The thing that keeps being left out of the Houndini death is, he had a stunt where he would tighten his abdominal muscles until they were rock hard, and invite people to hit him as hard as they could. The time that caused Houndini's death he didn't have time to tighten his abdominal muscles.
He Caterpied when he should have Metapodded
Buzzfeed Unsolved covered his death in one of their episodes.
They primary conclude it was the appendix that did him in, not helped by his arrogance, rather than the punch. It was a random freak of a series of circumstances, but people are still worried it was an assassination since he was against the Spiritualist Movement, which had a lot of powerful and influential people.
Still, as far as they can conclude, based on evidence available, it was his health, nothing more.
11:22 "3:30 AM" showing, but the narrator says 3:30 PM
It was the punch that killed him it had nothing to do with relaxing his muscles it was an appendix rupture thanks to the punch not thanks to him relaxing his stomach muscles
Everyone knows his name is Hoodini
“John Denver crashed due to a fuel tank valve mounted in a dumb location. He ran out of fuel and when he turned to activate the valve he pressed the controls forward putting the airplane in an uncontrolled dive with no power to regain altitude”. -my professional pilot husband
This non-professional pilot agrees with your husband. That Rutan airplane was poorly built, with a fuel-tank valve mounted behind the pilot's shoulder. It's natural to push with your opposite foot to turn around in your seat, which is exactly what my step-father did once in my airplane. He was in the right seat, and turned to his left to talk to my mom in the back seat. He pushed with his right leg to turn himself, which caused the plane's nose to yaw to the right. I had my feet on the rudder pedals and countered the force as best I could, but step-dad had his knee locked my then. I had to use left aileron to keep us from spinning in, which naturally had the cabin at a Dutch angle. As my mother yelled at me (thinking I was goofing around), I was pounding on step-dad's right thigh, telling him to for God's sake lift his right foot! He finally did, I neutralized the controls, and we completed the flight uneventfully.
It amazed me how oblivious my step-dad was to what he was doing. I guess he was moving his head enough that he didn't notice the plane lurching around.
It only takes a split-second of uncorrected rudder to send a plane into a wing-over stall. Recovery requires (among other things) pushing forward on the yoke when all your instincts are screaming at you to pull back and raise the nose. So even if there is ample altitude to recover, many fail to do so.
I must've missed that part in the NTSB report. Maybe I scanned it too fast, but I know his mom sued the plane company and won, based on that faulty valve. From what I understand, his children received the money. Weird thing is, in the report it just said "...the pilot, an entertainer,...." I don't think they mentioned his actual name.
@@just_kos99 my husband is a professional pilot and he told me about it in detail as he learned about it in his flight school in the navy. From what hubs said apparently Denver’s pilot’s license was suspended too for DUI. But the fuel valve was mounted behind his head “such a dumb place to put something so important! Any who hubs said hi as do I and we hope you have a great evening!
@@just_kos99 The suit was settled without fault, which is common practice in the aviation industry since they can be sued by anyone for anything. With experimental aircraft, the manufacturer is the builder and there is not a practical way to enforce any design or production lawsuit. Denver was an experienced pilot, but he did not familiarize himself with the aircraft enough to be comfortable with the fuel selector location, besides being unlicensed at the time also due to his own behavior.
He also should have refueled the plane, but didnt
Actually, with Jon-Erik Hexum, the gun was *not* loaded with a bullet, but with a standard blank. The force of the blank, when fired point-blank-metal-to-skin, still delivers enough force to be fatal. One of my first teenage TV-star crushes. The man was beautiful.
Correct. 👍 I was going to make this correction but I see you caught this mistake also.
Blanks do shoot something out of them it's just rarely lethal at distance.
The gun had a squib in the barrel. The squib was from a rubber round that got lodged in the barrel. When they fired the blank it launched the squib out of the barrel killing Jon-Erik Hexum. Rubber bullet stuck in barrel + blank = somewhat of an actual bullet
@@gostjason1735 That was Brandon Lee on the set of The Crow that got shot with the squib not John-Eric Hexum. John-Eric Hexum was playing Russian roulette with a blank. He stated it in this video but I remember both incidents though I looked it up anyway to be sure.
His replacement Anthony Hamilton also died fairly young at 42 from AIDS.
Steve Irwin's death saved a life. Shortly after his death, another man was stung in the same way. Knowing what happened to Steve, the stinger was not removed immediately. It was left until he made it to the hospital.
Steve Irwin also picked up that stingray and attempted to lift it out of the water. That's why it stung him
I agree that Irwin probably wouldn't want any resentment held towards what happened. He knew what he was doing, and the risks involved. And while he obviously wouldn't have wanted to die that way, I imagine his knowledge and experience was always ready for that possibility on some level.
The thing is he would have likely survived if the people who fished him out didn't pull out the barb that had pierced his heart.
@@funnyblog100 Which I assume were not the paramedics.
I remember when it happened, but never really looked into the details aside from him being stabbed by a manta.
@@gurvmlk Mantas don't have stingers. It was a stingray.
@@solaris9426 Yeah, that. Mantas are just the default that come to my mind when I think of rays.
@@funnyblog100 I don't know about that. He was over an hour away from proper medical help. Maybe he would have survived or maybe he would have died faster as those barbs have a tendency to keep digging deeper until removed. For what it's worth it was Steve that wanted it removed. Sure he's not a doctor but he would have known what happens with those barbs.
13:24 these pranks are ridiculous. There was a case here in the US, the Tim Wilks case, where a 20-year young man tried a similar prank and approached a family with small children to “rob them” at knife point. In Tennessee. Where slightly over half of all residents have permits to carry concealed weapons.
His last words were literally “It’s a prank, brah.”
I feel awful for his family, and for the man who shot him, for the children who witnessed the whole thing, and for everyone involved. It just didn’t need to happen.
Actually, with brandon lee, the gun was not loaded with a bullet, but with a standard blank but there was a slug that was jammed in the barrel of the gun that was pushed due to the force of the blank
I don't think it was a jammed slug, but simply debris from previous rounds that was dislodged and propelled by the discharge. Normally jammed rounds will cause a catastrophic failure if another round is fired behind it, although I'm not sure about a blank. EIther way, it's why it's important to inspect and clean the barrel periodically.
@@WaterCrane To the best of my knowledge, they used fake cartridges without powder or primer, but with a bullet in it for closeups where they had to show bullets in the gun. Carbon buildup in the ends of the chamber from blank firing caused one of the bullets to unseat from the case and was left in the chamber, it went unnoticed when they loaded blanks.
@@cojones8518 True, it went un noticed because the armourer had gone home because of a late shoot. Tragic.
Hmmm new fear unlocked.....
Random eagles dropping random animals on my head cause they think I'm a rock 😂😂
You'll be fine as long as you're not bald.
Easy mistake, tbf.
15:16 it is believed Steve pulled the barb out which caused him to bleed more
I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer. The fact that Steve Jobs had a good chance of surviving it by using modern medicine and eschewed it until it was too late…,it’s just one of the most profoundly dumb things I’ve ever heard.
Lost a relative to that. The changes of surviving is very low even with modern medicine so Jobs would most likely be dead if he hadn’t waited 9 months
I find it quite apropos.
@@markengle2199 Huh? Was that a typo by you, or did you misunderstand his cancer? His particular sub-variant was a trivial case of cancer. It was nothing serious
@@markengle2199 The largest factor in pancreatic cancer mortality is detection. It's typically found late after it has already metastasized because it doesn't really have any unique symptoms.
Steve Jobs was extremely arrogant and a thief. I didn’t find this out until he died.
If I recall correctly, Aeschylus changed drama forever. Before Aeschylus, plays were the characters separating themselves from the rest of the chorus and presenting a monologue or interacting with the chorus. Aeschylus introduced characters within the play talking to each other.
RFK quoted Aeschylus to a crowd in breaking the news to them that MLK was assassinated.

John Denver's death was caused by a design flaw in the plane. The lever to switch the fuel tanks was located behind the pilot's shoulder. When Denver turned to turn the lever, his body pressed the yoke forward, throwing the plane into an unrecoverable dive.
Now that song is back in my head again! "Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die"
"She was uncomfortable with smoking." I got a bad feeling she said as much and the smoker thought throwing the match in her direction would be funny but it unintentionally actually hit her.
Licensed or not, John Denver was quite an accomplished pilot. His father, who was a USAF test pilot, taught him to fly his Leer jet. The experimental plane he was flying had just been purchased, and he had two independent mechanics check it out. Problem was, the cockpit of the plane wasn't designed very well. While holding the stick with one hand, the pilot had to reach behind himself to switch the fuel tanks over so it was very awkward. A teacher who witnessed the whole thing (not knowing who the pilot was) said the engine started sputtering and smoking, and they suspect the carb had lost the proper air/fuel mix. The witness said the pilot deliberately flew over Monterey Bay 'cause he knew he was going to crash. It was a nice early evening on October 12 and a lot of kids were outside playing. John may've delayed too long to switch tanks, but at least he may've saved many lives by not crashing into someone's neighborhood. (Interestingly enough, earlier that day he'd gone golfing with Clint Eastwood and some others, told them he was going to go play 'with my new toy' that afternoon.) Sorry so long!
It's not too long! It's an important detail! Thank you for mentioning it!
It must ve embarrassing to some of these celebs that they'll be more known for their way of death rather than who they were
"Enormous red scarf" ... Wait, so that whole "NO CAPES" thing from The Incredibles was real o.o
📏 "NO CAPES!"
The world truly lost a treasure when it lost Steve Irwin... He had a beautiful family and was a great guy. I hope he rests in peace.
He was an overrated hack. All he did was walk into a roomful of genuinely smart people, say "I want socks that pull themselves up," leave the room, and when _they_ created socks that pulled themselves up, he'd go out on stage and take credit for it. He died because he believed in witch doctors. Some genius.
The music stopping suddenly gave me chills
@10:02, it's like with Terry Kath, who was the guitarist for the band Chicago.
Kath was also an avid gun collector, but his last words were "What do you think I'm gonna do? Blow my brains out?" before he accidentally shot himself in the head, dying instantly.
RIP Steve Irwin, loved that guy as a kid, he was inspirational to so many growing up by seeing someone interacting with nature in the wild.
Irwin's death was classified as a "freak accident", not to be categorized as "dumb way to die". It was very likely Irwin was caught off-guard by the stingray's sudden behavior and could not avoid the barbs. Irwin was remarkably careful when dealing with dangerous animals at all time.
You must be Aussie
Messing with something dangerous that then kills you is not a "freak accident", especially when it comes to unpredictable animals. A "freak accident" would be if the stingray were dropped by an eagle, randomly fell on Steve while he was out on a hike, and then stung and killed him.
Going into the water for animals is just dumb little bro. He’s lucky he survived that long. Rip
It's not a freak accident. It's a dumb way to die. I'm a medic and just about anyone in his field should know not to pull the stinger out. He is only the third person to be killed by a stingray, because they are not deadly, but massive blood loss is! If he went straight to a hospital he would have lived, and he wasn't just a random tourist, this is something he should have been aware of, and if he never received first aid training before the risks he took, he should have had a standby medic
There's no excuse for Irwin being out there with no one informing him of potential dangers and how to handle them, or a trained medic, every location and animal he is filming. The network should have enforced this safety precaution. It's not a freak accident and just being dumb if a man who spends decades filming up close with potentially dangerous animals had absolutely no knowledge of the very basics of what to do if something happened. Only three people died from stingrays not because of freak accidents but human error. I am a medic and instructor and assure you, if he left the stinger in, even if he was far from help, he would be fine if he left it in until a trauma surgeon removes it and stops the bleeding. If he were idk an accountant on vacation, it might not be dumb, but Steve of all people should have known how to handle the situation or atleast had someone with him who does, given the obvious risks he takes and the length of his career
John Denver died in an experimental, or homebuilt airplane. The airplane had 2 fuel tanks and a fuel selector that controlled which tank the engine was drawing from. You could only draw fuel from one tank at a time. He was running low on fuel while in the traffic pattern (right near the airport and coming in for landing) and reached behind him to flip the fuel selector. He couldnt reach it and stepped on the rudder pedals for leverage, which inadvertently rolled his airplane over and into the ground. This is what is widely believed to be the truth of what happened to him at least.
Edit: He also had a pilot's certificate, but not a medical. His medical was revoked due to his history of driving under the influence.
Sorry but not Sorry. Totally disagree with John Denver's death being categorized as dumb because of "no license" to fly. It'd been one thing if he was flying a Boeing 747 or something. But he was flying basically a puddle jumper. If anything the plane itself that he was flying would make better sense in categorizing his death as dumb.
Irwin died the way he lived: With animals in his heart.
Ahh ha! I see what you did there.
These videos keep me sane in the busy hospital healthcare career field
Aeschylus might have been killed by a falling tortoise, but it likely wasn't delivered by a *bald* eagle, since he was in Europe. I'd guess it would most probably have been a golden eagle (such as I once saw on TV dropping a turtle in Greece), though there are other less-famous species in those parts.
Quite right... a Lammergeier would be the most likely suspect by quite a way; usually they drop bones, but tortoises are well documented. Glad someone else noticed this part of the video!
He died an eagleterrapin death in the end.
Listen again. It was Aeschylus who was bald - not the eagle.
@@SpeckleKen --Which didn't prevent the animators from depicting the eagle as a white-headed species, like the birds we know in my home state.
@@johnbayer9795
So... like an African fish eagle or a white-bellied sea eagle? (But the OP no doubt targeted his animation at people from your home state.)
I love this series! So glad to see another!
David Carradine’s name pronounced Carra-DEEN, not Carra-DINE. He was most famous for his role on the series “Kung Fu” back in the 1970s.
I was just about to mention it.
I read the series Kung Fu was written and conceived by Bruce Lee. The producers didn't want an Asian man in the lead so they cast Carradine as a half Chinese monk even though he was Caucasian.
NO ONE CARES!!!!!
@@professionalpookie The Carradine family is a large family. John Carradine was David’s father. Keith Carradine is David’s brother. Many members the Carradine family went into show business. I’m sure they care about how their name is pronounced. PS All caps? 5 exclamation marks? Really? YOU are the one taking things too seriously. Lol. 🤣🤣
@@backpackingtony1779 I find it so ironic that the studios went to such great lengths not to hire Lee or any other Asian man for the part but went with David Carradine who caused the show’s cancellation. I’m 62. My mom and I never missed an episode of Kung Fu. So when it got canceled, we could not understand why. Later I read that Carradine was getting $50,000 per episode which was a lot of money back then. He built a remote cabin back in the California desert somewhere and lived with his wife (second wife, I think) and child. He and his wife were back there doing all kinds of drugs. When it was time for him to report to the studio for his scenes, nobody could find him. He was wandering around on his desert property high as a kite. The productions crews were on a schedule and were still being paid for their time however. At first, the producers/directors would try to find Carradine. But after a while, they said he was costing them too much money paying production costs during such delays in trying to find him and waiting even more days for him to sober up. So they canceled the show.
As to casting, as similar situation happened with the script for “The Bodyguard.” Back in the 1970s, the script was written for a black female superstar and her white bodyguard who fall in love. Diana Ross and Steve McQueen signed on to play the parts. But the studio believed that such a movie would not sit well with whites audiences, especially whites audiences in the South. So the project was shelved for decades until the script was revived and Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner agreed to sign for the roles. Very sad that so much calculating about what people will accept racially and what they won’t has to go into moviemaking and tv shows.
They left out Aaliyah. One of the DUMBEST celeb deaths. Especially since her insistence on overloading the plane also killed 8 other people.
There are quite a few videos on TH-cam that put the fault elsewhere. I think if you watch a couple you may change your mind.
Steve Irwin is still considered a God here in Australia.
10:23 where's Alec Baldwins award for rust?
In flying the home built rear delta wing plane , it ran out of gas over the ocean. John Denver turned around in his seat to turn the "reserve gas tank handle" but could not reach it . Second theory. : someone forgot to fill the reserve gas tank. The plane nosed dived into the rocks or just of shore by a Malibu beach. Sad ending for a very talented person!
Zachary Taylor the 12th President died from eating to many cherries and milk.
Thank you for the update, The Infographics Show..!! Amazing narration and animation as usual. Just amazing..!! May they rest in peace..
Anton Yelchin was tragically crushed by his car.
Defective dodge shifter is what did it
Who knew the tortoise one from horrible histories😂
Even if Tennessee Williams *had* died by choking on the lid to the medication, I don’t think I’d classify it as a “dumb” way to die. Given that the medication was an anticonvulsant, dying in that manner is not wholly unheard of just because of the postictal fugue that occurs after seizure activity. It’s just a tragic side effect of seizure activity’s impact on the brain.
As an Epileptic, I agree with you. I've been in the post-ictal state following at least four instances of Status Epilepticus (extended period of Epileptic activity), sometimes for up to two days. It's NOT a pretty sight and it scared my ex half to death.
David Carradine' death is suspicious. He was in Bangkok -- where you can get it on with anyone or anything. No matter the gender or age or species.
I dont really think steve irwin's death would be considered a dumb way to die. I dont really think he was doing anything that would be considered dumb. He took on a dangerous life of course but not for any thrills... okay he did get some thrills fighting crocks and kangaroos. But what he was doing was all related to his calling and it was a freak accident. I dont understand how what he did would be considered dumb
The dumb part wasn't that he got stung, the dumb part was that he removed the stinger and that was the cause of death. If he had left the stinger in, we still would've had him today.
@@christineharris2302 really??? I thought the shot to the heart was soo traumatic it killed him almost instantly. Normally you would keep an impailed object in the wound to prevent bleeding out. Although puncturing the heart is one of those "dead in seconds" kind of injuries. I doubt he would have the time to pull it out in a panic.
@@patrickbernier5495 Apparently he was struck multiple times by the stingray.
1.The gun is loaded, Always. Treat it as such.
2.Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you know you are going to fire
3.NEVER point the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy
4. Make sure the area behind your target is clear.
But, what about Heath ledger? Brittany Murphy, and that chubby guy that played Capote?
All, very dumb deaths.
Matt Perry
Anton Yelchin should be on this list, with all due respect to the man.
I have the hope that his death saved other lives. The transmission on the vehicle was glitchy, so maybe other owners paid more attention & prevented more accidents. I remember when his parents defected to the US, the mom was carrying him, I think he was 2 years old maybe. He was such a good actor.
Since you included Brandon Lee and Jon-Erik Hexum on this list, why didn't you include Halyna Hutchins, the director of Rust, killed by Alec Baldwin?
This video didn’t mention that Jobs did live until 2011, 8 years after his diagnosis.

Not exactly accurate. He would have achieved a complete cure, and likely enjoyed a full long life
I have been stalked by coyotes multiple times, the ones in the northeast bred with timberwolves, and are nothing like your Californian counterparts. They’re twice the size, and excellent pack hunters. Once I was actually surrounded, but by the time I was surrounded I was at my vehicle, or I wouldn’t be writing this.

Coyote attack....
They weren't exactly coyotes....they were hybrid wolf/coyote, since walls were kind of scarce they took any chance they could for mating....
So, looking it up, a DUI will NOT necessarily bar you from flying. It "opens a conversation" about your ability to fly without being under the influence. Not sure if that was the case when John Denver died, but I had to look up "will a DUI bar you from flying?" People make mistakes. But not normally in an experimental airplane. Without training.
Believe me young’ns, it was ALWAYS a bad idea to go up on the roof to fix your antenna - with plenty of examples!
The part where the music stopped suddenly was kind of wild. It actually startled me, since I'm used to the background music in these videos. Also, I personally think Michael Jackson should be on this list. You absolutely don't take Propofol outside of a hospital setting, and certainly not just because you can't sleep.
Isadora Duncan never had her citizenship revoked. She left the country, that's a different thing.
Another famous John Denver song... Thank God I'm an ocean bouy.
Too soon!!! Too soon!!!!😁
Can y’all continue the I survived series pretty please
John Denver died because he was unfamiliar with the plane he was flying (a Quickie 500). There are 2 different fuel tanks on the plane. The pilot has to manually switch the fuel intake between the 2 tanks to balance the plane. Normally the fuel valve is on the floor in front of the pilot's seat making access easy. In the case of the plane he was flying, the owner had switched the valve to behind the pilot's seat over the shoulder. When fuel ran out on one tank John needed to switch to the other tank, which had fuel in it, but he was unable to do so because of the unusual placement of the valve. We don't know whether he couldn't find the valve or he did find it but couldn't operate it.
Forgot Bo Diaz, a catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies died when his satellite dish fell on him.
John Denver was an experienced pilot with over 2700 hours of flight time.
No offence but Job's is indeed the dumbest death in my opinion, come on he has the money and he went for alternatives?! In my experience those with financial constraints are the ones most likely to go to alternatives.
John Denver was not alone, I used to work at a company that used to build lots of single engine private aircraft and I learned about many accidents caused by pilot stupidity. They usually involved wealthy professionals who had the money for a high performance single plane but didn't have the time to remain proficient at flying the plane. They often perished while taking a cross country flight in bad weather and got in over their heads.
What are you talking about? John Denver was 100% alone in his aircraft at the time of the crash.
Denver was flying an experimental aircraft. Low power prop job. Like an ultra-light with a thyroid condition.
17:14 it’s a shame that someone so intelligent died for such foolish reasons.
It does seem to fit a pattern of him thinking he knew more than anyone else.
There’s nothing wrong with believing in yourself, but to think you know better than doctors and experts in fields in which you have no training is just narcissistic.
🎶 dumb ways to dieieee 🎶
John Denver died because his poorly designed experimental plane ran out of fuel. The poor design was putting the reserve fuel switch behind the pilot's head where it was difficult to find and reach. Still a dumb way to die, but having a revoked pilot's license (yes, he was previously licensed) wasn't what killed him.
That is probably part of why he had a pilot’s license, a pilot should know where his reserve fuel switch is.
@ethanweeter2732 he was shown, according to the guy who sold him the plane. Was also a known design defect, and i believe that the FAA pulled the craft's flight certs after this crash because of it.
What about the guy who played the Chekov in the re-boot of Star Trek. He was way too young, and a promising acting career cut short.
Although i can appreciate these type of videos, it's funny how these ignore that a lot of people have death wish or at least they don't care if they live or die.
Rod Hall’s death is similar to former Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn’s death. Fell off the roof while trying to repair it. Moral of the story: leave roof repair to the professionals.
Ladies, never wear a long scarf around your neck while zooming down the road in a convertible roadster.
There was a teenage girl here who was famous for her long red hair. She was at a go-kart track and her hair got caught in the wheels at the back and it ripped her scalp off. it was all over the news here when I was a kid. Never forgot that.
The really sad part of Steve Awens's death is that if he didn't pull out the stingrays barb himself and waited for surgeons to do it, he might have survived.
Some honorable mentions:
Greg Plitt: Bodybuilder who what hit by a train during a shoot on an active railroad.
Ormer Locklear: Daredevil who crashed his plane during a stunt cause the crew shined a spotlight on him.
Juan Rosales: Murdered by the cartel after posting a video of him mocking El Mencho.
Well thank you for info i didn't need but still like
Brandon Lee was much more complicated than that. A prop bullet with no powder was in the gun but the primer was still active when the trigger was pulled the primer went off with enough force to push the bullet into the barrel, no one noticed, later a blank cartridge was fired at Brandon which then expelled the bullet killing him. At least that is the official story.
Martha Mansfield and Isadora Duncan both died over "Wardrobe Malfunction,s" Janet Jackson should be glad she survived. I never worried that Steve Irwin would be killed by a Croc, I did get nervious when he "played" with venomous snakes.
How could you forget Terry Kath's death in 1978? The guy was playing with a 9MM pistol and showed everyone it had no magazine, but then he said "What do you think I'm goign to do? Blow my brains out?" not realizing there was one bullet in the chamber.
A Tortoise is not the same as a turtle. Tortoises don't swim, they drown if you drop them in water.

Re: Steve Irwin's death. The biggest mistake was emergency first responders withdrawing the stingray's barb because as well as piecing his heart it was also preventing too rapid a bleed.
Re: the eagle dropping a tortoise. He has a deadly accurate aim.
LIES AND FAKE NEWS. He was dead LONG before emergency first responders even got to him. Don't spread misinformation you know nothing about, EVER!
I vaguely remember hearing about Taylor Mitchell (I live in western Nova Scotia, about six hours southwest of the park), but didn't realize the coyotes up in that park on Cape Breton Island had adapted to killing moose. That's terrifying, and from the reports I've read after seeing about her death in this video, the coyotes responsible hadn't "consumed" any humans before that - and the most recent article I could find on it was from 2022, meaning they're still looking into it and watching the animals there. So horrible that she died that way, in such a terrifying fashion.
You didn't complete the story about John Denver. The fact that he didn't have a valid pilot's license had nothing to do with his death. It was the design of the aircraft that caused it. He ran low on fuel while he was out over the ocean. Unfortunately the reserve fuel switch was in a location that he could not reach from where he sat, and the plane simply ran out of fuel. He crashed into the ocean and was killed.

....what?
Pancreatic cancer is one of most voracious of the cancers and it almost always metastasizes. The best chance of survival is early detection and early treatment.
Don't do my boy Steve like that. He knew the risks.
So do smokers. Still dumb to take them.
Whenever I die, remember to put on show!
11:10 almost died the same way, thankfully after a few seconds of thinking "s..t i'm dead", it somehow stopped.
