I've thought about my death a lot, and of course there's a lot I don't understand. But I do know this. I want my death to be newsworthy because of my life's accomplishments. I do not want news of my death to contain the phrase "Investigators are baffled."
See, I want to be admired after I die because I'd done something good or important or inspirational when I was alive. It's hard to admire the kind of person whose death leaves investigators baffled. I don't care if you split the atom, it's hard to respect someone who gets themselves locked in a filing cabinet or chokes on their own foot.
When I die I want people to say "that Chris Sartinsky, he made the world a better place." I don't want them to say "how the hell did he get his head stuck inside the light bulb if he was wearing that oversized nacho sombrero?"
