Some funny and unfortunate deaths. These are fact not fiction, they come from a factual book, not a website!

Aeschylus:
This man died in 456 BC after an eagle dropped a tortoise on his head. Unlucky!
Jerome Cardan:
He died in 1576 after starving himself to death to make sure his own prediction of his own death would come true.
Jean Baptiste Lully
This composer died in 1687 after accidentally stabbing himself with a baton while keeping time. This is why we now have a short conductor's baton.

At least this guy died happy, he died in 1660 by laughing to much when told of the restoration of King Charles II.
