Death comes for us all, and sometimes it sneaks up through a series of bizarre coincidences or accidents. In this episode of "A Study of Strange", we cover five of the strangest deaths including a parachute test from the Eiffel Tower, a baseball accident, a movie star catching on fire, a killer toothpick, and a horrendous blood transfusion. We unpack how hubris, curiosity, and sheer misfortune turned ordinary moments into extraordinary exits.
