1. Isadora Duncan in 1927 had a long scarf wrapped around her neck, the scarf got caught in the wheel and broke her neck!
2. Marcus Garvey read a mistaken obituary about himself in 1940, the shock caused him to suffer a stroke, he then died as a result.
3. Gary Hoy 1993 died after throwing himself at a glass window to prove the glass was unbreakable…to be fair the glass didn’t break, it just fell out of the frame.

5. A man was severely injured when the balcony he was stood on collapsed to ground level.

9. A woman decorating a bathroom when the floorboards collapsed leaving her top half stuck in the bathroom with her legs through the living room below, she was stuck for some hours before the fire brigade came to her rescue.
