Final Exits: An Illustrated Book Of How We Die
Final Exits: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of How We Die
We're all going to die, it's in the contract, but how will it happen? Today, although we live longer, people are killed by everything: bad words, bloodletting, flying cows, frozen toilets, hiccups, laughing, and spontaneous combustion are some of the unexpected causes. According to death certificates, in 1700 there were less than one hundred causes of death. Now there are more than three thousand. In the eye-opening and addictive Final Exits, causes of death, bizarre or common, are alphabetically arranged and include actual accounts of people, both famous and ordinary, who died in their own particular way.
