Has anyone else watched this show on Spike TV? Apparently, it's supposed to be "factual" I'm not sure if it is or not? Anyone got some info on if it is or not? Some deaths seem to be entirely plausible, others not so much...

the creator of the show was on The Adam Carrola show, he has also created monster garage, deadliest catch and manswers. He said that the names are changed and the stories are embelished but the death is the same. When asked "How did you come up with the show" he said he googled wierd deaths.

I miss that show, and monster house for that matter.
I thought some of the deaths were far fetched as well, but still and interesting show.

As long as you dont mind talking about it, Im curious as to what kinda stuff you saw. A little morbid but...
Craziest story I ever heard was from a former "Girl Friend" who was an EMT. Said they got a call from neighbors claiming the chimeny smoke smelled like burning flesh.
They got to the house and had to break in. Dood and his chick were sooo pumped up on Heroine (or something like that), he was chopping off her limbs and throwing them in the fire. She thought it was funny and would laugh (according to his story)... By the time the police and ambulance got there, he threw in her torso with no limbs left to cut off and she was in the firepit laughing. She died pretty quick after.
Met a female cop a few months back who also had a cool story. She and another female cop were called to a house that "smelled". They knocked on the door and no one would answer. So, first lady cop went in through the kitchen window. Secured the area and lady cop #2 comes in behind her. Both have flashlights and weapons drawn. They clear the whole house and end up in one of the bedrooms with a headless corpse in there. Laying neatly in the bed and covered with a sheet. On their way back out, they check the fridge and find the head. Except the eyeballs were missing. They decided to get the hell out of the house and wait for backup. When they climbed back out the window, the one lady cop I met said she felt something under her boot. She used her pen to scrape her boot and found en eyeball stuck to her boot.
Needless to say, she'll NEVER go into a house at night without backup again.
To make the story even better, after backup arrived. Coroner on site removing the body. Dood who ownes the house comes strolling up like nothing and asked if he could get past the police line. He left something in the house and needed to go in for it. He obviously was arrested on site.
This one comes from my X's cousin. He was called to a scene as a rook. Female missing for a couple of days/neighbors complaining of stench. They opened up the garage door to find the lady naked in her car. The keys were in the RUN position. The car had a dead battery and was out of gas. She committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. The best part of this story, her flesh looked like a thanksgiving turkey. The heat from the car/garage/engine/exhaust cooked her body alive. Her eyeballs melted out of her head. One was stuck on the steering wheel. The other was on the floorboard.
Another one from the X's cousin. Last one for tonight.
Dood on a crotchrocket riding N on Tramway at 100+. Car came out from a side road and dood lost control of his bike. Skid bike to the side of the road and hit a fire hydrant with his body. When the police arrived on scene, they found his torso, head (in the helmet) two arms and one leg. Couldn't for the life of them figure out where the other leg was. One cop found a puddle of blood and looked up. His leg was stuck in the power/phone lines above head.

Comming home from vacation a few years ago it was raining, come around a corner and see a car on its side on the highway. We were the first ones there. I got out of the car first and found the driver ejected through windshield laying facedown on the road, a steady stream of blood comming out of his mouth. This guy was just convolsing. I thought he was ****ed. Needless to say after that I always wear my seatbelt. Never found out it the guy was ok or not though

I still watch Deadliest Catch when it's on....
Oh man what a way to start the morning hearing about melting eyeballs hahaha!
Dad's friend was driving up Snoqualmie (sp?) Pass on his way to Seattle, son was in the passenger seat, there was a couple on a motorcycle in front of him that kept turning around to look at the pretty mountains. While going around a corner they both turned to look back at the scenery and he drifted into oncoming traffic, worst of all that oncoming traffic was a semi. The girlfriend basically got mangled on the grill, once EMT's arrived, my dad's friend and some good samaritans couldn't find the guy's body. Finally, one of the EMT's checked farther down the truck and found the guy wrapped up in a wheel and axle

I almost witnessed something like that a month or so ago. I was with a guy in his lifted F350 (not to name any names JAFO) headed north on Tramway. The goober I was with JAFO decided to pass a slower moving vehicle on the right. Too bad the lane on the right was a merge lane and almost immediately ended. Suddenly, while we're cruising at break-neck speed up the shoulder of the road, there appeared in the headlights a guy on a bicycle. This crazy ****er JAFO swerved to the left and barely missed the car he was passing. Very lucky for the guy on the bike. Would not have been enough left to recognize.

I'm not sure what an "E ticket" is. But if it's for the scary rides, it's accurate in this case.
