Sometimes, watching films with an exciting plot, viewers are surprised at the fantasies of the scriptwriters. They often "force" the heroes to die by an incredible coincidence. However, this is not what happens in real life. This review contains the most ridiculous deaths of famous people.
Aeschylus
The ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus is called the father of European tragedy. He died at the age of 69. Judging by the surviving chronicles, he died of … a tortoise. The eagle grabbed the reptile, lifted it into the sky and threw it on the stones to break the shell. Turtle He threw the turtle down. She fell directly on Aeschylus's head.
Alan Pinkerton
In the second half of the 19th century, all newspapers followed the activities of detective Alan Pinkerton. He brilliantly uncovered conspiracies and found criminals. One day Mr. Pinkerton was walking down the street and stumbled and bit his tongue. This small wound led to the fact that the detective died suddenly of gangrene.
Isadora Duncan
The beautiful, innovative dancer loved spectacular appearances and goodbyes. Fate played a cruel joke on her for this. Isadora Duncan was in Nice on September 14, 1927. She was going to take a walk around the city. The woman put on her favorite long red scarf, got into the car and shouted the words: “Goodbye, friends! I'm going to glory! After that, the car started off. Suddenly the end of the scarf wrapped around the axle of the wheel, becoming a noose for Isadora.
Harry Houdini
One day, three students approached the famous illusionist Harry Houdini. One of them asked if he could be punched in the stomach to be sure of the magician's steel press. Houdini was thinking about something at that moment and automatically nodded in response. When the student punched the illusionist in the stomach, he did not expect a blow at all. Immediately, he strained his abs again and took two more blows. The students left happy, but for Houdini the missed blow was fatal. He provoked a rupture of the appendix and the ensuing peritonitis. There were no antibiotics then, and the Great Houdini died.
Anatoly Romashin
The Soviet and Russian actor Anatoly Vladimirovich Romashin was at the dacha on the day of his death. He decided to cut a pine tree. When the deed was almost done, the actor did not calculate exactly where the tree should fall. Unfortunately, it fell in the direction where Romashin was standing, and he was crushed.
Brandon Lee
Brandon Lee had a hard time making his way to Hollywood, because at first everyone perceived him only as the son of the famous star Bruce Lee. When fame finally came to the actor, the irreparable happened. In 1993, Brandon Lee worked on the film The Raven. During one of the scenes, Michael Massy, who played the main character's antagonist, shot the actor with a revolver. There was a plug in the barrel of the weapon that no one noticed. At the moment of the shot, she wounded Brandon in the stomach. Extensive hemorrhage did not allow doctors to return the actor from the afterlife.
In the family's photo archive Bruce Lee has preserved many pictures in which the happy family is still fully assembled.
