Holding tank
edit- There is a holding tank for content, removed from the article due to poor sourcing, which may have been included in the article for a considerable time: Talk:List of unusual deaths/Sourcing issues. Following talk page discussion, and in line with WP:STALEDRAFT, it has been agreed that any content in this holding area not sourced within 6 months from addition should be removed.
José Luis Abad
editI'll post links here to see if this death is qualified for this page.

- The Guardian says: "
Vidal’s lawyer, Daniel Salvador, said the death was sad but accidental
", but doesn't say it was unusual. - The Independent does not seem to describe it as unusual.
- The BBC does not seem to describe it as unusual.
- The New Zealand Herald says "
"This was a commonly practised activity carried out for therapeutic or medicinal ends, but which posed a serious threat to public health despite being dressed up as what appeared to be an apparently inoffensive ancestral ritual," police said.
"
- So no, it's not eligible with these sources. But it sounds very unusual, doesn't it! Maybe should be added at Enguera? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:35, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

Richard Pananian
editRichard Pananian was a 20 year old California resident who flew from his seat and landed on a freeway sign after an automobile accident. A few days beforehand, his family sacrificed a lamb to ensure him good health from God. I don’t necessarily have a source that states the death was unusual, but it uses the synonym “bizarre”. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/losangeles/news/lamb-was-sacrificed-in-protection-ceremony-for-man-killed-in-bizarre-5-freeway-crash/ HimynameisAndre (talk) 21:39, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- The source says "died in a bizarre crash". That might be good enough, but I'd await a second opinion. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:41, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- The same article also has "The unusual nature of Pananian's death is "ironic" considering a sacrifice that was performed for him the Sunday prior, his cousin Armen Kardashian wrote in a GoFundMe page." Given both of these, I think it's a valid entry. NekoKatsun (nyaa) 22:22, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
Treadmill 18. June 2024
editCurrently the description says the window broke, but that's wrong. The window was open and the referenced article mentions that and the video clearly shows the open window. 81.217.6.16 (talk) 16:52, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
