“She dried up in the desert. Drowned in a hot tub. Danced to death at an east-side night club,” sang Train back in 2012. “She went down in an airplane. Fried getting a suntan. Fell in a cement mixer full of quicksand.” While some of those causes of death sound too odd to be true, it turns out stranger things have happened. Redditor u/Mairon3791 recently racked up 4,000 comments when they asked, “What’s an actual cause of death so extremely rare that it’s hard to believe it’s possible?”

Keep scrolling for some of the most bizarre situations that have led to an unexpected funeral. And if you’re scared of dying (whether it be in a crazy or common way), we invite you to take a look at the discussion we had with a “death expert” on why you shouldn’t worry. tmink0220 , @historyinmemes Report
For some, it’s a mild fear or worry but for others, it’s extreme and there’s a name for it. Thanatophobia. Also known as death anxiety. It’s estimated up to 10% of people have thanatophobia. And psychologists say you’re more likely to develop it if you’ve had a near-death experience, you have PTSD, an anxiety disorder, if you’re terminally ill or have a serious illness. If you are scared to death of dying, and suspect you might have thanatophobia, Cleveland Clinic suggests the following, “If a fear of death affects your ability to function at school, work or in social situations, seek treatment from a healthcare provider. You may benefit from psychotherapy, which helps you talk through your fear and anxiety.”

And while some might consider his work morbid, he doesn’t. He has a wicked sense of humor. Hopefully, what he had to say will help put some of your fears about death to rest.

He said he used to host Death Cafes regularly. One thing led to another. Before he knew it, he was doing courses, and then joining a community of soul carers. But what exactly do soul carers, death doulas, and death coaches do?  “I’ve just spent an hour reading to someone who is paralyzed from a stroke,” he told me. “With others, we might imagine what happens after we close our eyes for the last time. And prepare for that, emotionally. We might use some visualization. I often have to reassure people that it’s ok for them to let go, that they have had a good life and done well and that their children will be ok without them, that their work is done. I hesitate to ’tell’ people anything though, except reassert what they have told me.”

“Well, yes, you can definitely prepare for a sudden death by always wearing your best knickers in case you have to take an unexpected ambulance ride - it’s not as if you were planning to, after all. One day will be your last. Is it today? Tomorrow? None of us know. The Grim Reaper’s receptionist isn’t calling to let you know you can be squeezed in next Tuesday at 10am. So be prepared!” quipped O’Connor.  “But for those left behind, we can get rid of our old sex toys and bad poetry, our diaries and journals and broken furniture, chuck away all the things we don’t need - tidy up, which makes the impact of our death less onerous for others, and the grieving process easier. After all, we won’t be here, what do we care - but we can do this for our loved ones.”  lorgskyegon , Maso Finiguerra Report

“I try to remember that we were designed to die. It’s natural,” he added. “The over medicalisation of death however has hidden it from us.”

And on that note, O’Connor had these parting words: “No-one has been beyond the veil to tell us what happens on the other side. All we can do is approach that moment with love and awe, even curiosity. Maybe even gratitude. For it would be awful, and awfully boring, if we lived forever.” ooglieguy0211 , Paramount Network Report
