Back to 1755, a person named Henry Hall, aged 94 years, who was the oldest-known member of the Hall Family of Lighthouse Keepers that kept lights around the English and Welsh coasts, lost his life due to ingestion of a melted lead. It all started when a spark in the lamp had set the roof alight and eventually the whole of Rudyard’s Tower was engulfed in flames. He tried putting the fire out but eventually was forced to retreat down the tower. Not knowing what was lying in his destiny he looked up at the lighthouse when a molten led directly fell into his throat that later caused his death. That piece of lead is now retained in the collections of the National Museums of Scotland. Draco, Athenian law-maker, was smothered to death when appreciative citizens showered cloaks that were gifts onto a stage in Aegina. During the year 1877, an incident took place at Deadwood, South Dakota on 14th January 1877 where a person named David Lunt was shot in the saloon fight. A person named Tom Smith suddenly entered the saloon with a handgun and affirmed that if anybody moved he would shoot them. Con Stapleton (group member with David Lunt) grabbed Tom Smith and tried to disarm him. During the course of action the bullet was shot from the handgun and it hit David Lunt and struck his forehead. David survived the incident. Thereafter, he started doing his every day routine chores when all of a sudden after a period of 67 days he felt a terrible headache and died on 22nd march 1877. As per the autopsy report, David died due to the bullet shot but nobody could determine the reason as to how he survived for such a long period after the incident. -Princess Angus-
