This book makes up a collection of cautionary tales about the undignified ways you can kick the bucket – and they're all true!

The vegetarian who was killed with a frozen leg of lamb, the cyclist who swallowed his own dentures and the burglar who fell head-first into a toilet and drowned... These are just a few of the true reports which reveal some of the silliest ways a whole host of unlucky people have bought the farm.

Hundreds of factual accounts of bizarre, amazing and sometimes downright dumb ways to meet your maker are amassed in this book.
