Zhou Xitao wrote in the "Augmenting Xianwen": "Life is one life, grass and trees are autumn. "Grass and trees tend to wither after autumn, and life is actually only so short, and sometimes fragile life is taken away because of an accident. Today, I will introduce 7 historical figures who died in accidents, and the causes of death are more than one.
1. Wu Yi, the monarch of the Shang Dynasty who was struck by lightning
Wu Yi, whose real name was Zi Qu, was the twenty-eighth monarch of the Shang Dynasty, and Fan Ye commented in the Book of Later Han: "Wu Yi was tyrannical. In that era when the concept of gods was prevalent, Wu Yi was an atheist, which was not unavoidable, but this monarch had a strange hobby of "shooting the sky". That is, to hang a belt full of blood on a high place, and then shoot it down, as if shooting at the sky. In the end, the monarch may have angered the gods, was struck by a thunderbolt, and fell to the ground and died.
Second, Jin Jinggong who fell into the latrine
Duke Jing of Jin was the twenty-sixth monarch of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period, and his greatest achievement in life was to end the hegemony of the State of Chu. But it is not his life's political achievements that people remember, but his bizarre death.
Legend has it that in 581 BC, when Jin Jinggong was ill, Sangtian Wu said that he could not eat this year's new wheat, Jin Jinggong was horrified, but in the autumn wheat season he was still alive, so he had people kill Sangtian Wu. Who knew that when he was preparing to eat the meal made of new wheat, he felt sick to go to the toilet, fell in the septic tank and never woke up.
Three, Alan Ping Keton who bites his tongue
Alan Pinn Kerton, who founded america's first private detective agency, once tripped over a rock in the street and bit his tongue in a panic, believing that this kind of thing happened to us during dinner. Usually, even if the tongue is bitten, it can heal on its own, but the brother may have bitten too badly, the wound became infected, and died a month later.
Aeschylus, who was killed by a turtle
The ancient Greek poet Aeschylus, known as the "father of tragedy", had a comedic ending in his life. One day in the 5th century BC, Aeschylus was living in seclusion in the small town of Raj in Sicily, but was killed by a turtle descending from the sky.
Later, it was speculated that the turtle might have been preyed upon by an eagle, and in order to smash its sturdy shell, the eagle threw it from high in the air, and Aeschylus's bare head was probably mistaken for a stone.
Fifth, Kurt Gödel, who did not dare to eat
The famous mathematician Gödel befriended the Jews, and after Hitler came to power, he began to show a strong "nervous crisis", which we today call persecution paranoia, and he was very afraid of being poisoned.
As a result, Gödel never ate out, he trusted only his wife. Later, his wife fell ill and was hospitalized, unable to cook for him, and he was so stubborn that he did not eat for several days, and finally he was starved to death.
Eric Wes who wasn't ready
Eric Weiss, also known as Houdini, is a world-famous magician. In 1926, during a magic show, Houdini interacted with the audience and invited an audience member to the stage to punch him in the stomach.
Not knowing whether he was unprepared or shouted the wrong "toto", the audience punched Houdini to death because the appendix was broken.
Jack Daniel who lost his temper
Jack Daniel is a premium whisky brand and a vintner's name. Probably because of the love of drinking, Daniel this person is grumpy, started a fire to find something to "vent anger", once, he kicked at the safe at home, but unexpectedly kicked his own foot, and then the wound infection could not be treated, Daniel finally failed to rescue back.
Seeing the strange causes of death of these 7 characters, are you sorry for them and you can't help but be funny? In particular, Aeschylus, who died from the sky tortoise, is also a great historical curiosity.
