This day in History: On this day in 886, Byzantine Emperor Basil I got his belt entangled between antlers of a deer during a hunt and the animal subsequently dragged the emperor for 16 miles through the woods. An attendant cut him loose with a knife, but he suspected the attendant of trying to assassinate him and had the man executed. Because of the mishap with the deer, Basil contracted fever and died shortly afterwards.
On this day in 1966, Nick Piantanida, a skydiver, died four months after an attempt to break the record for the highest parachute jump near Joe Foss Field, Sioux Falls, South Dakota; his suit had depressurized, causing brain damage from lack of oxygen.
On this day in 2018, Linda Goldbloom, 79, died four days after being hit by a foul ball at Dodger Stadium. Her death, the second such fatality in Major League Baseball history, was the first in nearly 50 years.
