I think this is a really tragic story. God bless his wife and family

Just as tragic as any death in the family........just they don't all land legs up, and in the news....

My sensitivity, would mean, that I would not have been insensitive enough to tell of a relatives death in a (somewhat funny way) to the press.....

It may have come from other sources.

That's it....it's the struggling...I can't even get to the rest of the story   Funny deaths I can usually giggle at...but some one struggling to get out of water   If he didn't struggle, if he'd hit his head or summat first or something and then landed arse out of the bucket, then I'd giggle
