Unusual Death is Usual

Death is the end of a life. Thousands people die every day of famine, illnesses, on war, in accidents, etc. But we don’t see it and we don’t wish to notice. While it will not concern us and then it isn’t so interesting as it shown in movies. Often it occurs suddenly and unexpectedly: dying of the favourite person is always heavy loss and bereavement. There are collected cases of unusual death on this blog to pay attention to a problem of death, to give mental pabulum about death.

Giuseppe Sinopoli (November 2, 1946 - April 20, 2001) was a conductor and composer.
He was born in Venice in Italy and studied composition with Karlheinz Stockhausen as well as studying medicine. He began to make a name for himself as a composer of serial works before gaining fame as a conductor. He was appointed principal conductor of the Philharmonia in 1984 and of the Staatskapelle Dresden in 1992, but is best known for his intense and sometimes controversial interpretations of opera, especially works by Italian composers and Richard Strauss.
Sinopoli died of a heart attack while conducting Giuseppe Verdi's Aïda at the Deutsche Oper in Berlin. The last recording made by him was Dvorak's Stabat Mater.
