TOP TEN LESSER-KNOWN DEATHS BY MISADVENTURE

10)  Hank Stromberg, a noted perfectionist with a penchant for not thinking things through, painted himself into a corner and died of starvation.  It was really, really slow-drying paint.

  9)  Monica Parsons, known for her five-octave operatic voice, was killed while practicing an aria in her home.  Her "all glass" home.

  8)  At first, Lance Peterson was dead set on obtaining the "holding breath underwater" record.  Then he was just... dead.

  7)  Lara Messersmith, the noted "Food Taster to the Stars", should never have taken that James Corden gig.

  6)  Skippy Blunt, wishing to prove to his doubting kids that the chimney really could accommodate Santa on Christmas Eve, ended up proving they were right all along.

  5)  Maggie Russo, a female Evel Knievel impersonator, was really bad at her job.

  4)  Harley Jenkins' tee shot on the 7th hole caromed off a ball washer, hitting him directly in the temple and killing him instantly.  And yeah, the foursome behind him opted to play through.

  3)  Babs Wentworth never dreamed she could die of embarrassment.  Boy, was she was wrong.

  2)  Alligator wrestler, Morrie Masterson, seemed to be winning right up until the end.

And the number one lesser-known death by misadventure:

  1)  Chain smoker, Patsy Stupples, could've sworn she turned that gas off.
