1. Kidney Transplants

When you undergo a kidney transplant, they don't usually take the bad kidney out of your body. So practically, you'd end up with 3 kidneys.

2. Internal Decapitation

Also known as orthopedic decapitation, this is when your skull separates from your spine (but everything else remains intact).


It can be caused by any small movement causing impact. This is immediately fatal in about 70% of cases.

3. Aneurysm

It can kill you completely unexpectedly and within seconds. Even if you are young and healthy.

It has no symptoms and occurs unnoticed. In rare cases, the brain aneurysm ruptures releasing blood into the skull and causing a stroke.

4. Danger triangle of the face

Due to the special nature of the blood supply to the human nose and surrounding area, it is possible for retrograde infections from the nasal area to spread to the brain.

Translation: popping a zit(pimple) on your nose can kill you, at least theoretically

5. Prions

You may or may not have a protein in your brain that is bent the wrong way.

If you do, one day it will convince the other proteins to bend that way, and you will die (after going crazy).

6. Commotio Cordis

This happens when your chest gets hit in just the right area at just the right moment, and causes you to go into cardiac arrest (it disrupts your heart rythm). So yes, you can die by getting hit in the chest.

Note: this usually occurs in young healthy males who play sports.

7. Coffin Birth

This happens when the gases built up inside a dead pregnant mother push the fetus out (it is also dead).
