In this photo, a boy is seen drowning in the background



A young boy drowned while on a class trip. The boys in the front didn’t notice him drowning while taking a selfie. Drowning can be very quiet and easy to miss, unlike what you see on TV.

A photo of a teenage boy in a swimming pool. Moments later, he died due to shallow water blackout.




Shallow water blackout can occur when someone stays underwater too long. Their brain loses oxygen, causing them to pass out underwater and drown. This normally happens when someone is holding their breath underwater for a long time, such as during a swimming race or while playing breath-holding games in a pool. This cause of death can happen to very accomplished swimmers

Snowboarder Marco Siffredi beginning his descent down Everest on a snowboard. He was never seen again.



In 2001 Marco Siffredi was the first person to snowboard down Everest. Siffredi’s plan was to snowboard down via the Hornbein Couloir, however when he reached the top of Everest he found that there was not enough snow to take the Hornbein Couloir route so instead me made the descent via the Norton Couloir. He survived. But Siffredi still wanted to make the descent down the Hornbein Couloir so he tried again the next year, this time in the fall when there would be more snow. Siffredi and the Sherpas he climbed with made it to the summit, but Siffredi was exhausted and possibly confused due to lack of oxygen. He took off on his board down the Hornbein Couloir, but that was the last anyone saw of him. His body was never recovered.

Final photograph of Jolee Callan before her ex-boyfriend shot and killed her and then pushed her off a cliff.


Eighteen year old Jolee Callan went for a hike with her exboyfriend in the mountains of Alabama. Her boyfriend shot and killed her then threw her body over a cliff, after posting several photos of her on Instagram including this one. He turned himself in the same day, and insisted that the two had a suicide pact that he was unable to complete after killing Jolee. Her family disagrees. He was sentenced to 52 years in prison

One of the most horrifying thing about this for me was the woman that was trapped in a fire truck when the towers collapsed. She was able to radio the fire controller, but she was rapidly losing air and I still don't know if she made it out alive.

Last image of a woman at her baby shower. She died five days later in a car crash.


Reddit user humblecrab says, “We had been so busy lately we hadn’t hung out in weeks. I remember her kissing my cheek and telling me we would hang out next Saturday and spend all day together playing games and our usual Chinese dinner dates. She smelled like baby powder because she just changed her son’s diaper. Her red KVD lipstick smeared on my cheek as per usual. She joked about “getting this damn alien out of me” so she could go out to the bar with me for her first time. She died that next Friday.

She had been complaining about feeling contractions, her mother and I believe she had a shocking contraction, maybe went into labor, or maybe her water broke. Who knows? Whatever happened, she swerved viciously while driving and slid into a telephone pole and died instantly.

I miss you so very much. You played the biggest role for a decade of my life and I will think of you always.”

The Thai Navy SEAL diver died trying to save the 12 boys trapped in a cave underwater in 2018. The boys were eventually saved, thanks in part to Kunan and his team’s heroic effort.

This is the last photo of Famous Steve Irwin, two days before his death.



Irwin died in 2006 from a stingray sting.

Ironically, stingrays were one of the least dangerous creatures Irwin, who became famous for wrestling crocodiles, interacted with on a daily basis.
It’s incredibly rare for a stingray to kill a person. Aside from Irwin, only two other people have died from stingray stings in Australia in the last 50 years. Irwin was killed only because the stingray happened to hit his heart and he bled to death, an incredibly tragic freak accident that left Irwin’s wife and children without their husband and father
