The most unusual deaths: TOP-33 © 2012

Death is something that no one has ever been able to avoid. All living things die sooner or later, the only difference is in the circumstances.

Many people believe that the most terrible phenomenon is death itself. But the pages of human history tell us that the death throes can be much more terrible than death itself. To convince you of this, we suggest reading a selection of the most terrible and painful deaths in history.

The most painful human deaths in history

Death of Joram

The Bible is full of stories not only about love and kindness, but also about justice, which is often cruel. One of these is the parable of Jehoram. According to legend, he was once the ruler of Judea and considered Beelzebub the main deity, which aroused the wrath of Yahweh. Joram was severely punished: he was struck by a strange disease, from which his flesh began to decay from the inside. Before he died, the king suffered for 2 years.

How Herod was punished

Another biblical creepy story dedicated to King Herod, who ruled Caesarea in Palestine. The name of Herod is well known to everyone who has read New Testament- It was he who, having learned about the impending birth of the true king of Judea, ordered the destruction of all the newborns of Bethlehem. Subsequently, he organized the persecution of the first Christians, executed John the Baptist and the Apostle James. The Bible lists Herod's cause of death as being eaten alive by worms.

Murder of Grigory Rasputin

Many close to the court were wary of the mysterious friend of Nicholas II - there were rumors that Rasputin was an insidious sorcerer associated with black magic. Less superstitious courtiers saw him as a dangerous political rival who had too much influence on the emperor.

On December 29, 1916, Prince Felix Yusupov invited Rasputin to dinner, during which he treated the guest to poisoned wine. The poison did not work, then the conspirators, the prince and his accomplice Vladimir Purishkevich, shot him in the back.

The killers thought that Gregory was dead and carried him out of the palace. But he unexpectedly not only showed signs of life, but also began to strangle one of the conspirators. Then another bullet was fired at Rasputin, but after that he did not die, but tried to escape. They caught up with him, beat him, and then threw him, still alive, into the icy waters of the Moika.

Total for dead body The emperor's favorite was found to have three wounds, all fatal: to the head, kidney and liver.

Doctors managed to pump him out until the 61st day arrived, which brought Syauti the long-awaited deliverance. Willy-nilly, you will think about legalizing euthanasia.

The Tragedy of Deborah Gayle Stone

Many people are afraid of rides, and for good reason. Ignoring safety rules often leads to disastrous consequences.

In 1974, American Disneyland delighted visitors with a new attraction - the “America Sings” attraction. It was one of the first entertainments using animatronics, in other words, singing and dancing robots.

The attraction created a sensation: from the first minutes of the working day until the park closed, dozens of people crowded around the robots. But for some reason, 18-year-old Disneyland employee Deborah Stone was frightened by these “electronics” - she could not explain the reason for her strange phobia, but every time she ran past them, she felt uneasy.

And as luck would have it, she was appointed the caretaker of this attraction! And so, before the start of the next performance, she was instructed to check the rotating mechanism. The girl got stuck in the hole, and then the show began. The robots began to sing, the stage began to rotate, and the girl found herself ground into bloody pieces between the rotating part and the stationary concrete wall. While she uttered inhuman screams of pain, visitors thought it was part of the performance.

David Kirwan and the thermal springs

In 1981, David Kirwan was walking through Yellowstone National Park with his bosom friend and his dog. The purpose of the visit was typical - young people wanted to see the beauty thermal springs, for which this beautiful reserve is famous.

Everything was going well until the pet, breaking off the leash, jumped into the water. David decided to save his friend's dog and went into the pool, instantly realizing what a stupid thing he had done.

A small note: Yellowstone is at the same time one of the most beautiful and dangerous places on our planet. Prohibition signs are posted throughout the park - going down to the natural pools may be the last thing an unlucky visitor to Yellowstone will do in his life. The fact is that in some springs in the park, the water temperature can reach up to 121 degrees Celsius and have extremely high acidity.

With difficulty, David got out of the water, receiving a burn on 90% of the surface of his body. When the owner of the dog, whose body never surfaced, took off the shoes of the scalded rescuer, pieces of the skin were torn off along with them. The next day, David died from painful shock.

Execution of György Dozsa

The Inquisition, wars, and diseases left a terrible mark on the history of the Middle Ages. There were many terrible deaths at that time, but the mention of one of them still makes the blood run cold. It's about about the execution of György Dozsa.

Gyorgy Dozsa led a peasant uprising in Hungary. It was quickly suppressed, after which its wounded leader was captured by the government. So that other peasants would no longer have the thought of rebelling against the feudal lords, the most severe execution was invented for Gyorgy Dozsa.

The leader of the uprising wanted to become king of Hungary. To cause him not only physical pain, but also to ridicule his hopes, György was seated on a metal throne with a hearth hidden inside, handing him a scepter and an orb that were as hot as the seat. A red-hot crown was placed on the head of the leader of the uprising.

Then Brother György and those who took part in the riot with him were brought into the hall. The brother was publicly cut into pieces, and like-minded rebels suffering from a long hunger strike were forced to bite off the flesh of the still living Doji in a circle. “Eat it whole and you will live,” they were promised. Everyone who refused to eat human flesh was killed. Those who agreed to cannibalism too, but only after Dozha was eaten.

The Torment of Junku Furuta

Human cruelty towards one's own kind often knows no bounds. And, unfortunately, references to terrible torture and murder are not only associated with the Middle Ages.

In 1988, 17-year-old Japanese girl Junka Furuta was kidnapped by a group of sadistic minors: Hiroshi Miyano, Jo Ogura, Shinji Minato and Yasushi Watanabe. They held the girl captive for 44 days in the house of one of the gang members.

Miyano's parents were big shots in the Japanese Yakuza mafia, so young man It was not difficult to intimidate the girl and his own friends. Under threat of death, she called her parents and told them that she was fine so that the police would not look for her.

On the very first day of her captivity, she was raped repeatedly, forced to eat insects and drink urine, smoldering cigarettes were stuck into her flesh and the girl was set on fire with a lighter.

On the eleventh day, her limbs were broken and she was hung from the ceiling, using the girl’s body as a punching bag. She tried to escape, but the escape failed, for which her legs were doused with firelighting fluid and set on fire. Furuta was then tortured by having a broken bottle inserted into his anus.

On the twentieth day, firecrackers were shoved into the girl, and then red-hot knitting needles.

A month of imprisonment passed, and the bored rapists came up with new methods of torture. The unfortunate Japanese woman was doused with hot wax on her face, her breasts were pierced with needles, her nipples were pinched in a vice, while at the same time a light bulb was shoved inside the girl.

On the forty-fourth day, Junku Furuta died from painful shock after two hours of torture by fire. The next day, the teenagers cemented the girl's body in a barrel and threw it away at a construction site.

The police managed to find the body and the killers. But the punishment did not correspond to the crime - the attackers were sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 4 to 17 years, depending on the degree of guilt. According to the law on the protection of the rights of minors, their names were not publicly disclosed. Hiroshi Miyano, the leader of a gang of sadists, was released in 2007.

Fatal Christmas

On Christmas Eve 2002, 25-year-old bartender Doyle decided to celebrate the holiday with his friend Michael Wright and his girlfriend. In an alcoholic fervor, Wright thought that Doyle was harassing his girlfriend and beat the poor man. He broke the bartender's legs and threw him into an open hatch. The distance to the bottom was about 5.5 meters.

Wright wanted to scare Doyle, but did not suspect that the bottom of the sewer was flooded with boiling water from a broken pipe. The bartender fell into boiling water with a temperature of 150 degrees Celsius, and his injuries prevented him from getting out. He was still alive when help arrived, but neither firefighters nor paramedics dared to go down.

Having opened the guy's body, doctors noted that he looked like a lobster cooked by a chef - the internal organs were boiled, and the skin came off the bones. The worst thing is that while his body was being boiled alive, Doyle remained conscious.

20. 2001. Gregory Biggs - death by nurse

A truly horrific death befell homeless man Gregory Biggs from Texas in 2001. On his way home, he was hit by a drunk and drugged-up Chante Jawan Mallard. Gregory's body flew into the windshield, broke and got stuck there.

The driver, a former nurse, however, was not brought to her senses by the tragedy and she simply, as if nothing had happened, drove home to the garage with the body of the unfortunate man sticking out in the windshield. Without bothering to call for help, she simply went to have sex with her boyfriend. She later reported that she apologized several times to the dying man, but it didn’t occur to her to help him. Considering that the man's injuries were serious but not fatal, it is quite plausible that he died within a few hours. Her friend found the dead body early in the morning, and the court sent Mallard herself to fifty years in a place not so remote.

Several generations of people have already grown up with the idea that nature (our mother) should be protected. We cut down virgin forests, kill animals for fun and food - well, what good is this! Organizations like Greenpeace are even willing to commit murder just to leave our little brothers a little more time on this planet.

The funny thing is that all this is completely wrong. Nature does not need human protection at all. The planet lived without us and will live without us, perfectly digesting all the toxic and other wastes of civilization. We are fighting for our existence as a species, and to think otherwise is simply stupid. Don't believe me? Here are just a few of the terrible opportunities to meet our forefathers that Nature has carefully prepared for us.

Cassowary attack

Imagine, you suddenly meet a bird slowly emerging from the thickets, more like a modern replica of a dinosaur. She looks at you without stopping and - damn, maybe she should be fed? As if having heard these thoughts, the bird tilts its head to the side and you think that you simply have to throw something tasty to this handsome guy. But instead of standing quietly and waiting for handouts, the cassowary (meet the future dead man - the cassowary, the cassowary is your victim) rushes towards you at the speed of a locomotive. Locomotive with claws. A couple of blows are guaranteed to sever several major arteries - and now you are dying peacefully in a pool of your own blood, under the attentive gaze of this feathered velociraptor.

Meeting with a bear

In fact, it is quite rare for bears to attack people - but it does happen. You won’t be able to run away from an angry and hungry animal: it clearly has more strength and agility (there was no point in spending so much time in front of the TV). The bear crushes you under itself, mercilessly tearing off your skin with huge, crooked and blunt claws. You'll be lucky if the creature decides to bite its throat right away - comparatively easy death. Otherwise, the animal may well begin to bite you, not paying attention to the screams. And you will scream for a long time!

Swimming with an octopus

You decide to touch this cute bluish octopus you met in the depths. One touch - and then you notice a small drop of blood on your hand. Congratulations: the blue-ringed octopus, whose venom is 1,000 times more dangerous than cyanide, has just given you its mark. Over the next few minutes, your mouth goes dry. The face and tongue go numb. The ambulance doctors cannot understand what is happening. You lose control of your body, but you are still conscious. The neurotoxin causes complete paralysis, but until a fatal spasm seizes your throat muscles, you will have another 15 minutes. Think about the eternal. There's nothing more to talk about.

Walk with a snail

The beach is littered with shells, but you decide to pick the prettiest one - its smoky, rusty cone looks just cool. Put the cone in your pocket and start praying almost immediately. You are lucky to pick up a sea cone - the most poisonous snail on the planet. The sting site looks like a bee sting, no big deal. But the leg hurts more and more and... what is this, blood? My head starts to hurt. Vomiting makes it impossible to breathe. The poison blocks the central nervous system, which leads to paralysis. But there is also good news: You still have almost a day before death. A day during which consciousness will be locked in a paralyzed body. Days of fear and pain. An eternity of loneliness.

Flying with a bee

Death begins with a quiet rumble. One more bite. You look up - damn it, hive! Attracted by the pheromones of the first stings, the bees rush to attack. The lethal dose of poison for an adult is only 500 bites. Up to several million bees live in one hive. Hospital. Doctors are doing everything possible and - lo and behold! - put you on your feet. The end of the adventure? Hardly. Within a week, the remaining poison will dissolve the blood cells, filling the body with toxins, which are usually eliminated by the kidneys. But not at this time. Your kidneys simply can't handle the load and you'll die of kidney failure before you even know what the hell is going on.
