Yes, very odd (and suspicious).
Like that poor sod found dead in a zipped up hold hall
that was supposed to have been self inflicted climbed in zipped it up
n died even though a contortionist tried on 2 or 3 locations and
could not repeat the feat.
Linkee no workee...Death by MRI machine
From Mumbai. According to the report, he was carrying an oxygen cylinder, didn't know the machine was switched on, was dragged by the magnetic force & got his hand pinned between the machine & the cylinder & died from inhaling liquid oxygen which leaked from the cylinder.

FBI Releases Docs Claiming RT Founder Beat Himself To Death In His Hotel Room
Originally, authorities announced that Lesin died from a heart attack. However, the results of his autopsy released months later indicated a far more sinister cause of death and the heavily redacted FBI documents that were just released add to that story.
In spite of the original cause of death noted as a heart attack, a few months later, the District of Colombia’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) and Metropolitan Police Department said that “blunt force injuries of the neck, torso, upper extremities and lower extremities” contributed to Lesin’s death. “The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) has released the cause and manner of death for Mikhail Lesin… Cause of Death: blunt force injuries of the head,” the statement said.
Now, FBI investigators have released the results of their investigation claiming that the blunt force trauma all over his body was self-inflicted.

Wait - they already recorded it as a heart attack, then changed their minds and decided that rugby-tackling the walls and floor until dead was somehow more credible?
Aside from the fact that nobody (to the best of my knowledge) has ever been recorded as having killed themselves that way, how is it even physically possible? A single blunt force trauma sustained from falling and hitting your head, fair enough, but the plural suggests that he somehow managed to inflict a number of cumulatively-fatal blows without losing consciousness.

Banging your head untill you die is not unusual.
It was July 1871 and former congressman Clement Vallandigham was working as a lawyer in Lebanon, Ohio, defending Thomas McGehan, who was accused of killing a man named Tom Myers during a saloon brawl. One night at the outset of the trial, Vallandigham sought to test out his defense, which suggested that McGehan hadn’t shot Myers, but that Myers had accidentally shot himself while drawing his own pistol.
After conducting some ballistics tests that night, Vallandigham and his companions started back to the hotel. “Val., there are three shots in your pistol yet,” one of his companions said, “you had better discharge them.”
“What for?,” Vallandigham replied.
“To prevent any accident. You might shoot yourself.”
“No danger of that. I have carried and practised with pistols too long to be afraid to have a loaded one in my pocket.”
And, indeed, the pistol in his pocket didn’t go off — not right then anyway. The men made it back to the hotel, whereupon Vallandigham set the loaded pistol down on a table next to an unloaded pistol that had been used earlier in court.
Vallandigham then sought to demonstrate for some fellow lawyers how Myers could have accidentally shot himself while drawing his pistol. He accidentally lifted the loaded pistol from the table, put it into his pocket, drew it back out, and left it pointed at his abdomen.
“There,” he said, “that’s the way Myers held it.” Then his hand touched the trigger, there was a flash, and he cried out, “My God, I’ve shot myself!”
Over the next 12 or so hours, Vallandigham lay mortally wounded as friends, reporters, doctors, and onlookers filtered in and out in an attempt to help and comfort him, but to little avail, as the bullet could not be found. Even McGehan was escorted in from his cell and reportedly cried upon witnessing the scene.
McGehan was soon acquitted and set free. After all, Vallandigham may have died in the process, but he did prove this theory. Nevertheless, McGehan himself died four years later — in a saloon shooting not unlike the one of which he’d been exonerated.
Strange indeed. And we think the NHS is bad! If the guy couldn't walk someone put the body in the ceiling for some reason. Trying to cover up botched care perhaps? Dreadful for the relatives since you suspect the truth won't come out.We missed this one from late last year, but it was in the FT:

Basically, 61-year-old bloke goes into hospital for operation, is left alone in his room, disappears, then some time later workmen find his body - in the ceiling. Doesn't seem to be any follow-up, and everyone is baffled, apparently he couldn't even walk after surgery. Explain that one!
Out-of-body experience - but the body returned to the spirit, not the traditional way.
Yeah, that's what Bob Rickard said in the mag. But if there was foul play, how easy is it to store a body in a ceiling? Not very, I'd have thought.

This is why I don't visit the cinema anymore, it's too dangerous.

Man found crushed under concrete slab on a beach, authorities suspect he died when high winds blew debris onto him. But... why wasn't he wearing any trousers? And why was there a bed sheet next to him? Locals suspect he was killed by a ghost. Sounds more like someone flesh and blood was with him to me, and left in a hurry when the slab fell.
The article said he had a cardiac arrest.trapped himself maybe by the neck blocking the
airway, not his lucky day that for sure.
