I think we need look no further than Alanis Morissette for advice on this issue (as I think we can substitute "apt" for "ironic", if I'm reading you right) and she is, after all, the master (mistress?) of irony. I've emailed her (
alanis.morissette@hotmail.com..) and here's her response:
"Who are you? Why are you asking me these stupid questions? Now fuck off, I've got money to count."
So she wasn't much help.
But I've got some! Historical ones, anyway:
-
Jim Fixx, who popularised regular jogging as a means of getting fit, died whilst jogging at the age of 52;
-
Jimi Heselden, the owner of the Segway company at the time, drove his own Segway off a cliff and subsequently died of his injuries;
-
Eugene Aserinsky, one of the pioneers of sleep research, died as a result of his driving his car into a tree, whilst asleep at the wheel of his car.
I'll try to think of some more current ones soon, I'm sure (now you've planted the seed of the idea in my head), but you know, it's all a bit morbid, isn't it?
