Two Bizarre Deaths on This Day in History

 

This day in history: A 14-year-old Miguel Martinez from West Texas died on this day in 2013 after he ran into a statue of a bull on the Texas Tech University campus and impaled himself on one of its horns in what appears to be a bizarre accident.

Also on this day in 2019, Joemar Jungco, 18, was discovered with only his legs sticking out of the machine by workers arriving for their morning shift. The boy from Iloilo City, Philippines, died after half his body from the head down to the waist was stuck into a meat grinder.

In the same year, a Pennsylvania woman died after falling into a meat grinder at a food processing company. "The woman, an employee at the Economy Locker Storage Company in northern Pennsylvania, was found dead on Monday morning by a coworker who said they responded after hearing strange noises coming from the commercial machine, authorities said Tuesday. Witnesses said firefighters spent about 45 minutes disassembling the large machine in an effort to recover the woman’s remains. She was 35 years old." Source
