminton with her family, her brother's aluminum racket shaft broke and pierced her in the skull. She was taken to the hospital where she died from her injuries four days later.[44]
Tony Knight 7 June 2024 The 54-year-old British comedian died after he was struck by a large tree branch while attending the Rock&Cars festival in Lavaur, Tarn, France.[45][46] Both sources are quoting the same source, the family's GoFundMe page. A tree branch falling and causing a fatality is not uncommon or unusual. - Aoidh (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew Pontious 14 June 2024 The 53-year-old Los Angeles County firefighter was killed while spraying water on a burning construction vehicle when one of the vehicle's tires exploded.[47]

Margherita Lega 4 July 2024 The 41-year-old woman from Trentino, Italy, was killed in a freak accident in Calasca-Castiglione, Piedmont, when she was caught by the cables of a cargo cable car and dragged over the edge of a cliff overlooking the Anzasca Valley. After holding on for a few moments, Lega lost her grip and fell 492 feet (150 m) to her death in front of her family, who were visiting the area with her.[50]
Ayres Sasaki 13 July 2024 The 35-year-old rock singer from Brazil was electrocuted while performing at a hotel in the city of Salinópolis, Pará.
