BUXTON, N.C. A man died on a beach when an 8-foot-deep hole
he had dug into the sand caved in as he sat inside
it. Beachgoers said Daniel Jones, 21, dug the hole for fun,
or protection from the wind, and had been sitting in a beach
chair at the bottom Thursday afternoon when it collapsed,
burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach on
the Outer Banks used their hands and
shovels, trying to claw their way to Jones, a resident of
Woodbridge, Va., but could not reach him. It took
rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free
him while about 200 people looked on. Jones was pronounced
dead at a hospital. You just wouldn't believe the outpouring
of concern, people digging with
their hands, using pails from kids," Dare County Sheriff
Bert Austin said.

In February, Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed in Lompoc,
Calif., as he fell face-first through the ceiling of a
bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused
when the large flashlight he had placed in his mouth (to
keep his hands free) crammed against the base of
his skull as he hit the floor.
----
According to police in Dahlonega, Ga., ROTC cadet Nick
Berrena, 20, was stabbed to death in January by fellow
cadet Jeffrey Hoffman, 23, who was trying to prove that a
knife could not penetrate the flak vest Berrena was
wearing.
------
Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed in February in
Selbyville, Del., as he won a bet with friends who said he
would not put a revolver loaded with four bullets
into his mouth and pull the trigger.
------
In February, according to police in Windsor, Ont., Daniel
Kolta, 27, and Randy Taylor, 33, died in a head-on
collision, thus earning a tie in the game of chicken they
were playing with their snowmobiles.
-------
In October, a 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who
"totally zoned when he ran," according to his wife,
accidentally jogged off of a 200-foot-high cliff on
his daily run.
--------
In September in Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and
drowned in two feet

of water after squeezing headfirst
through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his
car keys.

--------------------------------

In September, a 7-year-old boy fell off a 100-foot-high
bluff near Ozark, Ark., after he lost his grip swinging
on a cross that marked the spot where another person
had fallen to his death in 1990.
