DESCRIPTION:

From grisly murders to unusual funerals, Dreadful Fates takes you on a gruesome journey through history to find out about people who have had the misfortune to suffer a dreadful or unusual end. From ancient times to the present day, readers can find out about everything from Aeschylus, the ancient Greek who died when a tortoise fell on his head, and the man who tripped over his own beard, to a countless number who met their end through laughing too much! Other unfortunate ends include: - The Mexican musician who choked to death on the world's smallest mouth organ. - The Holy Crusader who stopped for a drink in a river but fell in due to the weight of his armour and drowned. - The actress whose costume caught fire on a Civil War movie set when a careless crew member threw away the match used to light his cigarette. - The entire football team killed by lightning during a match because of the metal studs in their boots. - The actor who died between scenes during a live television play: the director continued the play, improvising around the absence of one of the cast members.
