We’re all gonna kick the bucket at some point. It’s a sad fact of life, so we must deal with it. But hopefully not many of us (or you) will die in any of these 5 bizarre ways.

1. Death by neti pot

A lot of people use neti pots to clear out their sinuses for some sense of relief from allergies and other problems.

But for a couple of people, using a neti pot turned deadly. In Louisiana in 2011, a neti pot transmitted a brain-eating organism called Naegleria fowleri. The deadly amoeba entered the neti pots through contaminated tap water in their houses.

Using the neti pot to squirt the water directly into their sinuses is what caused the amoeba to enter the brain and cause death. The lesson here? Use only sterile water if you’re gonna shoot it up into your nose.

2. Death by cockroach

Man, what a horrible way to go. In 2012, a Florida man entered a bug-eating contest sponsored by a local reptile shop. The 32-year-old quickly shoved a whole bunch of cockroaches and worms into his mouth and quickly discovered that his airway was blocked. The poor guy asphyxiated on the bug parts and died.

3. The deadly vending machine

This one has been around for years. I remember hearing horror stories in middle school about not rocking the vending machine or you might pay the ultimate price. Turns out it’s not an urban legend.

Vending machines can weight anywhere between 500 and 900 pounds when they’re empty, so you can only imagine how much they tip the scales at when they’re fully stocked. And sometimes they do fall on people and kill them. If you can believe it, 1,700 people are injured every year and 4 people die from rocking/messing with vending machines. Just forget the Fritos and move on.

4. Pooping too hard

This would be a humiliating way to meet the reaper. If you’re straining too hard while going to the bathroom, you can faint and maybe even have a heart attack. We know of at least two people who have died this way. Be careful when you’re in the john, people.

5. Death by laughter

Maybe not the most horrible way to die, but still bizarre, to say the least. If you’re laughing hard you might have a cardiac episode and it’s game over. Back in 1975, a British man died while laughing hysterically at a BBC sketch show called The Goodies. The man had a heart rhythm disorder and went into cardiac arrest because the show was just too damn funny. I better stop watching the Cartoon Network…
