These are granted for most stupid deaths. Check these :
1.The two 28-year-old men, reportedly experienced in their
work, fell 100 feet after drilling a hole through thick
concrete without realizing they were standing in the center
of the circle.

"Derek" was watching a television marathon on a Christmas
Eve a few years ago. At around 4 am, the television stopped
working. He concluded that it was a problem with his
satellite on the roof. He fetched a ladder and set it
against his roof. At 4 am, however, it is still very dark
and nearly impossible to see so our hero climbed onto his
roof with a flashlight in one hand and a screwdriver in the
other. One should realize that in the winter months at
night, surfaces get iced over and very slippery. Derek
didn't want his feet to get cold, so he had donned socks for
the adventure. While trying to figure out what was wrong
with the satellite, Derek dropped his flashlight and it
rolled off the roof. In an attempt to stop his light from
falling, Derek lunged for it. He missed and slipped on the
slick ice that had accumulated on the roof. He fell off the
slanted roof and landed on his back. Just when he thought
things couldn't get any worse, the screwdriver plunged into
his thigh. Nobody found Derek for several hours, lying
half-naked in his backyard.
Derek suffered a concussion and required surgery to repair
his thigh.

Regarding the television, he'd accidently sat on the remote
and switched it to VCR mode.

23-year-old Benjamin lost his life in one of the most
unappetizing manners possible when he careened into a
400,000-gallon tank of raw sewage on Friday night. Police
speculated that he was driving his 1998 Mazda pickup much
too fast to make the sharp right turn in front of the
wastewater treatment plant. He was apparently exceeding the
speed limit by a generous margin, as his momentum carried
him through a chain link fence, across an easement, and
through a low post-and-rail fence surrounding the tank of
decomposing sewage. Divers located his body beside his
upright pickup on the bottom of the 16-foot deep tank. The
autopsy failed to provide a conclusive cause for death

Andrew and his fiancée were living together with his three
children and her three children in Dover Township, when an
argument over chocolate cake icing erupted.

Andrew accused his ten-year-old son of taking the missing
container, and the two became embroiled in a heated
disagreement. Andrew took the boy out to the garage for a
private discussion, and there the conversation became even
more emotional. Then the man made his fatal mistake.

He handed a five-inch kitchen knife to his angry son, and
challenged the boy to stab him if he hated him so much. The
boy put the knife down, but Andrew picked it up and placed
it in his hand again. In the heat of the moment the outraged
boy took him up on the offer and plunged the knife into his
chest. The deadly blow happened so fast that no one could
stop it.

Andrew was pronounced dead at Community Medical Center. His
last words were "Would you believe the kid did that?"

Patricia and her boyfriend had been drinking and smoking
marijuana, when they decided to enjoy the fresh air on the
roof of the King Charles Inn. They climbed over a guard rail
with pillows and blankets, and fell asleep under the stars.
Sound asleep, apparently. Patricia slid off the roof and
fell to her death on Hasell Street shortly before dawn on
Sunday. When police arrived at the scene, the boyfriend was
found still sleeping on the roof, curled up in a blanket and
pillow.

A 36-year-old biochemist who was dying to see the legendary
rock band KISS on their farewell tour got his wish. Shawn
traveled from Calistoga to the Oakland Coliseum, and was
enjoying the show, except for one little problem. He was
dissatisfied with his seat in the top row of the stadium. He
climbed a 7-foot wall to gain a better view of the stage -
only to inadvertently discover a new seat three stories
below.
The group he had traveled to the concert with had no idea he
was missing, until the show ended and the police began
asking questions. That's when they learned that Shawn had
mistaken a curtain for a solid wall, leaned back, and fallen
to his death on an escalator 100 feet below.

A police spokesman said the site of the accident was "a good
place to obtain a better view."

At work, Manoel Messias Batista Coelho was responsible for
cleaning out the storage tanks of gasoline tanker trucks. He
had been employed in that capacity for two months when he
ran afoul of fuel.
The 35-year-old began to fill a tanker with water, a
standard safety procedure that forces flammable vapor out of
the container. He returned an hour later to check whether
the water level was high enough to proceed. But he had
trouble deciding, because it was so DARK inside the tanker.


A resourceful employee, Manoel forgot the very reason why he
was filling the tank with water when he lit a cigarette
lighter to shed some light on the situation. His little test
successfully determined that the water level was NOT yet
high enough for safety. The vapor explosion launched him
through the air, and he landed in the company parking lot
100 meters away.

(3 March 2002, Sheffield, England)
As Kim Fontana, 32, and Paul Cowley, 40, left the pub, they
noticed that a streetlight was burned out, creating an
attractive pool of darkness on the road. Unable to rein in
their passion, they began to canoodle on the asphalt outside
the pub.

Witnesses said the couple was lying right on the white line,
kissing and cuddling. The passionate pair were warned of the
danger of their chosen position not once, not twice, but
three times -- by a car driver, a bus driver, and a
pedestrian.

An off-duty paramedic honked three times and shouted, "You
want to get up, or otherwise you’ll be run over." The man
simply said "Cheers, mate," and the paramedic heard a female
voice laughing. A bus driver swerved to avoid them, and
drove past with wheels on the curb. A concerned pedestrian
shouted to warn them that another bus was headed their way.


Despite these disruptions, Kim and Paul continued, oblivious
to the approach of a small, single-decker Nipper bus. The
bus driver mistook the undulating shape for a bag of rubbish
in the poorly lit street, and was unable to stop in time.
There was a dull thud...

Kim and Paul were struck and killed at midnight. Paramedics
found Kim lying on her back with her jumper pulled up, and
Paul between her legs with his trousers pulled down.

Ignoring Coast Guard warnings, David Manley ventured onto
the icy surface of Saginaw Bay with his pickup truck one
chilly morning. Predictably, the vehicle broke through the
ice, but the 41-year-old managed to avert tragedy and escape
from the sinking truck. He reached the shore wet and cold,
but alive.
Despite his traumatic experience, and despite a day of
sunshine and warm temperatures in the 60s, David returned to
Saginaw Bay late the following night. This time he was
driving an all-terrain vehicle, and accompanied by a friend.
Surprise! The ATV also plunged through the ice.

His companion survived, but David had used up his luck. His
body was recovered by the Coast Guard southwest of the
Channel Islands.

Three men wielding knives tried to rob a slaughterhouse. But
when it comes to hand to hand combat with sharp blades,
butchers working in a slaughterhouse are more than a match
for your average thief. They stabbed two of the intruders to
death. The third man escaped from the angry butchers and
fled in his car.
Police soon spotted him, and after a brief car chase, the
would-be thief pulled over and leapt from his vehicle. But
instead of fleeing into the underbrush, he tried to dodge
heavy traffic and escape across the highway. Perhaps he
thought that threatening butchers with knives was not a
sufficient demonstration of his intelligence.

Within seconds, the natural justice system meted out his
punishment in the form of a large truck, which struck and
killed him.

A man was found lying facedown, covered in mud and blood,
the apparent the victim of a street crime in Dili, the
capital of East Timor. It was not until a post mortem
examination was conducted that U.N. police were able to
reconstruct his last moments. This up-and-coming young man
decided that it was cool to shove his weapons, two long
knives, down the waistband of his trousers. Unsheathed. The
hapless fellow jumped over a small fence and landed in a
large puddle of mud. He slipped, which sent the blade of his
"trouser knife" into his leg, severing his femoral artery.
He bled to death before he could stagger ten feet from the
puddle.

(April 2003, London, England)
A train passenger who was in the habit of triggering the
emergency alarm so he could get out at an "unscheduled stop"
on the busy London network, was hit and killed when he
disembarked onto the track in front of an oncoming train.
