16 People Who Died in Insanely Funny Ways

Neill Lynskey Published Yesterday in Funny

Death is all around us, and we are all dumb as hell.

One guy got buried underneath cheese wheels, yes really. In Australia, a pilot crashed into a wallaby which caused an explosion. There was even one guy who was wearing a white sheet and then got shot because people thought he was a ghost. And now he is a ghost!

Sometimes it all works out.

These people weren’t comedy legends while they lived, but they were stupid enough to gain the title in death and that’s pretty cool.
