3 stories, 3 stupid deathes - Darwin Award

May be you already heard before about darwin award. It sounds cruel, but nevertheless people are awarded for doing something so wrong, that no one can help them afterwards. Please find here 3 stories, which seem to be the most interesting

Death by Chocolate (Must not have been Hershey's)

You could say Yoni Cordon happened to fall into a sweet job working for a candy company. Until this week, that is, when his Kargher Corp. co-workers found the 19-year-old Philadelphian had drowned in a 1,200-gallon vat of liquified chocolate. Police said Cordon, who worked at the company's Hatfield, Penn., plant, had been standing on a platform near the vat's opening when he fell in, apparently by accident.

A Shot And A Beer

On Wednesday, three friends, Dewayne Atkins, 29, Gary Walker, 43, and Robert Bordeaux, were partying together at the Terri Jean Mobile Home Park in Thomasville, North Carolina. Around 8:30 in the evening -- after they had been drinking for awhile -- Dewayne Atkins suggested a friendly game of Russian Roulette.

His friend Gary Walker sat next to him on the couch and watched as Dewayne pointed a 357 Magnum to his head and pulled the trigger. With a loud bang the bullet went through Dewayne's head and directly into Gary's -- killing Dewayne instantly leaving Gary seriously injured.

Rescue workers arrived around 10 p.m. and found the two men. Robert Bordeaux, who witnessed the incident, said that his friends talked about playing the game in the past, but he usually managed to talked them out of it.

This Job Sucks

On Friday, Archie Tyler, 43, a city worker in New York, worked to clear a clog in the drain of a New York City reservoir basin. Tyler, standing on the drain in about two or three feet of water, was oblivious to the consequences of his cleaning efforts. When he finally cleared the debris, the water rushed down the drain creating an enormous vortex which sucked Tyler down 200 hundred feet through a 20-inch wide drainage pipe, drowning him. "It's very similar to what happens when you drain the bathtub," said Joel Miele, Environmental Protection Commissioner.
