We are all going to meet our end in one way or another. Many of us have no idea how or when. We can play it safe by trying to plan, predict and protect ourselves until we’re literally blue in the face. But sometimes, the Grim Reaper catches us off guard with their dark and twisted sense of humor.
People have gone to the grave in the most unexpected ways. From the founder of The North Face clothing who suffered hypothermia, to someone who drowned at a lifeguard party to celebrate a year of no drownings, their endings prove that life has the ability to deliver the most brutally ironic punchline imaginable.
Bored Panda has compiled a somewhat morbid but fascinating list of ways that irony sent people six feet under. Many might have you gasping for air, while you silently mutter, “You couldn’t make that up if you tried.” May these tales be a not-so-gentle reminder to live each moment like it’s your last because tragedy doesn’t exempt itself from poetic timing.

Any Covid-denier who died of the virus.
Most people meet their maker because of non-communicable diseases like heart disease, stroke, respiratory complications or cancer. But every now and again, the Grim Reaper decides to switch things up with their dark sense of humor.
We can lead healthy lives, live with extreme caution and even try to plot and predict our demise. No matter what we do, just living poses some kind of risk. That's not to say we should be paranoid... just more aware.
Many people live in fear of losing their life in a car accident, violence or even a plane crash. But according to data, your odds of kicking the bucket because of an accidental opioid overdose are greater than having a fatal motor-vehicle crash.

There was this other would-be bomber who was going to blow up... I think it was a stadium, via a 💣 vest activated by an attached phone, when the co-conspirator would text the phone. However, as the phone was brand new, just as she was leaving the house it got an automated text saying "welcome to Telstra" or whatever and BOOM. That was the end of her and nobody else was harmed.

The National Safety Council (NSC) reveals that while many Americans fear gun violence, they're much more likely to land in the grave because of an unintentional and preventable injury like slipping or falling down the stairs.
There's also a greater chance of you drowning in a bathtub than drowning in a flood. If you have a fear of flying, rest assured that the chances of not making it to the tarmac alive are super slim. In fact, so slim that there were too few fatalities in 2023 for the NSC to calculate the odds of it happening to you.

It's long been said that prevention is better than cure. And since someone loses their life every two minutes in America because of something that could have been prevented, it pays to take it seriously.
The United States recorded almost 223,000 preventable fatalities in 2023 alone, prompting experts at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to publish the most common injuries they see, along with some practical advice for how to avoid them.

Thomas Midgley Jr invented leaded petrol (which lowered the iq of about half of US adults), and then went on to invent CFCs (which helped deplete the ozone). He is estimated to have changed our atmosphere more than any single organism in history.

Gaddafi. For sure! A few months before his death he threatened to hunt down the protestors street by street, house by house, like rats. And in the end he was found hiding in a sewer drain and was k****d by them.
According to those experts, falling to your demise is one of your biggest risks, especially among older Americans.
“Fall prevention starts by taking care of yourself,” says Holly Waller, senior director of Trauma, Burn and Inpatient Wound Services at UAB Hospital. “Ensure you are staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet and staying active so you can continue improving your balance and strength and lower your risk of falling.”

There was a news story a couple of years ago about a guy that died in a motorcycle accident riding in a rally against helmet laws. If he had been wearing a helmet, he likely would have survived.
Waller advises that you avoid using loose rugs at home, install safety bars in bathrooms and near stairs, and always make sure pathways are clear of items that could cause anyone to trip. It also helps for the elderly or vulnerable to wear shoes, no-slip socks and/or assistive devices like a cane or walker if needed.

Jerome Moody. He drowned during a party for New Orleans lifeguards. Many of the people in attendance were professional lifeguards, and four guards were on duty. To make matters worse, the party was in celebration of the New Orleans Recreational Department’s first drowning-free swimming season in recorded history.
Another big risk is burns, especially in the winter months because of space heaters, heated blankets, bonfires or fireplaces.
"Space heaters should always be placed on a hard, flat surface at least 3 feet away from loose items such as curtains, furniture and clothing," warns the UAB site, adding that you shouldn't use these heaters near flammable liquids or chemicals. The expert also advises that space heaters be turned off when not in use and always be plugged directly into a wall, not an extension cord.

John Sedgwick: Major General in the Union Army during the American Civil War
Sedgwick died at the beginning of the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, on May 9, 1864. He noticed his men diving for cover, despite the Confederates shooting from 1,000 yards away. He said, "Why are you dodging like this? They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance."
He was shot by a rifle bullet moments later under the left eye and died.
When it comes to electric blankets, you might be surprised to know that it is not advisable for older adults or people with diabetes to use them. This is because of the thinning of their skin and the loss of sensation and nerve damage in their extremities.
"Heated blankets should be rolled up to prevent damage and checked regularly for damage to the cord or heating elements," cautions the site. "Unplug heated blankets before going to sleep or when they are not in use, and do not layer these devices with other heating products."

I’m not sure about ironic but strangely poetic, and probably the best way this person could have died…
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote a profound book about a pilot who crashes his plane into the desert and makes the acquaintance of a blond little boy from the stars who loved a rose and is forever saddened when the boy returns to his home planet. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, a pilot himself, later vanished without a trace while he was flying his plane ~~over the Sahara Desert~~. I choose to believe that the aviator was finally able to see his friend…
I think in recent years they actually found the wreckage of his plane, but still; you can’t tell me that death isn’t the most perfect way for him to have died… it’s just so unbelievably poetic. Obviously it probably sucked for him though.

Okay, I know of a YouTube sensation from Mexico, he was known as "El Canaca." So this guy was being filmed by the news as he was pulled over by the cops for drinking and driving. As the reporter asks him "Why is he drinking and driving, when he is putting patrons life at risk." He justifies by saying "That he has not crashed yet."
One year later he was ran over by a woman who was drinking and driving.
We don't need to highlight the dangers of firearms, but most people become complacent with their own weapons. According to Dr. Jeffrey D. Kerby, director of the UAB Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, firearms are a leading cause of preventable fatalities and injuries in the USA. He adds that proper handling and safe storage of firearms is crucial in changing this.

There are old warriors and bold warriors but there are very few bold old warriors. ~ many versions from many cultures
If you own one, or there is one in your home, always assume it is loaded, keep your fingers away from the trigger, ensure the firearm is pointing in a safe direction (meaning a bullet can't strike anyone or ricochet off any surrounding surfaces), check all chambers before cleaning, and always store the firearm safely and securely when not in use.
“Keep firearms out of sight and out of reach of children,” warns Kerby. “Firearms should be unloaded and stored in a secure gun safe with a child-resistant lock. Ammunition should be stored in a separate locked container. This will decrease the chance of children accidentally harming themselves.”

Very surprised no one has mentioned **Joseph Stalin** yet!
After returning home from an all night movie and drinking binge, Stalin gives his guards strict orders not to disturb him. He doesn't get up at his usual 10am, but his guard are waaaay too afraid of him to go check. 12 hours later, he's discovered by his Deputy Commandant lying on his back, having suffered a stroke. He lay there for the entire day, helpless, alone, and in agony. If doctors had helped him in time, he might have lived long enough to nuke us in the cuban missile crisis. Who knows?
TL;DR Stalin's guard are too afraid to disobey him - he dies a horrible, agonizing death because of it.

Sad irony from “The Day the Music Died” Waylon Jennings jokingly told Buddy Holly “I hope your plane crashes” and then it did k*****g Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P. Richardson and their pilot.
Nicole Weymann 1 day ago
More than sad irony: Jennings gave up his seat on the ill-fated flight in 1959 that crashed and k****d Holly, J. P. "the Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens (Wiki). [...] Following the Clear Lake show (which ended around midnight), Allsup lost a coin toss and gave up his seat on the charter plane to Ritchie Valens, while Jennings voluntarily gave up his seat to J. P. Richardson, known as the Big Bopper, who was suffering from the flu and complaining about how cold and uncomfortable the tour bus was for a man of his size. When Holly learned that his bandmates had given up their seats on the plane and had chosen to take the bus rather than fly, a friendly banter between Holly and Jennings ensued, and it would come back to haunt Jennings for decades to follow: Holly jokingly told Jennings, "Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up!" Jennings jokingly replied, "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes!"[

In 564 BC, Arrichion the Wrestler became the only person to win the Olympic gold by dying. Arrichion was a superstar of his age, a wrestling god who went from victory to victory. But one day in the Olympic finals, he finally met his match. Arrichion found himself caught in a deadly ladder hold, a choke move that completely prevented him from breathing. He was out of options: If he wouldn’t submit, he’d asphyxiate. Clearly, the only reasonable thing to do was to submit and suffer a loss. However, Arrichion opted for the unreasonable and, in fact, unbelievable. Inspired by the shouts of his coach (who probably didn’t realize how dire the situation was), the wrestler rolled into an even more painful position, thus gaining access to the opponent’s foot. This brave move ended up k*****g him, but he was able to twist the other wrestler’s foot so painfully that he submitted at the exact same moment Arrichion’s life left him. Arrichion had won the Olympic gold, and all it cost him was his life.

Edward A. Murphy Jr.
Murphy's law was: "If anything can go wrong, it will go wrong".
How Mr. Murphy died:
One dark evening (in the U.S.), Mr. Murphy's car ran out of gas. As he hitchhiked to a gas station, while facing traffic and wearing white, so he could see every car approaching on his side of the road, he was struck from behind by a British tourist who was driving on the wrong side of the road.
Now that, I call irony.

Murphy's Law was named for USAF Capt. Ed Murphy. This was during the early days of research into manned space flight and pilot medical issues during high acceleration, part of which was Col. John Stapp's rides on a rocket sled. Murphy was part of the team building and instrumenting the sled, which required numerous accelerometers to be mounted and wired. One unnamed technician kept getting the accelerometers wrong. Murphy observed, "If there is any way to do it wrong, he will', and later, when talking to a reporter, attributed the success of the test to the diligence with which they double-checked *everything*. The reporter recounted the incident and gave that quote from Murphy as 'Murphy's Law', and the rest was history.

On March 23, 1994, a medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a gunshot wound of the head caused by a s*****n. Investigation to that point had revealed that the decedent had jumped from the top of a ten-story building with the intent to commit s*****e. (He left a note indicating his despondency.) As he passed the 9th floor on the way down, his life was interrupted by a s*****n blast through a window, k*****g him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the decedent was aware that a safety net had been erected at the 8th floor level to protect some window washers, and that the decedent would most likely not have been able to complete his intent to commit s*****e because of this.
Ordinarily, a person who starts into motion the events with a s*****e intent ultimately commits s*****e even though the mechanism might be not what he intended. That he was shot on the way to certain death nine stories below probably would not change his mode of death from s*****e to homicide, but the fact that his s*****e intent would not have been achieved under any circumstance caused the medical examiner to feel that he had homicide on his hands.
Further investigation led to the discovery that the room on the 9th floor from whence the s*****n blast emanated was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. He was threatening her with the s*****n because of an interspousal spat and became so upset that he could not hold the s*****n straight. Therefore, when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife, and the pellets went through the window, striking the decedent.
When one intends to k**l subject A but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the m****r of subject B. The old man was confronted with this conclusion, but both he and his wife were adamant in stating that neither knew that the s*****n was loaded. It was the longtime habit of the old man to threaten his wife with an unloaded s*****n. He had no intent to m****r her; therefore, the k*****g of the decedent appeared then to be accident. That is, the gun had been accidentally loaded.
But further investigation turned up a witness that their son was seen loading the s*****n approximately six weeks prior to the fatal accident. That investigation showed that the mother (the old lady) had cut off her son's financial support, and her son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the s*****n threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that the father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes one of m****r on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus.
Now comes the exquisite twist. Further investigation revealed that the son, Ronald Opus himself, had become increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to get his mother m******d. This led him to jump off the ten-story building on March 23, only to be k****d by a s*****n blast through a 9th story window.
The medical examiner closed the case as a s*****e.

Read this article a while ago, I'll try to find it again.
A boy jumped from a window as a s*****e,, but was shot on the way down. He landed in a net that would have saved his life had he not been shot.
The man who shot him was actually aiming for his wife a couple stories below, but missed, and the bullet went out the window as the boy went by. Apparently, the man with the gun used to threaten his wife with an unloaded gun whenever they fought, and somehow the gun was loaded.
As if that wasn't ironic enough, it turns out that the boy was the son of the man with the gun. He was just recently cut off financially by his mother so, knowing his fathers tendency to threaten her, loaded the gun in hopes that he would shoot her.
After his mother still being alive for some time, and his life going downhill rapidly, he decided to take his own life.
After much debate on who was to blame, it was ruled a s*****e, because the boy jumped, and even though he would have lived, he was the one who loaded the gun that k****d him.

I do wish whoever nicked these lists from Reddit at least did the bare minimum amount of work to ensure that there weren't dozens of repeats and several instances where the same person/situation is mentioned 3 or 4 times XD I know the "writer" wants to plump up the article, and make it seem beefy, but come on. BARE MINIMUM of reading the list you're stealing content from to ensure that you aren't putting in 10 instances of the same comment about the same Union Army general getting shót in the eyeball during the American Civil War XD

And the original article from reddit was titled "...real or fictional" and apparently that little tidbit didn't make into the BP title.

Here's a thought 🤔...if you are presenting an article about death perhaps NOT censoring words like: k i l l, s h o t, b o m b, etc. And not listing so many repeats.

No references to the Oceangate Titan submersible taking out the idiot CEO who thought 'safety' was an unnecessary expenditure of time, effort, and money?
