, “What’s an actual cause of ****** so extremely rare that it’s hard to believe it’s possible?” I was led down a-many rabbit holes of real deaths I cannot even fathom. Here’s everything people shared:

1.”In 1988, a dog fell from a building in Buenos Aires, Argentina, landed in a woman’s head, ******** her and the dog instantaneously. Then, another lady, completely confused, watching the event unfolding from the middle of a road, was run over by a bus; then shortly after that, an older man ***** from a heart ******* out of the commotion of seeing both deaths. This happened in under a couple of minutes.”

2.”I heard that a sinkhole formed under some man’s bedroom and took him with it. It was so deep that they couldn’t find him. Definitely a unique ****** situation.”

3.”My mother-in-law used to be a surgeon. She told me about a patient they had back in the ’90s. He ***** because of holding in a sneeze. Turns out he had an aneurysm in his brain that popped at that moment.”

4.”Innocent people have gone to jail for ******* because the real explanation for why someone ***** was so rare and infrequent that courts didn’t believe those explanations as plausible. Two cases off the top of my head:

Similarly, “Patricia Stallings was

of ******* after the ****** of her son in 1989. Because testing seemed to indicate an elevated level of ethylene glycol in Ryan’s blood, authorities suspected antifreeze poisoning, and they arrested Stallings the next day.

She was convicted in 1991. In jail, she had another baby, diagnosed with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), a rare genetic disorder that can mimic antifreeze poisoning.”

5.”Laughing to ******. Fifty-year-old Alex Mitchell could not stop laughing for a continuous 25-minute *******—almost the entire length of a TV show called Kung *** Kapers and suffered a fatal heart ******* as a result of the strain placed on his heart. Alex’s widow later sent The Goodies, who were staring in that show, a letter thanking them for making his final moments so pleasant.”

9.”I used to work with a man who had an older relative come to the hospital with symptoms suggesting a *******, and he ***** later that evening. I don’t remember all the details, but everyone thought the family might be sitting on a big **** lawsuit until the labs all came back. The relative had a type of leukemia that is diagnosed about 10 times a year in the US, and they’ve never come up with a chemotherapy protocol for it because nobody has ever lived long enough for them to do so.”
