Back when I was working my lunch crowd used to have a "Stupid Ways To Die" contest. This would consist of reading the papers every day to see if someone could beat the current champion.
This fellow was champ for a very long time. As I recall he was de-throned by an old guy in Rochester, NY who was found on his screened in front porch with his ass stuck in a garbage can. Police theorized that he fell backwards into the can and could not build up enough momentum to free himself by tipping it over. He died of exposure.
A postman reported seeing the old guy waving so he waved back. The postman was quoted as saying that "he felt real bad about what happened."
