* {{Serial Killer}}s [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burke_and_Hare_murders William Burke & William Hare]] alongside their wives killed sixteen people in UsefulNotes/VictorianBritain [[ProfessionalKiller in order to sell the corpses]] to universities.

* In 1987, comedian Dick Shawn was playing a politician reciting cliches. One of them was "If elected, I will not lie down on the job." He then fell down and didn't get up. The audience thought it was part of his act. When he didn't get up, there were actually catcalls from people who thought he was dragging it out too long. Finally, someone went on stage, examined him, and said "IsThereADoctorInTheHouse" Another audience member performed CPR on him, but it was to no avail. The audience didn't know if the people coming on stage to examine him were part of the act or not. They weren't: he died of a massive heart attack on stage. There is a sad irony in the fact that he had played Lorenzo St. Du Bois (the actor playing Hitler) in ''Film/TheProducers''.
