Which was the worst (real life) way to go?

Don't tempt fate....

Dying doing something you love, or believe in is one thing, but to be forced by threat of death to do something you don't believe in, then to be threatened again by people who don't believe you, and in the end, be killed anyway....Man! Talk about injustice! This guy had to have some REALLY sticky karma to pay off.

Timothy Treadwell was an idiot who deluded himself into thinking he had a "connection" with grizzly bears. He said he was "becoming" a bear by living with them so closely. I watched "Grizzly Man", and at the end, I was really rooting for the bear.

It's called "use a dummy", DUMMY~ LoL

He brought that upon himself...

That was a really bad idea!

they're all terrible but i pick this one.

24 stories to think about how much of an idiot you are!

What a terrible and tragic way to go................

ouch thats gotta hurt

No matter how you go or I go I just hope to be in a state of grace!

i pick that beacuse i dont fel like reading all of the above!

The torture before the bomb went off seems to be the cruelest of your selections. The others seemed to go pretty quickly in comparison.
Imagine the fear in that man waiting and the police (supposed to be public servants) not believing him or helping him.

WELCOME TO AMERICA!!

I can't even imagine how painful his death was....poor man!

Matthew Shephard was killed in a drug deal gone wrong.

I know it's a cause celebre for the gay rights crowd but even the district attorney who prosecuted his murderers says this is the case:

I understand what you are saying.

This, to me, is more terrifying than being attacked by a bear.

that would suck picture it u r studying grizzly bears when all of a sudden a bear eats u

I've been quite intrigued/obsessed with the "collarbomber" case. It's so odd, it could be a movie plot. There's a website run by Mr Wells' family that goes into more detail...

this was a very hard one...but had to be prejudice here & pick brandon lee as we named our son after him who is just of 14 years old. brandon & bruce's deaths were apparently from a curse put on their family many years earlier.

that was the sadest of them all!

The Bruce Lee thing - You can't die from excess use of cannabis. You'll pass out before you can smoke too much.


No one has ever died of a marijuana overdose
"This is true. It was put in to see if you are paying attention. Animal tests have revealed that extremely high doses of cannabinoids are needed to have lethal effect. This has led scientists to conclude that the ratio of the amount of cannabinoids necessary to get a person intoxicated (i.e., stoned) relative to the amount necessary to kill them is 1 to 40,000. In other words, to overdose, you would have to consume 40,000 times as much marijuana as you needed to get stoned. In contrast, the ratio for alcohol varies between 1 to 4 and 1 to 10. It is easy to see how upwards of 5000 people die from alcohol overdoses every year and no one EVER dies of marijuana overdoses. "

If you can die from drinking water, I do believe it is possible to die from an overdose of cannabis.

Sure. If you're so talented that you can smoke it or eat it while you're passed out.

WHEEEE!!!!!! OHSHI-

I know it's cruel, but I love when that happens.

(Unless they're married to the person they're having sex with)

I would also say that having a bomb strapped around neck would be a tie with the grizzly killing.

Followed by the runner.

Those two died doing their job, of unforseeable causes. The

Environmentalist was an idiot. (But I repeat myself)

Steve Irwin dodged the bullet alot of times. Love him, but it was past due IMHO.

Harrison died of stupidity. As did Garry Hoy.

Gen. Patton died of an unforseen accident, but a common way of dying.

Felix Faur died of likewise, common causes (Over 50, having sex, cardio problems)

Bruce Lee died of the least known causes, so I can't really say on him.

Brian Wells is an honorable mention and likely had the most fear involved, but involuntary suicide bombs have been used in movies and real life. (Swordfish, Iraq) His death was instant.

Well Mac, the point was not about your opinion of the people but your opinion OF the Worse Real Life Way to Go...........Personally, being killed by a gun doesn't seem so bad as compared to being eaten by a bear, or blown up by a bomb. Doesn't matter what kind of people any of them were. It's the WAY they died.

The way they got into the circumstance would also play a part then.

The one I picked had the maximum amount of input into their methods, yet did not know it. The fact that the unknown can do such a thing is in fact something I find to be both awesome and terrible.

I stick with my post. Thanks for your input.

It seems most of these people died doing the things they loved. Garry Hoy Had a few sweconds of horror watching the ground come up to meet him. Brian Wells comes next in my opinion, because he was telling the police about the bomb and they didn't believe him.

Good points you made on falling through the window, Dave S.

Ugh, that would suck if it happened to me.
poor guy.

i think you forgot old age.

Now that IS gruesome Poacher ! LOL !

That might hurt being eaten to death, alive....

nom, nom, nom.....

Yeah, that would be terrifying, WhiteC.
