Died from a infection in his toe that spread after he broke it playing soccer and refused to have it examined.

..I remember Jim Fixx. Thought he could eat all the steak n lobster he wanted if he just ran 20 miles a day.

His diet didn't kill him, his genetics did.

..high calorie/fat diet is like playing on the freeway. sooner or later your coronary arteries turn to sausage.

You don't think genetics plays a part in that?

L Ron Hubbard died from taking drugs. Church of Scientology is strongly opposed to the use of any drugs.

L Ron Hubbard spent his life fighting against the use of psychiatric drugs, but died from using psychiatric drugs.

Scientology lawyers are gonna show up at your doorstep any second.

I was just thinking about that as I was posting. Not a smart idea since I'm using my real name.

Well, if you don't see me posting next week, that means the Church of Scientology has killed me and you can add me to the "dumbest death in recorded history" post.

RIP bennylong

Robert Capa a famous photographer died by stepping on a landmine in Vietnam in 1954, the last photos he took before he was killed are around and you can see them HERE
