Cade e muore per controllare la sua tomba in costruzione
Un uomo di 63 anni è morto cadendo nella tomba che si stava facendo 
costruire. Approfittando che gli operai non erano all'opera e i custodi del 
cimitero in vacanza, Giovanni Vittorio Greco, pensionato di Lascari, in 
provincia di Palermo, sabato è salito su una scala a pioli per controllare 
che i lavori al sepolcro da lui commissionato fossero eseguiti a regola 
d'arte. Ma ha perso l'equilibrio ed è caduto a terra battendo la testa contro 
un marmo.
La morte è stata immediata. La notizia è pubblicata stamattina su alcuni 
quotidiani siciliani. (red)

Non mi sembra appropriato. Vedo l'ironia della situazione, ma non la
stupidità colposa. Io candiderei piuttosto il ragazzino che ha scavato
un tunnel sotto una enorme collina di sabbia ed è rimasto soffocato
quando gli è crollata addosso...

Si, dirottiamo sul caso da te segnalato. (certo che anche sto tipo che se l'è

Ormai bisogna candidarlo al 2003 ma ci sono poche speranze visto che il
candidato vittima di un suicidio^Wincidente simile non ha vinto.
Per la cronaca il vincitore di quest'anno è:
PADERBORN, GERMANY Overzealous zoo keeper Friedrich Riesfeldt fed
his constipated elephant Stefan 22 doses of animal laxative and
more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged
up pachyderm finally let it fly, and suffocated the keeper under
200 pounds of poop!  Investigators say ill fated Friedrich, 46,
was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when
the relieved beast unloaded on him. "The sheer force of the elephant's
unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground, where
he struck his head on a rock and lay unconscious as the elephant
continued to evacuate his bowels on top of  him," said flabbergasted
Paderborn police detective Erik Dern. "With no one there to help
him, he lay under all that dung for at least an hour before a
watchman came along, and during that time he suffocated. It seems
to be just one of those freak accidents that happen."

Faulty Aim Fatal
2002 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
(7 March 2002, Colorado) When Gerald was pulled over by police for
erratic driving, he decided it was better to flee from the stolen car on
foot, rather than face possible jail time for a parole violation. This
was the first of two successive mental lapses. Gerald’s actual thoughts
are unknown, but *may* have been something like this: "The officers are
only suspicious and alert now... I’ll make them hot, sweaty, tired, and
angry by leading them on a wild chase through dark alleys and fields."
During the subsequent foot chase, Gerald attempted to dissuade officers
from the pursuit by firing a 9mm Ruger semiautomatic handgun blindly
over his shoulder. This was the second illustration of a potential
mental deficiency. "Officers are running behind me. They have guns. I
have a gun! They have eyes in the front of their heads, so they can see
to aim at me. I don't have eyes in the back of my head, so I’ll fire
wildly behind me and see what happens!"
Unfortunately, Gerald appears to have been one of those folks who can't
chew gum and walk at the same time. Or at least he couldn’t flee and
fire at the same time. While discharging the weapon over his shoulder,
Gerald managed to shoot himself in the head with his own gun, bringing
the chase to a sudden conclusion.
Four shots were fired, none by the officers, who found Gerald's pistol
next to his fallen body. Gerald was transported to a local hospital
where he expired the following day, thus removing a set of genes
deficient in both judgment and coordination from the gene pool.

Wounded Wire Bites Back
2002 Darwin Award Nominee
Confirmed True by Darwin
(14 February 2002, Pennsylvania) Daniel and his friend were practicing
their marksmanship by shooting at targets in a farm field. But instead
of the usual choices of mice, bottles, or birds, they selected a more
worthy adversary: electrical insulators.
These pear-shaped glass or plastic devices are intended to hold
electrical wires aloft. But after the men shot six insulators off two
utility poles, the shattered targets were no longer up to the job. A
high-voltage wire fell to the ground and Daniel, attempting to prevent a
serious fire, seized the sizzling wire in his hand, and was
electrocuted.
An Allegheny Power spokesman advised people not to shoot at electrical
insulators.

        Man's Visit to His Future Grave Kills Him
        Wed Sep 4, 9:16 AM ET
        LASCARI, Sicily (Reuters) - Giovanni Greco sent himself, literally,
        to an early grave.
        Greco, 63, was so keen that his future mausoleum would be a
        perfect fit that he liked to visit it ensure the builders were
        making it just right.
        But his latest visit proved to be his last.
        According to local media reports, Greco was making his regular
        trip to the construction site in the small cemetery in his
        hometown of Lascari at the weekend.
        He climbed a ladder to get a better view of the top of the
        mausoleum when he slipped, hit his head on a marble step, and
        fell into his own tomb.
