Everyone who is born into the world, death awaits, no matter how regrettable it may sound. But it's one thing to go into another world at a ripe old age, in your own house on a soft bed, and it's completely different to die in the prime of life with the most terrible death.

First of all, we will tell you some stories about the most terrible and mystical deaths in the world.

Two brothers

No wonder they say that twins are connected by an invisible thread, they not only feel each other at a distance, but even experience the same feelings at the same time.

Two seventeen-year-old twin brothers from Finland tragically died two hours apart under the same circumstances. They were both motorcyclists, and both were hit by trucks while crossing the same road, but at different kilometers.

Burned like a match

In the 90s, information about spontaneous human combustion began to appear. Several hundred cases have been confirmed that this phenomenon actually exists.

For unknown reasons, people's bodies ignited and continued to burn until the fire "ate" themcompletely.

One of the oldest deaths in the world, among others, chose the American Henry Thomas. He was watching TV while sitting in a chair when the flames suddenly engulfed him. No things in the house, and, in fact, the house itself, were not damaged. But from the body of Henry there was only a skull and part of a leg in a shoe.

Killer Animals

No, no, these animals are not predators at all. The point here is completely different.

• An Italian farmer lies down to rest on the grass while hunting rabbits. The man placed the gun beside him. One small rabbit, running past, touched the trigger. The gun fired straight at the farmer. He died on the spot.
• A fisherman from South Korea gutted the fish he caught to put it up for sale. He raised the knife over a large fish, but it turned out to be alive and unexpectedly waved its tail, hitting the knife. It fell out of the hands of the fisherman and hit him right in the chest, leaving not even the slightest chance of salvation.

The reasons for these ridiculous and some of the most terrible deaths are in the banal negligence of people.

Death in the shadows

Two elderly Italians argued for a long time about which of them would take a place in the shade of a palm tree. The old man who won the argument did not even have time to properly enjoy his victory, the tree fell on him and crushed him to death.

Suicide

• In the Vietnamese city of Hishim, 50 onlookers gathered on a small bridge watching a young girl commit suicide. The bridge could not withstand the load and fell. 9 people died. The girl who tried to commit suicide wasrescued.
• An equally tragic incident occurred in Prague. A woman who believed the rumors about her husband's infidelity decided to take her own life. She stepped from the balcony of her apartment on the 3rd floor and fell right on the head of her husband, who was returning home. The man died and his wife woke up in the hospital.

Justice

• A New Yorker who was hit by a car but did not receive any injuries decided to take advantage of the situation and lie under the car, pretending to be crippled. As soon as he was under the car again, it moved and ran into the crook, crushing him to death.
• A resident of Bonn wanted to rob the local Museum of Art. Caught in the eyes of the guards, he started to run. Turning the corner, I came across one of the exhibits called "Instrument of Justice". A meter long sword pierced the failed thief through and through.

The worst deaths of celebrities

No one is safe from a sudden departure to another world. It is very common to hear about the death of a beloved star, especially if there are a lot of idols.

Maybe you have already heard about these most terrible deaths of people known to the whole world.

Bruce and Brandon Lee

The famous actor died right on the set. The official version is an allergy to painkillers that Bruce was injected with so that he could continue filming. However, some argue that Bruce Lee was de alt a delayed-action deathblow, which is owned by some representatives of the Chinese mafia (there was evidence that in his youth the actor had enemies from that environment). Surprising is the fact that the film, on the set of which the actor died, was called "Games of Death".

Brandon Lee repeated the fate of his famous father and also died on the set, but under different circumstances. The actor starred in the movie "The Crow". In the final scene, his character is killed off. The double was filmed, but even after the director reported that the scene had been successfully filmed, Brandon continued to lie like a dead man. The assistants who came to the rescue saw that the actor was actually bleeding. He died in the hospital 12 hours later.

Isadora Duncan and her children

The famous American dancer Isadora Duncan died in a very strange and ridiculous way. Shortly before her death, a strange woman looked into her room in Vienna, where the dancer was on tour, and said that she was sent by God to strangle Isadora. Later it turned out that this woman was mentally ill. However, the plans of God were destined to come true. Isadora did indeed die of asphyxiation and a broken neck when her favorite long red scarf got caught on the axle of the car she got into. The car moved, the scarf wrapped around the wheel, Isadora died tragically.

14 years before her death, Isadora lost two children. She went on business to Paris, and sent the children with a chauffeur to Versailles, where she then lived with her family. On the way, the car stalled, the driver went out to see what was the matter, and the car rolled down into the river. The babies could not be saved. The worst deaths in the world are the deaths of your own children. Isadora to the endlife could not find peace.

Jack Daniel

American Jack Daniel - the creator of the famous whiskey Jack Daniel's - was dying of sepsis for a long and painful time. He got blood poisoning as a result of numerous kicks on the safe, the code from which he could not remember. By the way, it was his famous whiskey that was stored in the safe. If Jack still managed to open it, he could treat the finger with his own product and prevent infection from entering it. Alas and ah. The history of the subjunctive mood does not tolerate.

The most terrible deaths: top 8

Not always a person dies under mystical or mysterious circumstances. We present to your attention the 8 most terrible causes of death, which, according to doctors, are the most painful:

1. Hunger. A person can live without food for about two months. However, after 10 days of hunger, there is no strength left at all. The body begins to suck out nutrients and energy from fat. The liver begins to malfunction, releasing toxic substances that eventually kill the person.
2. Shipwreck. During a shipwreck, a person is not only in danger of drowning, starvation or hypothermia. Even if you still managed to survive, loneliness in the middle of the ocean can drive you crazy. And also the threat of shark attacks does not leave you alone for a minute. Dehydration leads to a painful death. Some, in the hope of salvation, begin to drink sea water, but it only strengthenslack of water in the body, because s alt draws all the remnants of fluid from organs and tissues.
3. Falling into the volcano. Of course, it is very difficult to get into the mouth of the volcano, however, if there are such daredevils, they will face a painful and most terrible death. The top layer of lava is not as hot, but as you dive deeper into it, the human body will burn for several minutes.
4. Sacrifice. One of the most terrible deaths for people is death in the process of sacrifice. If several centuries ago this was the norm in some societies, then in today's civilized countries this crime is committed only within the framework of sects, the mere falling into which is already like death, because a person "drops out" of life and renounces everyone, including yourself.
5. Plane crash. The most terrible deaths of people in the world are deaths in a confined space. When the plane starts to fall, not only a sense of panic seizes all passengers. The rapid approach of the aircraft to the ground leads to a loss of consciousness for a couple of minutes due to lack of oxygen. When a person wakes up, the speed of the falling plane will already be prohibitively high, and there will be no more than a few minutes to live …
6. Predator attack. Tigers and lions kill the victim immediately, so she does not have to suffer for a long time. But hyenas and jaguars eat prey while still alive, and starting from the feet.
7. Frostbite. Low temperature affects the human body very insidiously. At first, the muscles begin to tremble from lack of heat. Then, as a result of too active jitter, they break,the ability to move is lost. Attempts to crawl on the ground lead to nothing. Body temperature continues to fall, and faster than the internal organs freeze. The work of the brain is disrupted, the person is no longer able to understand whether he is alive or dead.
8. Shame. "Burn with shame", everyone has heard such an expression, but no one thought that this feeling can actually "burn out". High levels of anxiety and stress based on some act or event can lead to cardiac arrest. Prolonged self-digging slowly develops into self-destruction and possible suicide.

I would like to think that the most terrible deaths in the history of mankind happened only at a time when the death pen alty was not only the only way of justice, but was also carried out publicly. In fact, the insidious "old woman with a scythe" lies in wait today literally at every step, and it's not a fact that it's safer to live today than several centuries ago. The worst thing about death is the unknown: no one knows at what point it will sneak up and what will happen after.
