Poor Lolo Ferrari
Death By Poodle
On the morning of 21st October 1988 in Caballito, Buenos Aires, a poodle was playing on an apartment balcony when it slipped through the failing and fell from 13 floors. The dog hit 75-year-old Marta Espina who was walking around the corner carrying her shopping, both were killed instantly.
46-year-old Edith Sola witnessed the event from across the street and raced across the street to help when she was fatally hit by a bus. An unidentified male who had just stepped out of a pharmacy on the street witnessed Edith's death had a heart attack and died.
Hannah Twynney kild by a Tygre at ye White Lyon
In bloom of Life She's snatchd from hence, She had not room To make defence; For Tyger fierce Took Life away. And here she lies In a bed of Clay,
Until the Resurrection Day.
- Poem from the grave of Hannah Twynnoy at Malmesbury Abbey.
In the graveyard of an unassuming village in Wiltshire, England, is the grave of Hannah Twynnoy, the first person in Britain to be killed by a tiger. Tigers are not indigenous to Britain, just in case you were wondering, so this is quite curious.
The story goes that Hannah Twynnoy was a barmaid at The White Lion, a pub in the village of Malmesbury. In 1703 a travelling menagerie, ‘an exhibition of wild beasts,’ set up their display in the garden of the pub where Ms. Twynnoy took to harassing the ‘very fierce tiger’ they’d brought along with them ‘not withstanding the repeated remonstrance of its keeper.’
One day the tiger had quite simply had enough of this and it escaped from its enclosure, ‘sprang towards the unhappy girl, caught hold of her gown and tore her to pieces’ (quotes via a local historian).
I visited Hannah Twynnoy’s grave in January 2019 during a little road trip of that part of England (which I would recommend to anyone). All Oddments that I have seen personally are included in the Oddment Odysseys section of the blog, which I obviously also recommend).
DIE A WEIRD DEATH
Woman Dies After Being Impaled By Metal Straw
On 22nd November 2019, Elena Struther-Gardner, a 60-year-old woman and retired jockey from Dorset, England died from injuries resulting from carrying a cup. She was carrying a mason jar style drinking glass with a screw top lid and a 10 inch long stainless steel, reusable straw.
Ms Struther-Gardner tripped causing the straw to enter her left eye socket and pierce her brain. Her wife called an ambulance but unfortunately the injury was fatal and Ms Struther-Gardener died the next day in hospital. It was discovered that the metal straw had damaged her brain stem and the tip was touching the back of her skull.
