People die every single day, that is a simple fact of life that no one can escape; no matter what. However, everyone dies a little bit differently, and some people just so happen to die in the weirdest ways possible. Did you truly ever consider someone passing away by being belly slammed? Or perhaps being killed by sheep is more your style? In any case, if you can imagine it, then someone probably has already perished in that manner sometime in history. Here are ten of the weirdest ways people have died.

Belly Slam

British pro wrestler Mal “King Kong” Kirk, while facing off against his opponent, Shirley “Big Daddy” Crabtree, was killed underneath of Crabtree. Big Daddy’s signature wrestling move was the “belly slam,” which crushed Kirk to death.

Pizza deliveryman Brian Wells was pulled over by the police in the middle of a bank robbery, but no one believed his story that he was forced to commit the crime. The young man had a bomb attached to his neck, but the bomb squad did not show up in time.

Bookcase

Sheep

In 1999, Betty Stobbs, of Durham, England, brought a batch of hay to a flock of sheep on her motorcycle. The sheep, before she could remove the hay, charged her bike, knocking her into a ravine. The bike landed on top of her, killing her instantly.
