After reporting a while ago on an unfortunate relative who died in a freak accident in Australia, I can inform you of yet another instance, this time in America.
Distant cousin Charles Edward Unrue (1908 Syracuse, Indiana - 1980 Abilene, Texas) died a nasty death, according to his death certificate "Killed by .22 caliber rifle discharged, propelling a cleaning rod through the deceased's skull causing immediate death."
I'm beginning to wonder if strange deaths might just run in my family ☹
Here is my first report....

Strange Ways To Die. :: General Discussion
Whilst doing yet more family research today I came upon a media report of my 2nd cousin 5 x removed Richard Stennett Sandall and how he came about his unusual demise. One shouldn't laugh but I can't help smiling as I imagine him chasing the rat around his shop.....it's almost like a Tom & Jerry...
