I'm surprised Richard III wasn't mentioned. He died in battle after receiving (at least) 8 wounds to the head in an ill fated charge against Henry VII's front lines at the Battle of Bosworth.

Well, it's not like Richard III had an easy way out, either. He was surrounded in the battlefield, and battered, stabbed and axed down to death with halberds and swords. They even emasculated his body.

Certainly one of the smartest things he did was to set up the College Of Arms (or Heralds), whose function was, and still is, to research family trees and decide who should inherit what title - so many nobles had been killed during the Wars of the Roses, it was often difficult to determine who the proper heirs were.

The worse death is hard to determine because after so much pain the mind blacks out, and goes in a delusion state of being. Like when a person is freezing to death, at some point they feel warm. (This was found out from people who were saved from freezing. ) The mind can only endure so much pain.

@@emopower267 Thank you. Henry VIII was a victim of his times. He was raised by very strict father. His father had a doubtful claim to the throne, which made him paranoid. This paranoid was by to Henry VIII, which shaped his personality. On the negative side, Henry's dissultion of the Monasteries was brutal to the people. The Monasteries were the Social centers of the town of England. Monasteries handled the social needs of the English. Monasteries education, health needs, agriculture, orphans, and religious needs. Also, Monasteries provided banking needs, and as Inns for travelers. Monasteries became very rich, but sent 10% to Rome. Henry VIII didn't like that 10% leaving the country. So Henry liquidated the Monasteries, even melted the lead from the roofs. This meant the towns of England were left with nothing. Henry VIII's real sin was the building of large palaces. Henry VIII also killed the Lady Poe. She was an old lady, but her son had a better claim to the throne. He lived in Europe.

Mixed with cocaine its lethal to anyone with breathing problems, and massive doses is rubbish. as with the modern stuff, it can be purified to much different levels of strength. The biggest cause of over dosing is just that, taking over their bodies normal amount/dose, they get shite stuff one day so when a new batch arrives they take the new stronger version at the same amount thinking its the weak stuff they're used to. 100 quid of brown in one hit will have a non-addict nodding off and shutting down to meet the Grim reaper.

He died on the bathroom floor. I wish people who want to do historical facts on history would stop incorrectly Posting stories that are not true about Elvis Presley. Thank you that either came from his ex-wife who doesn't exactly tell the truth or his stepbrother, Billy Stanley or red and Sonny West, that I'd also like to point out we're not at Graceland when he died and do not they do not know the actual facts of where he died they were not there.
