Ask a Question

It was once said that there were two things in the world that couldn't be avoided - death and taxes! And whilst dying is a serious business, this is a seriously funny book listing some of the most incredulous ways some people have shuffled off this mortal coil!

The woman who drank herself to death with water trying to win a games console by holding in her wee… the mechanic who blew himself up while trying to open a rocket-propelled grenade with a sledgehammer… a lottery winner killed by the gates of his new luxury home… a woman felled forever by a fatal falling lettuce… an octogenarian who met his maker while riding a shopping trolley… a German artist crushed by one of his own sculptures called ‘Woman with Four Breasts’… the convicted murderer who electrocuted himself on the toilet as he repaired a TV – all true reports from across the globe which reveal the silliest ways you can meet your maker. Death may seem like a serious business, but this is a seriously funny book.
