TJ crushed by a stack of helmet brochures knocked over by an out of control dog playing football?
CFH choking on his Gregg's pasty after being surprised trying on clogs in a coal mine?

Very sad.

Bravo Sir.
Possibly the worst death imaginable

Bear Shirly won the internet for a day with that.

Odd name for a meat processing company.
I read about some samurai who was boiled to death with his son.

Water terrible way to die
"Very sad. She’ll be greatly minced."
Indeed , she didn't get the chance to say tartare.
Could be worse.
You could be stabbed.

Horrendous.
I do recall an incident in the 80's where a guy was pulled into a Mastic Asphalt mixer. His mate lost his hands trying to get him out.
There are loads of these types of accidents. There is an ongoing inquest at the moment for 2 workers (1 dead, one mangled) at a recycling centre in County Durham. Went into a rotary grading type machine thing (jumped over the interlocked gate thing). Machine started and they spent some time running etc to avoid being mangled before being slowly mangled to death. Having been in a few meat processing factories I would suspect the meat grinder would be a mercifully quick way to go by comparison.

Oh and rabies. I think that is supposed to be just about the worst way to go.
I feel sorry for the poor sod who found her
There is an apocryphal tale I heard growing up about a father and son who worked together in the steelworks in our town.
The story goes that the son fell into a huge ladle of molten steel and his father then pushed him under with his foot to end his suffering because he knew that there was absolutely no possibility of survival.
That has always struck me as a horrific way to go.

I doubt they could tell her apart from the other mince

Grim and probably true. David Blunket (of Labour MP / Sheffield fame) has a horrendous tale from his childhood. He told it on the radio and it was genuinely sickening and heart wrenching. His dad worked in a factory and fell into a vat of hot liquid. He was rescued but suffered horrific burns. He vividly described the memories of visiting dying father who slowly but inevitably died over the next month. Before health and safety went mad, the company refused any compensation because his dad had worked past the retirement age which also plunged the family into poverty. Ah the good old days.
Really do feel for the people who found and had to deal with that My dad worked in a factory in Belfast that made castings for engines, a guy tripped and fell into a smelting pot, three guys around him at the time have all had horrendous effects since, none could cope with the fact they all had either opened the rail, left something on the platform or thought they could have caught him if they were paying more attention.
Grim all round.
There'll be a big spread at the funeral
Pretty grim but only for those left behind and cleaning up, very very hard to mentally comprehend... but it’s the long lingering one that would be grim for the victim.
This story (?) always strikes me as grim:
‘In 1223, the Mongolian army was making its way through Russia and had just won the Battle of the Kalka River. The Russian army had surrendered, their towns had been captured, and the Mongolians decided to celebrate. The generals and nobility of the Russian army were forced to lie down on the ground. Then a heavy wooden gate was thrown on top of them, chairs and tables were set on top of the gate, and the army sat down for a feast.They held their victory celebration on top of the still-living bodies of their enemies, eating and drinking while Russian princes were crushed to death beneath their feet.’
as a shitty way to die, a lad I went to school with drowned in a slurry pit...
I always thought this was tragic in a comedic way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14415592 . Everyone has been on a schooltrip that has gone a little awry, but this one is so tragic it's comedic.
And yes, Health and Safety. We should rightly be outraged that such events can happen.
I worked on a case where a chap got locked in a commercial oven and couldn't get out. Horrible.

There speaks somebody who's never been on Liveleak 🙂 (not that I would recommend it).
Honestly having seen what goes on in Brazil and Mexico, given the choice my preference would be to jump in the grinder 🙁 human cruelty apparently knows no bounds
Liveleak is a world of wrong.
Shitty way to go...

Ever wondered where the Catherine Wheel came from? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breaking_wheel
She's changed her name to Pattie.
She’s changed her name to Pattie.
How ???

I think they mean Jill who went in the grinder not Catherine.
Well i've learnt a few things thanks to the posts above that are possibly worse than death by industrial mincer but the fact that there is such a website as liveleak must top them all, Tim Berners Lee must be so proud that there is such a website created for his vision.
"meat" pattie cheekyboy
Urgh.... That's pretty grim for all concerned.
My brother used to be on the submarines and one of his friends got crushed under the periscope when ordered to do some work in the well without the usual protective systems in place, apparently it was pretty much a mop and bucket job:(
As an apprentice we were told lots of grisly stories. I guess there are many horrible ways to go.
Never mind Liveleak. Try looking for fatal accidents on YouTube - some awful stuff.

Can vouch for this one
Is that where you got your name mashr?, did you press the drop periscope button?
The sub incident was briefly on national radio and I recognised my brothers sub, but then there was a media blackout which had me panicking until I knew he was OK. Terrible.
Double post...
Having had to accident investigation as part of job, I've seen and heard of some really grim deaths and life changing incidents, bloke being dragged through a rubber mill was one of the worst, a work mate looked on the line camera and saw an arm sticking out holding onto a stanchion, poor bugger had been dragged through the large mill rollers breaking legs, knees the wrong way over them etc... Was still conscious enough to grab hold and try and stop himself going through the final small rollers. Emergency stop and then it took hours to get what was left of the poor bloke out. Worst bit is that it didn't kill him at the time and he lasted quite a while after.
Also involved with a chap that was working with a trommel (huge rotary screen) where he was greasing parts of it. Kicked it up under power to start the drum and then turned it off so that the next grease port would slowly rotate to where he was just using momentum. He left the guard off and as it was slowly rotating to stop he got caught in it. Took a minute or so as both hands got slowly dragged into the gears and destroyed whilst there was nothing he could do but scream
Those who say health and safety has gone mad are bellends
Nope..... Worst death possible is "Death by Umbongo."
Reminds me of the farmer who got run over by a combine harvester.
Rest in pieces.
