Product Overview

Dark humor about those who have removed themselves from the gene pool

An original and irreverent compendium of accidental deaths caused by astonishing stupidity, embarrassing irony and/or really bad luck, in the tradition of The Darwin Awards. Author Cynthia Ceilan includes details about:

*the hospital in India that faced a strange epidemic when patients kept dying
on Fridays and then discovered the weekly housekeeper was disconnecting
life support systems in order to plug in her vacuum cleaner

*Conqueror Attila the Hun, who died of a nosebleed on his wedding night

*Jean-Louis Toubon, who choked to death on his girlfriends edible panties

*and many more!
