So I sometimes waste a little time and googlize the GMM topic just to see if I can figure out where the Krew did most of their (boopity boop-boop) research . . . WIKI has a fairly extensive listing of "Unusual Deaths Throughout History" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths that covers everything from ancient times to modern day oddities.

Here is a related article from author Jim Goad that includes most of those discussed in today's episode:
