Some of these deaths are so ridiculous and ironic, you may not even believe that they could possibly be true! Let me assure you, however, these are all real events that took place and these people really did meet these terrible fates.

1. Segway to death

Segways were all the rage a few years ago. For those of you living under a rock, Segways are the self-balancing electric scooters that are steered by tilting your weight. They have been labeled the 'green future' by the company and are still used today notoriously by security guards in America.

Their apparent ease of use and validity came to a bit of dramatic halt in 2010, when the owner of the company, Jimi Heseiden, was testing out a new model on his grounds. He lost control of the vehicle (it is still unknown whether it was a mechanical error or fault of the driver) but somehow, Heseiden managed to drive it straight off a cliff and plunged to his death. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

2. Literally died laughing

Pietro Aretino, an Italian author was known for his saucy humor aimed at the aristocrats. Aretino was never one to shy away from a naughty story.

One day, he was told a particularly dirty one about his sisters and the brothel they worked in. Instead of getting offended, Aretino found this hilarious. He was in a fit of hysterics and wouldn't stop laughing. Finally, he collapsedbackwards in his chair, dying from suffocation as he hit the ground. He literally laughed himself to death. Wouldn't you like to know what the joke was?

3. Shock of her life

Fagilyu Mukhametzyanov was wrongly declared dead by doctors. As mourning relatives filed past her open coffin, the supposedly dead woman suddenly woke up and started screaming as she realised where she was.

She suffered a heart attack caused by the shock and was immediately rushed back to the hospital but only lived for another 12 minutes in intensive care before she died again, this time for good.
