About this episode
Colin & Jame explore the most absurd and avoidable deaths throughout history.
The Titan submersible, drinking 1,400 radium-infused bottles, and the man who took a dip into a thermal hot spring: what are the dumbest deaths in history? And why are there so many selfie-related deaths? In this episode, Colin & Jame wend their way through the macabre (and sometimes darkly comic) world of silly - and usually completely avoidable - deaths through history.
