The Dead Thread 2024

Irio Tommasini, 91. One of the last of the old, traditional Italian bike makers.

Not sure how much he built by himself, but his company was renowned for building not only great riding bikes, but works of beauty as well. I've always wanted to own one.

The joke writes itself, but I’ll refrain. Liam Payne, 31, of One Direction, fell from a third floor hotel balcony in Argentina.

Will 3 floors always do it? Did he land on concrete? Or on his neck?

Seems like 30 feet should mess you up but killing you?

4 feet can be lethal. 30' is like getting hit by a locomotive doing 30 mph. Universal, no. But if you fall backwards, no idea if that's what happened, yeah, that's probably universal unless you're Simone Biles.

And people have lived falling from higher distances. (I actually know someone who did.)
 
The Antara News Agency in Indonesia reported that 36-year-old Giulia Manfrini was surfing in the waters of Masokut Island in the Mentawai Islands, just off the west coast of Sumatra, when she was stabbed by the bill of a swordfish.
