Speaking of unusual deaths, I nearly got death by cardboard box as a kid.
My parents had bought one of those huge TVs, and I could fit comfortably in the discarded box, so they let me play with it. I was so fascinated by this box, I lived in it the whole day, and in the afternoon, took a nap inside.
Not being the brightest kid, I turned it upside down so the opening was on the floor, neatly locked the tabs so it was completely closed, and slept in the dark. The first signs of asphyxiation woke me up, and in panic, I tore through the top of the box. Fortunately it had staples instead of packing tape. That would have been the dumbest death in my family AFAIK.
Now I always leave holes in boxes kids or pets might play inside of.
