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.

On August 25th, 1998, Franc Filipic, 47, drowned in an eastern Slovenian lake when he was pulled in by his catch. Determined to land the sheat fish, a kind of catfish, he walked into the lake after hooking it and refused to let go when it pulled him under. According to a friend, his last words were: "Now I've got him!". Police and divers found Filipic's body after a two-day search. The fish was not found. The friend said it was six feet (1.8 m) long and weighed about 110 lb (50 kg). (Associated Press -August 26th, 1998).
