1814: London Beer Flood (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Beer_Flood), 9 people were killed (some drowned, some died from injuries, and one succumbed to alcohol poisoning) when 323,000 imperial gallons (1,468,000L) of beer in the Meux and Company Brewery burst out of their vats and gushed into the streets.[40] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths#cite_note-BBC_London_Beer_Flood-39)

1771: Adolf Frederick, King of Sweden, died of digestion problems on 12 February 1771 after having consumed a meal of lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, smoked herring and champagne, topped off with 14 servings of his favourite dessert: hetvägg served in a bowl of hot milk. He is thus remembered by Swedish schoolchildren as "the king who ate himself to death."
Seriously, that's what I was taught in school.


1920, 25 October: Alexander I, King of the Hellenes, was taking a walk in the Royal Gardens, when his dog was attacked by a monkey. The King attempted to defend his dog, receiving bites from both the monkey and its mate. The diseased animals' bites caused sepsis and Alexander died three weeks later.


1649: Sir Arthur Aston, Royalist commander of the garrison during the Siege of Drogheda, was beaten to death with his own wooden leg, which the Parliamentarian soldiers thought concealed golden coins.

Hehe.

2009: Sergey Tuganov, a 28-year-old Russian, bet two women that he could continuously have sex with them both for twelve hours. Several minutes after winning the $4,300 bet, he suffered a fatal heart attack, apparently due to having ingested an entire bottle of Viagra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viagra) just after accepting the bet.

1980: Monica Myers, the 70-year-old mayor of Betterton, Maryland (http://www.revleft.com/wiki/Betterton,_Maryland), died when she slipped into a 25-foot tank of raw sewage and drowned in human waste. [116] (http://www.revleft.com/vb/#cite_note-115)


That is, without a doubt, the single worst way you can die.

Personally, I imagine the single worst way would be something more akin to a blood eagle.

Blood eagle, then tossed into sewage.

Also If you have read R.R. Martins A Dance with Dragons you could learn that the worst torture is skinning bit by bit. That makes your meat "dry" which causes you great pain, so big that you want to bit of your finger - but before you do that someone brokes your teeth, so you are spening hours in dark trying to cut of your finger.... :) I guess that you now understand why my nickname is Kontrrazvedka ;)

The sawing one's worse though. I wish there was a vomiting smiley.

2011: Acton Beale, 20, died after falling from a balcony in Brisbane, Australia, the only person known to have died while participating in a fad known as 'planking'.

Best one imo.

1410: Martin of Aragon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_of_Aragon) died from a lethal combination of indigestion and uncontrollable laughing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_from_laughter).[21] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths#cite_note-20)

:laugh: one can only imagine what caused the uncontrollable laughing which probably didnt help the audible sound effects of indigestion which probably didnt help with the laughing.
