A 40-year-old golfer was killed by a rat which ran up his trouser leg while he hunted for a lost ball at Caddockstown golf course in County Kildare, Ireland.

In the United States, an average of ten people a year meet their end after breathing in gas from manure pits. In 1989, five dairy farm workers from Michigan died after becoming overcome by methane fumes when one of them slipped into a manure pit, and the others went to try to rescue him.
In March 1989, in South Carolina, prisoner Michael Anderson Godwin, who had recently had his sentence of execution by electric chair reduced to life imprisonment, died while he was sitting on the metal toilet in his cell. He was trying to fix his TV set, bit into the wire and electrocuted himself.
In March 1992, Russian chess grand master Gudkov outwitted and checkmated a computer three times in a row at a public tournament in Moscow. The next time he touched the machine, however, it electrocuted him and, despite being rushed to hospital, he died.
In 1996, a peasant woman who was boiling plums to make brandy in the Romanian village of Ruginoasa died when the flames under her stove set off a buried World War II shell.

Shy Japanese couple Sachi and Tomio Hidaka waited 14 years before making love for the first time in 1992. The excitement proved too much and both died of heart attacks, although neither had a history of heart trouble.
A Brazilian pilot was showing off to his girlfriend by performing loop-the-loops over her house in his Cessna aircraft.
