A bad-tempered man who went to bed with a headache saying he must not be disturbed was found dead four years later. The 50-year-old’s brother and sister were too scared to knock on his bedroom door – and thought he was eating out at night. Workmen noticed the body as they measured up windows in Den Haag, Holland. D.Mirror, 26 June 2010.

Than Singh, 70, a dairy farmer in northeast India, was left aghast after receiving a bogus receipt for his own cremation service a week earlier. He complained of chest pains and was rushed to hospital, but suffered a massive heart attack and died. His body was then delivered to the same crematorium in Ghaziabad that was mentioned in the mysterious letter. In a further macabre twist, the body was issued with the same serial number – 89. Suspicious relatives called in police, who believe the death was the result of a prank rather than an administrative mistake. “The element of mischief is apparent and obvious,

A computer-addicted couple from Suwon in South Korea let their three-month-old baby starve to death in September 2009 while raising a virtual daughter online. The jobless pair fed their premature baby powdered milk once a day and then spent 12 hours at an Internet café nurturing virtual girl Anima through their avatars on a Second Life-style game called Prius Online. The 45-year-old man and his wife, 25, met through a chat website. They were sentenced to two years’ jail in May. The wife’s term was suspended because she is pregnant with a second child. Guardian, 6 Mar; Irish Independent, 29 May 2010.

A newly-wed groom was accidentally shot dead by his uncle as he fired his gun in the air to celebrate the marriage. Pankaj Kishore Karotia, 21, was just about to claim his bride and take her from a wedding recept-ion to her family home when his uncle drew his licensed handgun to fire a final shot. As he was loading it, it fired accidentally and hit his nephew in the head. His bride was waiting for him in the car as he died. The uncle was arrested for culpable homicide.

Richard Butler wanted his girlfriend to think they were just taking a scenic hike in the North Carolina mountains, but he had a secret plan. When they got to the top, he was going to pull out a ring and propose to her. As they reached the summit of Max Patch Bald, near Asheville, on 4 June, lightning struck three times. The third bolt hit the 30-year-old and his girlfriend, Bethany Lott, 25, killing her and giving him third-degree burns. “I was spun 180 degrees and thrown several feet back,
