"Once read about someone who died when they had the flu – they were medicating with over the counter cold and flu medicine and drinking multiple cups of lemsip, one after the other, not realising lemsip also contained painkillers. they died of an overdose, iirc"

#9 I saw something on Reddit once that's burned into my memory. Some workers saw a woman on the balcony of her hotel room on something like the 30th floor and started filming because they noticed she was sitting on the railing with a selfie stick. Turns out she was a single mother of two and a nursing student on vacation. She slipped. It took her a long time to fall... slowly tumbling head over feet... and still clutching onto that selfie stick all the way down...

#10 I’m pretty old, and I’ve never heard of someone dying from a gum infection.

Lenny,
Left untreated, any infection can kill you. It's called sepsis, and technically it's your body killing itself. Sometimes if the immune system's combative measures are ineffective, it will overreact and release too many toxic chemicals into the blood stream. Sepsis has three stages, and the third one is fatal.

Florence,
Correct. Additionally, the bacteria from an abscess seems to have an affinity for the human heart, and can cause a serious and possibly fatal myocarditis if it leaves the dental infection site and travels through the circulatory system.

#3 If you were standing close enough to one of these springs were it to break while stretched out and one of the broken ends hit you, you'll most likely bleed out before you could dial 911, assuming that the impact left you conscious.

Grissel,
I experienced a spring breaking and had a large piece of it miss me by maybe an inch, scary situation.
