Victorian man bled to death after accidentally cutting his throat with a broken dinner plate, ambulance paramedics say.
The bizarre accident occurred about 6.10pm yesterday, when the 57-year-old Point Lonsdale man finished dinner and was taking the leftovers outside to give to his dog, the Geelong Advertiser reported.
The man fell while carrying food on a bowl or plate, said Rural Ambulance spokesperson Jessica Li.
"The bowl shattered and somehow cut him across the neck," Ms Li said.
"It's horrible. What are the chances the plate is going to break and you are going to fall on it that way?"
The man was unconscious when paramedics arrived, and they were unable to revive him, said Ms Li.
She said he bled to death.
"I know it was family members that called triple-zero and I'm sure they were trying to do what they could, but once we arrived there was nothing we could do," she said.

...Karma got sloppy?
Jeez... talk about luck.
Thats why my mummy only gives me polystyrene plates? 
Well that sucks.
It’s almost like something you would see from a movie such as Final Destination
Yikes. Really bad luck. I saw a show once where a guy tripped over his glass coffee table and nearly decapitated himself. Amazing they were able to patch him up though.
This kinna storey reminds me of one my mom told me years ago, it was somehting she had read in a news paper.
A man had just came home from the army, there waiting for him was his wife and lil girl.
As the helicopter landed and the door opened, his lil girl ran striaght over and into her daddys arms.
He was so glad to see her, then stood tickling and throwing her up and down giving her a fit of the giggles, then suddenely without thinking and caught up in the joy of his lil girl welcoming him home, he threw her a lil too high and the propellers of the helicopter had cut the lil girl into pieces
Shocking but true!!

Poor guy..... and a plate, what are the odds.
And what was the dog doing? The dog should have barked, I guess it was eating.
