I saw a show recently where they were talking about strange ways to die. This was one of those weird, "what the fuck" stories I've ever heard....
There was a huge forest fire and after the fire was put out, the investigators found a guy hanging in a tree with scuba gear on, flippers, mask, the whole thing. He had internal injuries that pointed to a fall as the initial cause of death.
The investigators couldn't figure out what happened until they identified the guy and talked to his wife.
Turns out he was scuba diving off the coast, near the location of the fire. As you know, when battling a large forest fire, helicopters are called in that have large buckets that pick up water from the nearest body of water and dump the water on the fire as they fly over hundreds of feet above the ground.
The nearest body of water to the fire was the ocean. Well, this guy was unfortunately picked up by one of those helicopters while scuba diving. His wife said she saw him before he got picked up, the bucket got lowered near his position and next thing you know, he's gone.
The wife called 911, but they had no contact with the firefighters that were battling the blaze (the site of the fire was a known communications dead zone).
No one could help the guy. He couldn't climb out of the bucket or do anything else to stop what was going to happen...and the worst part is....he knew what was coming.
He got dumped along with the water over the forest fire, landed in the tree they found him in and most likely died on impact. He was burnt to a crisp and they had to identify him through dental records.
HB.
