- obeythefist, on 10/10/2007, -4/+246FTA: A police spokesman said: “It was like a horror movie. His corpse was over the sofa.
“Giant webs draped him, spiders were all over him. They were coming out of his nose and his mouth.
*crawls under desk, weeping. - VeryBoredNow, on 10/10/2007, -9/+184bitten by a black widow is a bad way to go but I can think of other ways that would suck much more. i.e. getting beaten to death with your own leg by a girl
- cusoman, on 10/10/2007, -3/+126The way he died wasn't all that bad, as that was just the spider bite. What happened afterwards is gruesome, but not out of line with what would happen to humans normally if we didn't stuff them in boxes or creamate them after they die.
- masterkenobi, on 10/10/2007, -4/+106Probably not the worst, but pretty damn bad for the people that have to clean it up.
- RogerStrong, on 10/10/2007, -2/+99So in addition to poisonous snakes and frogs allowed to roam free in the apartment, the poisonous spiders and thousands of termites were accidently turned loose.
I'll bet the next tenants in that suite only find out about this incident AFTER they move in. By, er, surprise. - deadsQuerl, on 10/10/2007, -7/+79pics or it didn't happen?
- crackedplastic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+69The blog (spam) is down. Here's the SOURCE link it just copy-pasted from (with pictures):

- spillingvoid, on 10/10/2007, -2/+64one of the worst ways to be found dead for sure
- miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+55One less person, now.
- YoungDeezy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+50I like turtles!
- Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -3/+48Imagine if the original spider bite didn't kill him, only paralyzed him...muaahahahaa!
- brasso, on 10/10/2007, -1/+45That’s why you never should get a hobby that can eat you.
- Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -0/+43Okay, so it's not the worst way to die, but it is the worst way to be found dead.
- mtrip, on 10/10/2007, -3/+43That is kinda awesome.
- degree, on 10/10/2007, -1/+41I'm familiar with cremation, but creamation? Sounds kinda delicious.
- rhesuspieces00, on 10/10/2007, -3/+43Fatal Familial Insomnia:
FFI is a very rare autosomal dominant inherited disease of the brain. The dominant gene responsible has been found in just 28 families worldwide; if only one parent has the gene, the offspring have a 50% chance of inheriting it and developing the disease. The disease's genesis and the patient's progression into complete sleeplessness is untreatable, and ultimately fatal. The disease is caused by a dual mutation in a protein called a prion protein (PrP): aspartic acid-178 is replaced by asparagine while methionine is present at amino acid 129.[2] These mutations result in the formation of an insoluble prion protein, termed PrPsc.
The age of onset is variable, ranging from 30 to 60, with an average of 50. Death usually occurs between 7 to 36 months from onset. The presentation of the disease varies considerably from person to person, even among patients from within the same family.
The disease has four stages, taking 7 to 18 months to run its course:
1. The patient suffers increasing insomnia, resulting in panic attacks and phobias. This stage lasts about four months.
2. Hallucinations and panic attacks become noticeable, continuing about five months.
3. Complete inability to sleep is followed by rapid loss of weight. This lasts about three months.
4. Dementia, turning unresponsive or mute over the course of six months. This is the final progression of the disease, and the patient will subsequently die.

- dugh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+37A couple of years ago someone nearby died after his convertible hit behind a hot tar truck and the tank was punctured and he drowned in the tar that was poured on him...
- Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35I don't understand. Why is it comment abuse to provide a direct link to the actual content? That's not abuse, that's just being helpful.
- VeryBoredNow, on 10/10/2007, -2/+35no the word you're looking for is 'dumb'
- geekologist, on 10/10/2007, -2/+34You know what... NO THANKS.
- sykboi, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32
"hey, poisonous spiders, you're all free now! we can live in harmon-" *(dies)* - satanatnmtedu, on 10/10/2007, -9/+36Not even close to the worst.
- redfox2600, on 10/10/2007, -3/+29Comment abuse:
Direct link: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004092008,00.html - rcran, on 10/10/2007, -3/+28How about getting eaten alive by another human?
- jordanlund, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26How about this? You get bitten by a spider but only paralyzed instead of killed. Then the creepy crawlies in the apartment pull you apart while you're still alive.
Way, way, way worse way to go.... - Neiby, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24Sounds like dairy-based smoothie for zombies.
- NinjaBoy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+25With king of the hill intro music.
- Proctor, on 10/10/2007, -5/+27"Stupider"?
- clickwir, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Get out from under your desk! There are spiders under there!
- miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21Headline should be "Worst way to Live".
- Proctor, on 10/10/2007, -3/+22Time Lapse Pics/Movie?
- rhylan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19How many fly swatters do you reckon they needed for the cleanup op?
- miriclaire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Let's see--you have three choices: spider bite, fire, stomache cancer. Give me a spider bite, thank you.
- vigilantsauce, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17I think creamation's when you die and you're reincarnated as a Twinkie.
- wicketr, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17I for one will be sleeping with a mask on and ear plugs tonight.
- Aticper, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14Fewer every year.
- Authustian, on 10/10/2007, -5/+19Or zombie for that matter.
- apollomurga, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16WTB can of Raid
- Sifl, on 10/10/2007, -4/+18Killed by Reavers, would be the worst.
- kevinmotel, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Kent Brockman: Ladies and gentlemen, I've been to Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and I can say without hyperbole that this is a million times worse.
- chipwar, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16Oh what the hell.
When you die you get eaten by bugs and crawlies anyway.
So, he got eaten by his beloved creatures.
Good for him! It's not horrible, it's actually kind of cool.
Now, if he'd been eaten by his kittens, that would be disturbing. - zmjone2992, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14you are obviously much nicer than me
- directedition, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Which would you rather? Be buried and have your corpse eaten by worms? Or donate your body to the well being of your tiny pets?
- krnldmp, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15No matter how much you appreciate the wild never forget that to it you are at best competition and at worst, food.
- Godlike, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13I wonder how 'cool' he thinks it is now.
- onewingedangel9, on 10/27/2007, -2/+14Or say something that sounds sarcastic.
- yournightmare, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12He obviously did RTFA or he wouldn't have known about the termites, would he? And the article the submitter submitted doesn't even mention that the termites were spider food, does it?
- skankyBacon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13You should probably go take care of that or something.
