Hulda Regehr Clark has proved to be a polarizing figure among the medical fraternity and the ailing patients. She has been hailed for her “cures” by the patients while being reviled by the practitioners of alternative medicine as a fraud while victims and relatives of victims who have been robbed of their money and their health and sometimes of their life itself consider her as a woman who “preyed” on the hopes of the victims by promising them a miracle cure.
Hulda Regehr Clark (1928-2009) was a naturopath, an author and a practitioner of alternative medicine who claimed all diseases were caused by parasitic infections.
Hulda Regehr Clark studied biology at the University of Saskatchewan and her doctorate from the University of Minnesota. While her bio sketch states that she procured her doctorate in physiology, the Register of Ph.D. degrees conferred by the University of Minnesota states that she received her degree in Zoology. She also listed a Naturopathic degree from now-defunct Clayton College of Natural Health.
Clark famously claimed that all diseases, including HIV/Aids and all forms of cancer were due to Parasites and that they could be cured by “zapping”the parasites with the electrical devices she marketed. Clark has written several books on this subject and has operated numerous clinics in the United States. A string of legal difficulties and a robust investigation by the Federal Trade Commission saw her fleeing to Tijuana, Mexico, where she ran the infamous Century Nutrition clinic.
The justice system can be a bit tricky when it comes to convicting criminals for murder. Sometimes, cases stretch on for years without any evidence or clue that could lead to the culprit. Surprisingly, there have been a number of cases where the victims themselves have left clues with regards to their murder. They have been brave enough to fight the last minutes of their lives to point towards their killer. Some have supposedly come back from their graves to drop hints. We bring you 10 such unbelievable murder cases where the victim helped crack their own case.
1. Simon Ng’s last blog post helped solve his own murder. Simon blogged that his sister’s ex-boyfriend was at the house downstairs and was getting agitated. He and his sister were later found dead in his apartment. Although the accused initially denied any wrongdoing, he confessed once the police found Simon’s blog.
Simon Ng was a blogger who wrote about self-improvement. He was a lonely immigrant from Hong Kong living in New York. His parents moved back to Hong Kong and left Simon and his sister alone in their Queens apartment.
On May 12, 2005, Simon was homesick when his sister’s ex-boyfriend came to the house. Simon’s blog had the following entry that day, “Anyway today has been weird, at 3 some guy ringed the bell. I went down and recognized it was my sister’s former boyfriend. He told me he wants to get his fishing poles back. I told him to wait downstairs while I get them for him. While I was searching them, he is already in the house. He is still here right now, smoking, walking all around the house with his shoes on which btw I just washed the floor 2 days ago! Hopefully, he will leave soon, oh yeah working on the jap report as we speak!”
That was his last entry. Soon after this, Jin Lin, the ex-boyfriend, stabbed him multiple times with a butcher knife. Jin denied the murder, but when police showed him the blog post, he confessed. He said that his motive was to get money. But crime scene experts said he might have purposefully tossed stuff around the room to make it look like a push-in robbery. He also confessed to having murdered Simon’s sister when she returned home.
In 2008, Jin Lin was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole.(source)
2. A Google employee solves her own murder from beyond the grave as DNA from her nails led police directly to the killer. She fought back against her killer who sexually assaulted her before murdering her.
Vanessa Marcotte was an up-and-coming accounts manager at Google in Silicon Valley. She was visiting her mother in Massachusetts when she went for a jog. During her jog, she was attacked, raped, and murdered. Police had no clues except for discovering that Marcotte had fought her attacker. They were able to extract the killer’s DNA from beneath Marcotte’s fingernails.
Eight months after the brutal killing, DNA samples from her nails and hands provided a match with the prime suspect, Angel Colon-Ortiz. Angel was arrested and charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and assault with intent to rape and murder.(source)
3. Russ Stager’s audio tapes helped convict his wife of his murder. Russ’s death was ruled out as an accidental shooting. But Russ Stager tape recorded himself prior to his death sounding fearful for his life, asking questions like: “Why if I was asleep at 4:30 in the morning would Barbara wake me up to give me sleeping pills?”
Russ Stager, a school football coach, slept with a handgun under his pillow. So when he was found dead in his bed with a gunshot wound, his wife, Barbara Stager, told the cops that the gun discharged accidentally. The police accepted this account and ruled Russ’s death as an accidental shooting.
But months after his death, a student discovered a tape in a locker at the school where Russ worked. The tape, which he made three days before he died, revealed Russ was worried about his wife waking him up in the middle of the night and trying to feed him pills. “Last night she woke me up and gave me what she said was two aspirins,” he said. “She stood there to see if I took it. I did not take it.” He later analyzed the pills and found them to be sleeping pills.
He also went on to describe that his wife had gotten into debt, had written bad checks, and was seen “making out” with another man. He even confided his fear for his life with his first wife, Jo Lyn Snow.
Barbara was found guilty after an investigation for not only the murder of Russ but also her first husband. She was sentenced to death.(1,2)
4. Catherine’s spirit allegedly whispered “Baba” into her mother’s ear while her mother was holding the dead body. Her mother then forced the police to follow the lead passed on to her by her dead daughter. As it turned out, the accused person’s fingerprint matched those found at the scene of the murder. He was sentenced to life in prison.

In 2004, Catherine Ballesteros was found covered in blood at her home. While going through the crime scene, the authorities found a bloody footprint on the bedroom floor. They swabbed some samples for possible DNA examination. Several items were missing which led the police to believe that robbery might have been the motive. The post-mortem report said that she was stabbed 33 times.
In the funeral home, Catherine’s mother, Emer, hugged her dead daughter’s body. It was at that point when she claimed that she heard a whisper. She said that Catherine whispered “Baba” to her.
Emer forced the police to follow on this lead. The police asked around the neighborhood and found out that Catherine had a neighbor, Ryan Jay Viscarra, who goes by the name of “Baba.” Ryan was involved in robberies around the area. They located his house, but he was nowhere to be found. But three days after the murder, the suspect’s aunt gave his location to the police and he was arrested.
Ryan recounted how he committed the murder. He was found guilty and sentenced to prison. He is currently detained at the New Bilibid Prison.(source)
5. Alexander Litvinenko worked with detectives to narrow down his murderers just before his death. Alexander was hospitalized as a case of poisoning by radioactive polonium-210. Working with Scotland Yard detectives as he lay dying, he traced his murder to a former comrade in the Russian secret service. The case is still open.

Alexander Litvinenko was a former Russian spy who was working for the British at the time of his death. He was hospitalized due to radioactive polonium-210 poisoning. Prior to his death, he was investigating corruption among senior Russian officials. He met two former Russian agents at a hotel in London.
Litvinenko had tea with Andrei Lugovoi and one other former agent, Dmitri Kovtun. Soon, Alexander fell ill and died after just three days. But in those three days, he worked with detectives to narrow down the search for his killers. He remembered that there was a certain pot from which only he had poured tea into his cup. Authorities searched and conducted tests on nearly every bit of crockery in the cafe where he’d taken the poison.
One particular teapot in the cafe answered the question as to whether it was poisoning and what caused it. Police discovered the poison was the radio-active and fast-acting polonium. There was enough in the teapot’s spout alone to kill several people. Unknowingly, the cafe staff had put the used teapot into the dishwasher and served it up to customers.
In 2007, Britain’s director of public prosecutions charged Lugovoi with the murder. Even after having enough evidence, Russian police refused to hand over Andre and the other agent. Moreover, public inquiries have come to the conclusion that Litvinenko’s murder was “probably” approved by President Putin. The case is still not closed.(source)
6. Teresita Basa’s supposedly possessed a woman to speak about her murder. During a trance, the possessed woman named the killer and described a way to catch him. She said they would find Teresita’s stolen jewelry with the killer’s girlfriend. Surprisingly, that is what the police discovered.
In 1977, Teresita’s body was discovered burned and unclothed with a kitchen knife sticking out of her chest and covered by her burning mattress. The murder investigation went cold after a couple of months due to few leads.
But everything changed when the police were contacted by a Dr. Jose Chua. Dr. Chua said that his wife, Remy, was possessed by the spirit of the murdered girl. She would go into a trance from time to time, and during one such episode, she named the murderer as Allan Showery. She stated that Showery went to the apartment of Teresita in order to fix a television set and stole jewelry that was purchased in France as a gift from Teresita’s father to her mother. Remy also said that Showery gave the stolen jewelry to his girlfriend. She also gave names, details, and phone numbers of people who could identify the jewelry.
Sure enough, everything Remy said during her trance proved to be true. Showery caved-in under the weight of the evidence and gave a full confession.
Although the paranormal side of the case sounded fascinating, it was later found out that Remy worked with the victim and was quite familiar with her life. She was also aware that Allan Showery frightened Teresita. Did she just make up the trances so that Showery could blame only Teresita’s spirit and not Remy for getting caught? How did she know it was him? Was she really possessed? That still remains a mystery.(source)
7. A 15-year-old’s voice saying “I don’t want to die” captured on a cell phone video helped the police arrest her murderer. The video had a black screen, but the voices were quite clear. In the video, it was clear that her teenage boyfriend allegedly raped her and then strangled her to death.
Karen Perez was fifteen years old and had just completed her first year of high school in June of 2016. She went missing that same month. Initially, her family, community, and even her boyfriend helped search for her and spread the word of her disappearance. Within days, her body was found partially nude and crammed into a cabinet under the sink in an empty apartment in Houston, Texas.
Even though she seemed helpless in death, Perez left texts on her cell phone and her boyfriend’s cell phone that clarified what happened to her. Those text messages revealed that the boyfriend demanded she skip school on the day she disappeared. His messages even came with a threat, with his final text stating that if she refused to meet him, he would kill her and that her life would “end on bloods.”
More incriminating evidence was found on the boyfriend’s cell phone that contained video with only audio preserving Perez’s last moments alive. Police listening to the video could hear the boyfriend demanding Perez have sex with him, even calling her by name. She refused him and he began choking her. Perez cried out, “I don’t want to die!” towards the end of the recording. The boyfriend was charged with murder and taken to juvenile court for prosecution.
Why did the boyfriend make the video with only sound? Why didn’t he erase it later? Did Karen somehow turn the recording on during the struggle? We will never know.(source)
8. Amarjit Chohan hid the address of his murderer in his socks. According to media reports, Chohan was held prisoner by his murderer for some time. During this time, Chohan must have realized that he would be killed. So, he hid the murderer’s address in his socks.
Amarjit Chohan was an English resident and businessman. He was murdered in 2003 along with his wife, children, and his mother-in-law. His killers dumped his body in the water thinking they had destroyed any and all evidence of their vicious crime. And yet, Amarjit himself gave a clue to the police when his dead body was discovered.
A piece of paper was found tucked into one of his socks. It was a letter that was addressed to one of his murderers, Kenneth Regan. The subsequent police investigation led to the conclusion that Chohan was kidnapped by Regan, Bill Horncy, and Peter Rees. He was tied up and held a prisoner in a house for several days. Police speculate that Chohan, anticipating his own murder, used the letter in his sock as a way to provide police with a clue.
The note was overlooked when the body was first examined. It was only months later, when forensic scientists were examining the sock, that they discovered the piece of paper. Although the letter was soaked with seawater, the ink remained legible because it had been folded over many times, always with the ink on the inside. Chohan definitely wanted his murderers to pay for what they had done.(source)
9. A teen murder victim turned on the audio recording on her cellphone to record the voice of her murderer. She even took a photo of the murderer who killed her and her friend. A suspect has been arrested recently.
On 14 February 2017, the bodies of Abigail Williams and Liberty German were discovered on an American hiking trail in Delphi, Indiana. The young girls had disappeared from the same trail the previous day.
The pair was just taking a walk on the hiking route. Sensing a man following them, Liberty took a grainy image of a man walking towards them. She also turned on her audio and police found a clip that consisted of three words in a man’s voice: “Down the hill.” Authorities have indicated that more evidence relating to the suspect was found on the phone, but it will not be released so as not to “compromise any future trial.”
In September 2017, a possible suspect was identified resulting in the arrest of Daniel J. Nations, a registered sex offender. The case is still open.(source)
10. Nadine Haag’s death looked like a suicide. But, she left a note hidden behind the suicide note in her own handwriting pointing to her ex-boyfriend as the murderer. The note clearly said, “He did it.” During that time, she was in a custody battle with her ex-boyfriend.
At first glance, the police thought that Nadine Haag had committed suicide in 2009. Her lifeless body was discovered with a slashed wrist in her shower. There was even a suicide letter in her handwriting, but her family refused to believe it. They had a suspicion that her violent ex-boyfriend, Nastore Guizzon, had staged her murder to look like a suicide.
Haag had been in a custody battle with Guizzon. Moreover, the cut on her wrist, which was almost to the bone, was excessively deep for a suicide. Forensics also found pills missing from a bottle as if she’d taken them before slitting her wrists. But nothing showed up in the scans.
What police hadn’t originally noticed was the scrap of paper behind her suicide note which read: “He did it.” Three years later, the same words were discovered etched on the bathroom wall by new tenants who had moved into the house where Nadine was murdered. In 2013, the coroner disagreed with the initial police finding of suicide, but there was still nothing to physically place Guizzon at Haag’s apartment the day of the murder.(source)
The story of David Reimer is a terribly sad one. Born to Janet and Ronald Reimer on August 22, 1965, he had to undergo a transformation that he had no say in when he was just a baby. For fourteen years since his birth, he was brought up as a girl and made to attend traumatic, therapy sessions for sex reassignment. It all came out when, in 1997, Milton Diamond, a sexologist, convinced David to tell his story to discourage doctors from doing the same to other children. After that, he went public about his predicament through Rolling Stone magazine, and later a book named As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girlwas published. Here is the story of David’s life and how what he had to go through finally drove him to suicide.
When still a baby, David Reimer, born Bruce Reimer, was circumcised on April 27, 1966 to correct a condition called “phimosis”. However, the surgery failed resulting in irreparable damage to his penis.
Bruce Reimer and his identical twin Brian Reimer were taken to a urologist by his parents when they noticed something abnormal when the boys urinated. They were both diagnosed with phimosis and referred for circumcision at the age of just seven months. Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin of a penis cannot be pulled back resulting in balloon-like swelling during urination and pain during erection but otherwise is harmless. The surgery was first performed on Bruce using the unconventional method of cauterization. Bruce’s penis was badly burnt during the operation and was beyond surgical repair. So, the doctors chose not to operate on his brother Brian whose phimosis corrected itself without any surgery.
In 1967, worried about his future, Bruce’s parents consulted psychologist John Money who claimed that Bruce was more likely to have a successful and functional sexual life as a girl. He persuaded them to let Bruce undergo sex reassignment surgery.
John Money was a psychologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland who was gaining fame as a pioneer in the field of sexual development and gender identity based on his research on intersex patients. Money was a supporter of the “Theory of Gender Neutrality” and believed that gender identity was a result of social learning and could be changed through behavioral intervention. After seeing his interview on TV in February 1967, the Reimers took Bruce to see Money. Money and his team persuaded the Reimers to believe that sex reassignment surgery was the best option for Bruce.
At twenty-two months of age, Bruce underwent surgery in which his testes were removed and a vulva was created. He was renamed “Brenda,” and Money provided psychological support for the reassignment which also served as an opportunity to further his research.
After the reassignment and surgery, Money continued to see Bruce every year for consultations and assessments. For Money, Bruce was the perfect test case for gender identity as a socially learned aspect of a person’s sense of self-identity. His brother Brian Raimer made an ideal control subject as the brothers shared genes, family environment, and womb. Also, Bruce was the first male infant with no prenatal or postnatal sexual abnormalities on whom sex reassignment and reconstruction surgery were performed.
According to Bruce, the twins were forced to enact sexual acts which Money reasoned was all part of healthy childhood sexual exploration that leads to adult gender identity. By the time he was thirteen, Bruce developed suicidal depression which led to discontinuation of therapy.
Bruce said that Money forced him to assume the female role going on all fours while Brian had to make thrusting movements with his crotch against Bruce’s buttocks, or have Bruce spread his legs with Brian on top. They were also made to take their clothes off to explore each other’s genitals. On at least one occasion, Money took a photograph of them during these acts. Though Money wrote that Bruce exhibited clearly female behavior, according to the notes from a former student at his lab, his parents had lied about the success of these experiments.
Since the surgery and until his teenage years, Bruce had to urinate through a hole in his abdomen and was given estrogen to encourage breast development. His parents discontinued follow up visits when Money pressured them for another surgery to construct a vagina. At age thirteen, Bruce developed suicidal depression and threatened to kill himself if there were to be any more visits to Money. On March 14, 1980, his parents told him the truth about his gender after which he decided to reassume his male identity and changed his name to David.
On May 4, 2004, overwhelmed by the problems he was facing, David shot himself in the head with a sawed-off shotgun in a grocery store’s parking lot.
David had undergone numerous surgeries to reconstruct his penis and have his breasts surgically removed by 1987. He also started taking testosterone injections. He married Jane Fontaine on September 22, 1990, and adopted her three children. However, his brother Brian suffered from schizophrenia after the experiments and died due to an overdose of antidepressants on July 1, 2002. Adding the difficult relationship with his family and his brother’s death was his unemployment. On May 2, 2004, his wife told him she wanted to separate, and two days later David committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. [source: wikipedia]
Pictures speak a thousand words. Yes, that’s true. But there are a few pictures that can actually leave you speechless. Some such photos capture the last moments before something terrible happens. And you would be amazed to see how unintentional and accidental these photos are. We bring to you 12 such photos taken right before something bad happened.
1. Photo taken split seconds before PSA 182 collided with a private airline and killed all 135 people on board and seven on the ground.
On Monday, the morning of 25 September 1978, a Boeing 727-214 commercial airplane, PSA flight 182, collided mid-air with a private aircraft, a Cessna 172. It became one of the deadliest aircraft disasters in California with a death toll of 144.
PSA 182 had 135 passengers on board, and the crash also killed seven people on the ground including two children. Both the pilots of the private aircraft were killed on impact. Nine people on the ground were injured severely, and 22 homes were destroyed or damaged.
The reason for the crash was the pilots of PSA182 were unable to see the private aircraft as it was just below them, and it’s color blended with the color of the houses below. The collision happened at about 2,600 feet from the ground.
The picture above was taken by photographer Hans Wendt of the San Diego County Public Relations Office who was attending an outdoor event. He was able to capture two photographs of the aircraft after the collision, with one depicting its right wing burning. The San Diego Union-Tribune was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1979 for its coverage of the crash.(source)
2. On 28 January 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded during its flight killing all crew members. This photo of the crew, smiling at the camera, was taken just before the explosion.
When the tenth flight of space shuttle Challenger took off, as part of the NASA shuttle orbiter mission, it exploded within 73 seconds of taking off. All seven crew members, including five astronauts and two payload specialists, were killed. The explosion happened because the o-ring seal on the spacecraft’s solid rocket booster failed during take-off. The o-ring was actually not designed for cold temperatures.
The photos above of the crew were taken just before they were about to board the spacecraft.(source)
3. Ninety-six football fans lost their lives at the 1989 FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. This photo was taken when the disaster was just about to happen.
Known as the “Hillsborough Disaster,” the 1989 semi-final game between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was the site of a disastrous human crush at the stadium. Fatal errors by the management were responsible for the disaster.
It started when hundreds of Liverpool fans stormed towards the stands allocated to them. Seeing the crowd, a standing police officer contacted the control room to delay the game in order to ensure the safety of the fans. The request was declined and more fans kept pouring into the stadium. If that was not enough, David Duckenfield, the police chief in charge of the match, ordered Exit Gate C to be opened. This led to more fans climbing into the stadium which was already overcrowded. With people piling up on the stands, the people who were already in were pushed up hard against the perimeter fencing. Many tried to desperately escape by climbing onto the pens, but many of them were crushed by the massive human force that was building up behind them. In moments, a football field turned into a killing field.
Out of the 96 people who were fatally injured, only 14 of them could make it to the hospital. All 96 of them lost their lives that day, with the youngest one being the 10-year-old Jon-Paul Gilhooley, cousin of Steven Gerrard, who later went on to become Liverpool F.C.’s captain. The photos above depict the last moments of outcry before many succumbed to their deaths.(source)
4. This is a 1942 photo of a woman jumping to her death from the eighth floor of the Genesee Hotel.
On 8 May 1942, Russel Sorgi, a photographer at the Buffalo Courier-Express, was returning home from the office. He decided to take a different route that day. Minutes later, he noticed a police car sweeping right past him. He decided to follow it sensing an opportunity.
He finally reached the Genesee Hotel where a woman was sitting on the edge of the window outside a room on the eighth floor. It looked like she was about to jump. Sorgi recalled, “I snatched my camera from the car and took two quick shots as [Miller] seemed to hesitate . . . As quickly as possible I shoved the exposed film into the case and reached for a fresh holder. I no sooner had pulled the slide out and got set for another shot than she waved to the crowd below and pushed herself into space. Screams and shouts burst from the horrified onlookers as her body plummeted toward the street. I took a firm grip on myself, waited until the woman passed the second or third story, and then shot.” The photo above was the one captured by Sorgi.
Later, the New York Times reported that the woman was Mary Miller who had committed suicide.(source)
5. Rapper Jadiel took this last selfie while riding his motorcycle and uploaded it to Instagram before his death.
Ramon Gonzalez, commonly known as Jadiel, was an American rapper. He gained popularity on songs like Si Tu No Estas Aqui, Fashion Girl, and Sol y Arena. On May 10, 2014, Jadiel was riding his bike when he decided to post a selfie to Instagram. He was wearing his helmet as well his face protector in the photo. Hours later, on the same day, Jadiel lost control of his bike and hit a car going in the opposite direction. The caption of his last Instagram selfie, that you can see above, was “On the road in New York.”(source)
6. This photo was captured moments before a forest fire which came to be known as the “Yarnell Hill Fire.” It took the life of 19 firefighters who were working to contain the fire.
The Yarnell Hill Fire is considered as the third deadliest wildfire, and also the sixth deadliest disaster for firefighters, in the history of US. The fire broke out on 28 June 2013. Two days later, the fire took the lives of 19 firefighters of the 20-man crew. The only survivor was 21-year-old Brendan McDonough who was serving as the lookout during that time.
High-velocity winds and a long-term drought have been identified as the cause for the fast spread of the fire. By 1 July 2013, the fire spread across 8,300 acres, and the nearby areas had to be evacuated. It was only on 10 July 2013 that the fire was declared to be 100% contained.
The photo above was taken just before the fire took the lives of the 19 firefighters.(source)
7. A Filipino politician captured his murderer in this photo before being shot and killed.
A Filipino politician, Reynaldo Dagsa, perfectly captured his murderer just before he was shot and killed. Dagsa was celebrating New Year’s Day with his family and went ahead to take a picture of his wife and kids. Just then, a man shot him in the head. In the picture, it is clearly visible that the man is pointing a gun at Dagsa.
The shooter was identified as Arnel Buenaflor, a member of the Pasaway Gang. Apparently, people associated with Dagsa were involved in a shootout with the gang months earlier. The murder of Dagsa was done for revenge.(source)
8. Andrey Retrovsky accidentally fell from a nine-story building trying to post the perfect Instagram photo. This is what his last photo looked like just before he fell to his death.
Deaths from trying to take the perfect selfie or the perfect photo have haunted the world for quite some time now. But nothing can be more disheartening than the death of a 17-year old boy who lost his life trying to get the perfect picture to post on Instagram.
The above photo is the last photo of Andrey Retrovsky who was trying to get a shot that looked like he was falling from a building. Unfortunately, he actually fell. Even though he was secured with a rope, it was unable to hold him once he started falling.
Reports say that he didn’t die immediately but succumbed to his injuries a few hours later.(source)
9. Robert Overacker was raising awareness for charity by planning to jet ski over Niagara Falls and deploy a parachute to land safely. But somehow, his plan failed, and this picture captured the last seconds of his life before he drowned in the water.
Robert Overacker was a stuntman from California. On October 2, 1995, he planned to jet ski over Niagara Falls, deploy a parachute, and safely land on the other side. He had been planning this stunt for years and attempted twice before but was talked out of it by his family. But on 2 October 1995, he finally decided to go ahead with it.
Overacker had specially designed parachutes with thrusters that were supposed to deploy as soon as he let go of the jet ski. But something went wrong and the parachute didn’t open. Overacker fell to his death in Niagara Falls. Below is a video that captured his stunt:
10. A 14-year-old boy fell to his death on takeoff from Sydney Airport after hiding in a wheel well. An amateur cameraman was testing out his camera when he accidentally captured the fall.
Keith Sapsford, a 14-year-old boy, was hiding on the wheel well of a plane owned by Japanese Airlines. Apparently, he was attempting a stow away on the plane. As the plane took off, Keith was thrown out of the wheel well as the plane changed pitch.
An amateur Australian photographer, John Gilpin, was taking photos of planes taking off when he accidentally got a shot of Keith’s fall. Gilpin didn’t know any of this until he developed his film a week later. The photo was first seen in the Life magazine.(source)
11. A photographer was taking snaps of air pollution on the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge when his camera lens captured a man committing suicide. Seconds later, a woman jumped in.
An unnamed reporter was working on the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge taking photos of the air pollution that had been blanketing the bridge when his camera captured something he never expected to shoot. He didn’t realize that when he was concentrating on the settings of his camera, he accidentally captured a man jumping to his death from the bridge.
The reporter later recalled, “To be honest I didn’t even see the first person jump because I was concentrating so much on the camera settings, and I didn’t realize at first that I had snapped the man jumping to his death.” It was only when people started screaming that someone had jumped that the reporter looked up and heard the man hit the waters. Seconds later, a woman jumped from the exact same spot. Above is a photograph taken by the reporter.(source)
12. Paul Walker, moments before his car smashed into a pole and took his life.
None of us can forget the day we got the news that Paul Walker was no more. Moments before his ghastly death, Paul Walker was photographed leaving a charity event with his friend and financial advisor Roger Rodas in a red Porsche. Less than a minute later, their car hit a post and burst into flames claiming the beloved actor’s and his friend’s life. These photos depict his last moments.(source)
