User:Goochelaar/Notable by death
This is a just begun list of people considered notable by the English Wikipedia (in the sense that there is an article about each of them) only as a consequence of the circumstances of their death--people who died during a riot, or as result of an unusual accident, and so on. They were not especially known before and probably would not be known at large but for the way they died. Please add or point out to me more.
- Mohamed Atta and most people carring out suicide attacks
- Hawley Harvey Crippen
- John Gibson (police officer) (this article survived being a debate about its deletion)
- Carlo Giuliani, Benno Ohnesorg and several of the people appearing in Category:People shot dead by police
- Maria Goretti and perhaps other saints, especially martyrs
- Jan Palach and some of the people listed in the subcategories of Category:Suicides by methods, in particular in Category:Self-immolations (but see also Mass suicide and Cult suicide)
- Filippo Raciti
- Yukio Seki, the first kamikaze, and other kamikaze pilots (see article)
- Jennifer Strange
