On April 4, 2009, Diane Durre of Nebraska was selling some dogs to a Wyoming couple. They all agreed to meet “right underneath the big Taco Bell sign”, in North Platte, Nebraska. The Taco Bell sign was 75 feet tall and could not be missed. The day was very windy and the pole holding up the sign broke and it fell right on top of Diane’s quad-cab pickup and killed her.

Cassidy was a popular English stand-up comedian who co-founded the “Lock ‘n Load Comedy Club” in Blackburn. On January 8, 2009, Cassidy was found dead in his home surrounded by cans of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas while pornography was playing on his laptop computer. The death was ruled an accident by “autoeroticism that had gone wrong, and during the cause of that he had lost consciousness due to the nitrous oxide, which killed him.” An embarrassing way to go for sure but not that it matters anymore to Cassidy.

James Mason

On June 2, 2008, 71 year old James Mason was being pulled around a swimming pool by his 41 year old wife, Newton-John while a surveillance camera recorded the incident. No less than 43 times Mason attempted to leave the water only to be prevented by his wife. Several times Mason rested his head on the side of the pool and gasped for air. Mason ended up having a heart attack and died. Newton-John, who used to be John Vallandingham before she had gender reassignment surgery in 1993 and changed her name in honor of the singer and star of the hit movie version of the musical “Grease”, was charged with reckless homicide. Due to the damaging video tape, she pleaded guilty and faces up to 5 years in jail.
