A man died on Tuesday afternoon (28) after cutting his leg while slaughtering a pig in Gentil, a municipality of 1,700 inhabitants in the north of Rio Grande do Sul. The incident occurred in the town of SΓ£o Valentim, in the interior of the municipality, at around 5:15 pm.The victim was identified as farmer Zilmar Salvatico, 54 years old. According to the Military Brigade, the man was located by neighbors lying near a shed on the rural property.
Upon arriving at the scene, the police identified that the victim had a cut on his right leg with the potential to reach the femoral artery, causing excessive blood loss.
According to the police, there is evidence that SalvΓ‘tico died when the animal was collapsed, at which point the person performed a maneuver of pulling the hide down with the animal hanging. At that moment, he would have hit himself in the leg with the knife. He died at the scene.
According to the Civil Police, the case has been clarified: it was an accident, as stated by delegate Norberto Rodrigues, responsible for the case.

Key points if you don't wanna read the article
The male that was electrocuted went into cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital, information on his condition today is not up to my knowledge
The female friend was reportedly conscious when emergency services responded, but was also hospitalised following her injuries
According to the National Weather Service, the human body is capable of surviving exposure to high voltages, with the average lightning bolt containing 300 million volts. However, 50 volts of electricity is enough to kill a person.

Yuri Lipski was a Russian man who, on a trip to Egypt, died after a fatal diving accident in the Dahab Blue Hole, on April 28th, 2000. On his dive, he brought with him a camera, which filmed his slow death over the course of seven minutes.
I have the whole video here, but it is relatively long and uneventful if you donβt know whatβs happening. Iβm going to try my best to describe what exactly happened to Yuri during his descent, and provide timestamps to noteworthy events.
Also, I know this video isnβt the typical short, bloody WPD post, and that it is quite easy to find. However, I donβt think itβs all that famous of a case, and itβs one of the most interesting recorded deaths I have ever seen, so I feel like it belongs here.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YURI?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Recreational diving, preformed by tourists, is very different from βtechnicalβ diving, which is essentially any kind of diving that requires several extra modifications to preform. Technical diving is usually deeper than recreational diving, and because of this, technical divers breathe a different mixture of gasses than recreational divers.
At higher pressures, all gasses compress. In diving, this means that the deeper you go, the more concentrated the air in your air tank becomes. Since youβre still breathing in the same amount of air, the air in your tank will deplete faster. More importantly, you will be breathing in significantly more oxygen and nitrogen with each breath. This can be somewhat nullified by adding helium into an air tank, (what technical divers typically do), which will mix with the oxygen and nitrogen as they compress, keeping them diluted enough to breathe at a safe level.
Despite considering himself to be a technical diver, Yuri decided to dive without helium, meaning that if he went too deep, he would start to be poisoned by the air in his tank. He also decided to dive alone.
When you dive deep enough, it eventually becomes impossible to surface on your own, as the pressure above you forces you downwards. Because of this, Yuri was wearing a special buoyancy device that could help him resurface. He failed to notice that it was broken before he began his dive.
Even if it had not been broken, it would not have been as effective as it should have been, because in doing the weight calculations to determine what strength of this device he would need, he forgot to factor in the weight of his camera.
Shortly after beginning his dive, he realized he was sinking too fast, and tried to activate his buoyancy device. This didnβt work seeing as it was broken, and he continued to sink deeper, quickly sinking much lower than he had intended to. At this depth, he was experiencing confusion and impaired judgement from breathing the compressed air in his tank. He tried again to activate his buoyancy device, but it again failed.
Yuri sinks to the bottom of his dive site and becomes stuck there. He isnβt thinking clearly. He tries taking off his weight belt to make himself lighter, not realizing this would do nothing. He appears to crawl around on the bottom, possibly trying to crawl his way to the surface. He quickly exhausts himself and the pressure of the ocean above him forces Yuri against the bottom. He flails desperately on his back before losing consciousness.
Yuriβs cause of death was nitrogen narcosis, the progressive deterioration of an individual from them inhaling abnormally high concentrations of nitrogen. He died confused, alone, terrified, and in excruciating pain at the bottom of a pitch black, freezing cold pit.
TL;DR
^^^^^
The air in air tanks compresses at high pressures, leading to potentially fatal complications for divers because the human body isnβt designed to breathe in air that dense. This diver went alone and was using broken/improper equipment, causing him to sink to the bottom of the ocean and get stuck there, where he died.
TIMESTAMPS
^^^^^^^^^^^
- 0:10 to 0:36 : Yuri adjusts the lens on his camera.
- 2:53 : Yuri sinks past another diver. We are able to see just how quickly he is sinking.
3:20 : Yuri makes several attempts to activate his buoyancy device.
4:35 : Around this time, Yuri seems to turn on a light to help him see as he is sinking. We can already notice the water around him getting darker.
- 4:42 : Yuri has definitely started feeling the effects of nitrogen narcosis at this point. He again tries to activate his buoyancy device. The water is now significantly darker.
4:54 : Yuri is panicking. You can hear his muffled voice as he descends. He is likely in physical pain at this point from the unnaturally potent air he is breathing.
5:07 : Yuri can be heard removing his weighted belt. He is clearly struggling to breathe from the airβs density. His monitor can be heard giving him a warning beep.
5:36 : Yuri checks his wrist monitor. I think it is telling him his current depth, 81.7. Seeing as nitrogen narcosis doesnβt typically set in above 100 feet, and that he was found below 300 feet, Iβm going to assume this is his depth in metres. This would place him approximately 268 feet below the surface. His monitor beeps again.
- 5:54 : This is the last time Yuri checks his monitor. It says he is 91.8 metres (301 feet) below the surface.
- 6:00 : Yuri can be seen aimlessly crawling along the bottom.
6:09 : Yuri tries to force air into his lungs with an extremely long and deep breath.
6:14 : Yuri collapses.
- 6:34 : Yuri begins moving erratically on his back. It has been theorized by some deep sea divers that he may be having a seizure, possibly in part due to the breath he just took.
6:49 : Yuri takes his final breaths
7:04 : We can hear healthy breathing and a new beeping noise, Yuri is no longer visible. Though the camera claims this is only a few minutes afterwards, this doesnβt sound anything like Yuri. I am convinced this is actually the recovery diver finding the camera alongside Yuriβs corpse and turning it on to see if it still works. The weird date could be attributed to the camera having malfunctioned, as it was found at over twice the maximum depth it was designed for.
- 7:10 : The camera is back at the surface after the recovery, a man turns it on for a second to demonstrate that it is still functional.

In the Tatarstan town of Zelenodolsk, a visitor died at the entrance to an alkomarket. The moment of his death was recorded by a video surveillance camera.The published footage shows the man slipping on a flat spot, falling to the tiled floor and no longer moving. The medics who arrived on the scene only stated his death.
According to the Mash Iptash Telegram channel, the family of the deceased believes that he died from the impact of the face on the tile. However, according to relatives, doctors wrote that the man died of a heart attack, which is why the law enforcers did not initiate a criminal case. Now the relatives demand that the Interior Ministry investigate the causes of the incident.

Sanjay Shah, CEO of a US-based private company, succumbed to his injuries and another official suffered serious injuries in an accident during the silver jubilee celebrations of the firm at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, police said on Friday.Shah, the CEO of software firm Vistex, and his colleague Raju Datla, the president of the firm, entered an iron cage, during celebrations on Thursday evening, intended to be lowered from a height. However, one side of the iron chain supporting the cage broke, leading to the fall of both individuals.
Vistex had arranged accommodations for its staff at Ramoji Film City and had planned a two-day celebration for its silver jubilee. "Shah and Raju being lowered from the cage onto the dais was a planned event to kickstart the celebrations," a company official told The Times of India.
"Suddenly, one of the two wires attached to the cage snapped. Both plunged more than 15 feet and landed on the concrete dais. This caused multiple injuries," sub- inspector D Karunakar Reddy of Abdullapurmet police station told the newspaper.
They were rushed to the hospital, but Shah passed away while undergoing treatment, and his colleague is in serious condition, the police said. They added that a case was registered against the Film City event management authorities based on a complaint made by another company official.
Vistex is an Illinois-based firm specialising in revenue management solutions and services. With 20 global offices and more than 2,000 employees, the company serves leading brands such as GM, Barilla, and Bayer.
Shah, the founder of Vistex, has also established the Vistex Foundation and the Vistex Institute for Executive Learning and Research at Lehigh University.
Raju Datla, who has been with Vistex since 2000, has played a key role in shaping and expanding the firm's Solution Delivery capabilities, the company's website reads.
