“Garden of Death”: When neighborhood dogs threatened a gardener’s plants, he decided to build an electric fence. Unfortunately, he forgot to include an energiser, a unit which makes flow of electricity intermittent. So when the gardner accidentally grabbed hold of his fence, the constant current made his muscles unable to let go and the constant voltage killed him.
“Homeowner With A Shotgun”: A retired engineer sought to keep his
house safe by creating 19 booby traps on all three stories of his house, all of which were connected to shotguns. Unfortunately, 19 proved too many to keep track of. He literally triggered his own death by tripping one hidden in his crockery dish.
“Unlocking Death”: A saleswoman on the road returns to her hotel after a

“Overheated”: A retired teacher was such a do-it-yourself kind of guy that he made his own sauna. It worked well, heating the inside to over 80 C, but when the door handle broke off, both he and his wife where trapped inside. The elevated temperatures also elevated his heart heat, causing him to experience terminal cardiac arrest.
“Electric Justice”: In the early 1900s, Charles Justice was jailed for
attempted murder in the Ohio Penitentiary. As he served his sentence he also served as custodian for the death chamber, where he made an innovation to their electric chair, replacing the leather straps with metal clasps. Eleven years later, Justice was convicted of murder and died in that very same chair.
“Microwaved!”: An amateur repairman tried to fix his own microwave.
Although he took the precaution of unplugging it first, he was not aware that the machine’s capacitor continued to hold a charge even after it was
unplugged. When his metal screwdriver touched the capacitor, approximately 2000 volts went through him and stopped his heart.

“New York Sucks”: Three New York City workers were assigned the task of clearing debris from a 50 cm drainpipe in a reservoir. One of the workers stood in the three-foot deep water and steadied their boat, while another used a pole to unblock the drain. But clearing the blockage created a vortex that sucked a city worker 200 feet down the pipe, to his death.
“Steamed in New York”: Thinking she was perfectly safe, a young woman took a mid-afternoon nap in her third-story apartment. Outside her window, workers struggled to fix a leak in the kilometres of steam pipes buried beneath New York City. But a worker’s oversight created a steam explosion that threw mud and boulders 18 stories into the air and through the young woman’s bedroom window.
“The Electric Dog Walker”: A graduate student walked her dogs down a
New York Street. Slush and snow covered the lid of a utility box buried in the street, which faulty wiring had electrified. Her dogs stepped on it and as the graduate student rushed to help, she also received a constant shot of 57 volts, which killed her.

“Ra, Ra, Rasputin”: Rasputin, a self-proclaimed mystic with strong ties to
the Russian royal family, proved surprisingly hard to kill. His enemies first fed him potassium cyanide, to little effect. He was then shot, but was later found crawling through a courtyard, where he was shot again and then bludgeoned to death.
“The Leaping Dancer”: Isadora Duncan, known as the queen of modern
dance, was riding in a sports car. She wore a long silk scarf, which was her trademark. Unfortunately, her choice of fashion would prove fatal when the scarf got caught in the open spokes of the car’s wheels and strangled her.
