libstaK Posted December 21, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 21, 2012 As far as deaths go this is a good one imo - blissfully oblivious and ignorant of his impending demise, just going about his business as best as his alcohol fueled addled brain would allow till the final second when he is reaching his hand up to get something from a kitchen cupboard........ Sad for his family and loved ones but glad there was no suffering in it for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted December 21, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Head injuries are scary. Should always be careful if you hit your head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonecrusher Posted December 21, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Tbh,it's not as surprising as it looks. There's many ways where you can die standing up. What about all the poor sods at the Hillsborough disaster. And you can actually stand still if somebody or something impales you. If there's nowhere for the body to drop it's not rocket science to work out the rest. I don't think rigor mortis is a possible explanation for this. Even though it stiffens the body.

Definitely!!! If he was a fun guy then he would probably get a kick out of dying like that. I know I would but I'd want to make it even more bizarre, maybe add some dramatic music and pyrotechnics...

Chooky88 Posted December 23, 2012 #20 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I'd be interested to see a photo. On one site I saw a video of a kid who zapped himself messing about with a fuse box at his college. He died standing up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeder Posted December 23, 2012 Author #22 Share Posted December 23, 2012 There's no shocking images allowed on here, Chooky! If you google, "dead guy standing"... a serious story of a guy who wanted to be standing up at his own wake is easily found.. I dont know why but that story does give me the creeps... nothing scary is to be seen, its just...I dunno...weird.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
