King of Navarre, by a vicious life in his youth, fell into a paralytic distemper in his old age, that took away the use of his limbs. His physicians directed him to be sewed up in a sheet that had for a considerable time been steeped in strong distilled spirits, to recover the natural heat of his benumbed joints. The surgeon having sewed him up very close, and wanting a knife to cut off the thread, made use of a candle that was at hand to burn it off; but the flame from the thread reaching the sheet, the spirits wherewith it was wet immediately taking fire, burnt so vehemently, that no endeavours could extinguish the flame. Thus the miserable King lost his life in using the means to recover his health.

An incident on the set of a 1958 edition of Armchair Theatre illustrates the perverse extremes of professionalism that television actors were expected to exhibit. The ... cast included ... a young Welsh actor named Gareth Jones. 'During transmission', recalls [Peter] Bowles, 'a little group of us was talking on camera while awaiting the arrival of Gareth Jones's character [...] We could see him coming up towards us, and he was going to arrive on cue, but we saw him drop, we saw him fall. We had no idea what had happened, but he certainly wasn't coming our way. The actors, including me, started making up lines: "I'm sure if So‑and‑so were here he would say..."' Jones had suffered a fatal heart attack—but rather than informing the actors of their colleague's death and ceasing transmission of the play, the producers decided to let them stumble on to the end.

409. "Who, What, Why: How dangerous are swans?". BBC News. 17 April 2012. Retrieved 5 November 2021. Anthony Hensley, 37, worked for a company that provided swans to keep geese away from property. On Saturday morning, the married father of two set out in a kayak across a pond at a residential complex in Des Plaines, just outside Chicago, where he was tending the birds. One of the swans charged his boat, capsizing it, says Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, whose deputies investigated the death. Mr Hensley tried to swim to shore but eyewitnesses told the sheriff's investigators the swan appeared to have actively blocked him. In April 2010, a swan on the River Cam in England made the news after repeatedly attacking rowers. It was nicknamed Mr Asbo, named after the Anti-Social Behaviour Orders issued by UK courts at the time. Two years later, there are still calls for it to be removed from the river, as the seasonal attacks go on. But such incidents are very rare, says John Huston of the Abbotsbury Swannery in Dorset, where there are 1,000 swans but no recorded attacks on humans in the colony's 600-year history.
410. Delgado, Jennifer; Ruzich, Joseph (17 April 2012). "Man caring for swans drowns after one attacks him near Chicago". Chicago Tribune. Retrieved 5 November 2021. Witnesses told police that Hensley, a Villa Park father with two young daughters, drowned after he was attacked by a nesting swan Saturday morning, causing his kayak to topple. The bird continued to lunge at him aggressively as he struggled to make it to shore before disappearing under the water, authorities said... Though swans may seem serene and are pretty to look at, most people don't realize how strong and aggressive they can be, said Doug Stotz, a senior conservation ecologist with the Field Museum. He said he has heard tales of people being attacked or injured from swans but has never heard of someone dying after a bad encounter.

Randy Llanes, who on Friday was impaled by a swordfish that he had speared, more is revealed about the man, the incident, and the type of fish that killed him... The extraordinary incident occurred inside Honokohau Small Boat Harbor. A swordfish measuring between 4 and 6 feet, with a 3-foot bill, had been spotted deep inside the harbor–a rare occasion because swordfish typically roam deep, pelagic waters... This type of incident, as far as we know, is unprecedented.

Llanes jumped into the water with a spear gun on Friday, May 29, after the swordfish was spotted in Honokohau Harbor... While there have been incidents between humans and swordfish in the past, Dr. Rossiter says an incident like this one is rare. "This is very, very unusual," he said. "There have been a couple of cases documented in the past, but almost always it can be attributed to an unfortunate accident or the fish being injured."
