These 19 Deaths Are Ironically Hilarious

A member of my family choked on a sausage. There is just so much that’s funny about this that I can’t help but giggle a little, even though it was tragic. At the time we all tried to pretend it wasn’t the funniest thing in the world but we didn’t succeed. Gallows humor is often the only place left to turn.

I was hanging out with friends and a few acquaintances at a bar during my last year of college. We got really drunk, when one of the acquaintances got a phone call and went outside. She came back to our table in tears and told us that a childhood friend had just died due to an accident while working on his car. We all offered our condolences, and someone asked if she knew what, specifically happened. I think we were all expecting her to say the car fell on him or something, but she told us he was smoking weed while working on the car and there was an explosion. All shocked to hear her answer, we were quiet for a few sober moments. I then offered, “Well, at least he died happy.” Her friends had to pull her out of the bar and talk her out of kicking my ass while my friends and I slipped out the back door.

My mom died of a stroke. Nothing really spectacular about it but it was the days leading up to her death and the events during the funeral that made things…well…humorous. See my mom has a heart condition and needs to maintain a healthy diet. According to her caretaker, she got fed up with her list of banned foods and on the evening of her stroke indulged in eating all the crabs she wanted (super bad for ppl with HB).
