Death Wish: 5 Most Hardcore Ways to
Die
By PPcorn - Dec 8, 2015
Not all ways to
die are created equal. The life (and
death) stories of these five people detail the five most hardcore
ways to die ever recorded in history. Forget old age, forget
overdosing – these people killed it – literally.
Number Five:
Empedocles. Ancient Greek
philosopher Empedocles decided one day that he wanted to become a
deity. To accomplish his goal, he threw himself into an active
volcano, hoping that being melted by molten lava would make him one
of the gods. Little did he know that he would just burn alive, but
he would be remembered forever for the way he went out.
Number Four: JG
Parry-Thomas. Racecar driver JG
Parry-Thomas wasn’t happy with his run trying to break a world
record, so he decided to try again. However, on his next try, an
exposed chain that connected the engine to the drive wheels broke,
resulting in his partial decapitation. However, he did break the
record, so…worth it?
Number Three: Thich Quang
Duc. Thich Quang Duc is
infamous for his political statement, which he made by committing
suicide in public. To protest the president at the time, who
oppressed his Buddhist religion, Duc poured gasoline all over
himself and lit himself on fire. Burning alive is one of the most
painful ways to die, so we can’t imagine this was very
pleasant.
Number Two: Audrey
Mestre. Audrey Mestre and her
husband were both freediving champions, and Audrey had an
especially competitive nature. In an effort to beat her husband’s
record, Audrey free dove 561 feet down into the ocean without
oxygen. Unfortunately, though she beat his record, she lost
consciousness on the way up and emerged already dead.
Number One: Sergey
Tuganov. Sergey Tuganov
literally died of excitement. Two of his female friends teased him
by betting him that he couldn’t last in a 12-hour long orgy with
the two of them. He agreed to the bet, but first he ingested an
entire bottle of Viagra. He ended up winning the bet, but right
afterward his heart gave out, and he died of heart
failure. Men, take this as a fair warning!
