  because he had no money to buy alcohol, mixed gasoline with milk.  Not

  house.The resulting explosion and fire burned his house down, killing

  A 34 yr. old white male found dead in the basement of his home died of
  suffocation, police said. He was approximately 6'2" and 225lb. He was
  wearing a pleated skirt, white bra, black and white saddle shoes and a
  woman's wig. It appeared that he was trying to create a schoolgirl's
  uniform look. He was also wearing a military gas mask that had the filter
  canister removed and a rubber hose attached in its place. The other end of the
  hose  was connected to a hollow wooden section of bedpost approximately 12
  inches long and 3 inches in diameter. This bedpost was inserted into his rear
  end  for reasons unknown and was the cause of  his  suffocation. Police
  found the  task of explaining the circumstances of  his death to his family
  members  very awkward".

  Three Brazilian men were flying in a light aircraft at low altitude
  when  another plane approached. It appears they decided to "moon" the
  occupants of the other plane, but lost control of the plane and crashed.  They
  were all found dead in the wreckage with their pants around their ankles.

  A police officer in Ohio responded to a call that was made to 911.
  She had  no details before arriving except that someone was reporting that his
  father was not breathing. Upon arrival, the officer found the man face
  down  on the couch, naked. When she rolled him over to check for a pulse
  and to  start CPR if necessary, she noticed burn marks around his genitals.
  After  the ambulance arrived and removed the man (who turned out to be dead
  on  arrival at hospital), the police made a closer inspection of  the
  couch, and  noticed that the man had made a hole between the cushions.  Upon
  flipping  the couch over they discovered what caused his death. Apparently the
  man had  a habit of putting his penis between the cushions, down into the hole
  and  between two electric sanders (with the sandpaper removed for obvious
  reasons). According to the story, after his orgasm the... ahem...
  discharge  shorted out one of the sanders,  electrocuting  him to death.

  Several years ago, in a west Texas town, employees in a medium-sized
  warehouse noticed the smell of a gas leak.  Sensibly, management
  evacuated  the building, extinguishing all potential sources of ignition -
  lights,  power, etc. After the building had been evacuated, two technicians
  from the  gas company were dispatched. Upon entering the building, they found
  they had difficulty navigating in the dark. To their frustration, none  of
  the lights worked. Witnesses later described the vision of one of the
  technicians reaching into his pocket, and retrieving an object that
  resembled a lighter. Upon operation of the lighter-like object, the
  gas  in  the warehouse exploded, sending pieces of it up to three  miles away.
  Nothing was found of the technicians, but the lighter was virtually
  untouched by the explosion. The technician that was suspected of
  causing the explosion had never been thought of as "bright" by his  peers.
