Strange Deaths - Steve Moore

Firemen tackling a forest fire in the south of France called in special flying boat that sucked up water from the Mediterranean and dropped it on the blazing trees.
The next day, while sifting through the embers, rescue crews came across the body of a man who had been killed not by fire but by falling from a great height. At the inquest, it was observed that the victim was wearing swimming trunks, snorkel and flippers.
DYING IS AN ART, wrote the poet Sylvia Plath... and she was right. Many deaths are truly theatrical. Others owe more to low comedy and the macabre prank.
Culled from the pages of Fortean Times magazine, The Book of Strange Deaths draws on the world's greatest archive of the bizarre. It contains a plethora of fully documented tales covering some of the most outlandish, tragi-comic, freakish or just plain unlucky deaths that have ever puzzled the police or raised eyebrows at an inquest.
