I found the best wikipedia page: The list of Unusual deaths and here are
some of my favourites. Warning that some of these are graphic.
10) A 25 year old woman from Ottawa, Ontario and Steven Leon, 40,
of Gatineau, Quebec, died after an airborne American black bear smashed
through the windshield of their SUV Near Luskville, Quebec. The bear had been
hit by another vehicle, launching it into the oncoming lane where it landed on
the SUV
9) Humberto Hernandez, a 24-year-old Oakland, California resident,
was killed after being struck in the face by an airborne fire hydrant while
walking. A passing car had struck the fire hydrant and the water pressure shot
the hydrant at Hernandez with enough force to kill him
8) Richard Sumner, a British artist suffering from
schizophrenia, went into a remote section of Clocaenog Forest in Denbighshire, Wales, handcuffed himself
to a tree and threw the keys out of his reach. His skeleton was discovered
three years later.
7) Owen Hart,
a Canadian-born professional wrestler for WWF,
died while performing a stunt where he was to be lowered into the ring from the
rafters of the Kemper Arena on
a safety harness. The safety latch was accidentally released early and Owen
dropped 78 feet (24 m) and landed chest-first on the top rope, severing
his aorta.
6) Jeremy Brenno, a 16 year-old golfer from Gloversville,
New York, was killed when he threw his club against a bench in a fit
of rage, breaking the shaft. Part of the shaft bounced back and pierced his
heart.
5) Franco Brun, a 22-year-old prisoner at Toronto East
Detention Centre, in Toronto, Ontario, choked to death after
attempting to swallow a Gideon's Bible.
4) James Frederick Polley, a 23-year-old from Raytown, Missouri, died
while riding the Fire In The
Hole ride in Branson, Missouri,
at Silver Dollar
City theme park.
The train of cars he was riding in was mistakenly switched to enter the
maintenance and storage area of the ride. The door to the maintenance area had
a low-hanging bay door and his head got caught between the door and the train.
3) Alex Mitchell, a 50-year-old from Norfolk, England, died
laughing while watching The Goodies.
A particular scene had caused Mitchell to laugh nonstop for twenty-five minutes
before dying of heart failure.
2) Basil Brown, a 48-year-old health food advocate from Croydon, drank himself to
death with carrot juice.
1) Thích Quảng Đức,
a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, sat down in the middle of a busy intersection
in Saigon, covered himself in
gasoline, and lit himself on fire, burning himself to death.

Crazy people everywhere...
damn!
Laughing yourself to death? Now that's just creepy.
Thích Quảng Đức, was actually protesting, which explains his actions.
You should check the darwin awards, if you haven't already, more stupid death scenes!
These are somehow amazing! followed
Is number two really possible?
there's a picture for the number one death...he did it for a reason
These are pretty interesting, I'm never surprised at what wikipedia has to offer. Some of those would look cool as hell in a movie.
