Woman leaves party in shorts, freezes to death Oshkosh, Wisconsin
When 21-year-old Elizabeth Luebke traveled an hour and a half south from her home in Oshkosh, Wis., to Milwaukee for a concert, she wound up at an after-party wearing a tank top, shorts, and fish-net stockings — and at around 4:30 a.m. left angrily after arguing with a friend, reports Fox6now.com. It was -5.8 degrees Fahrenheit, and the wind chill was a frigid -27.5 degrees.
Security video footage from a nearby business shows her suddenly collapsing in front of a house and eventually stopping moving altogether, reports BuzzFeed. Her body was found by a passerby at 9 a.m., just around the corner from the party.
Luebke, who also went by the name Lana Kane, had frozen to death, but alcohol appears to have been a factor. A friend of Luebke's says she arrived at the party "really, really drunk," while her mother says her daughter had a history of binge drinking and had been hospitalized in October with a blood-alcohol level five times the legal driving limit, reports the New York Daily News.
Luebke wrote on her Facebook page in December that she'd quit drinking, and some of her friends said she'd been sober for the past several weeks.
Tributes online mention her as "one of the last people to deserve this," while police advise against ever walking alone in subzero temps. (This woman froze to death in Georgia trying to help her just-out-of-reach husband.)

Parachutist falls to his death in Lake Elsinore May 26, 2013
Ken Oka, of Mira Loma, was performing a maneuver with a group of
skydivers shortly after 3 p.m. when he got ensnared in the chute and
couldn’t free himself, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s
Department.
Oka landed in the 19000 block of Sweetwood Lane and was pronounced dead at a hospital, the department said.

......................................
LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. (KTLA) –
He was an experienced skydiver, with more than 5,000 jumps under his belt, and even made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for taking part in the largest aerial group formation in 2003.
Skydiving was his passion, despite a number of hard landings.
“He had broken pretty much everything, but he would get back up and just keep on going,” Oka’s girlfriend and life-partner Lynette Collins said.
Ken left instructions that if he died, he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes spread across the sky for one last jump, his family said.
Both the sheriff’s department and the Federal Aviation Administration launched inquiries into the accident.

A 24-year-old man was snatched by a crocodile as he swam across a northern Australian river with a friend
A 24-year-old man was snatched by a crocodile in front of at least 15 onlookers as he swam across a northern Australian river with a friend, police said Sunday.
Northern Territory police said the man was with a group celebrating a birthday at the Mary River Wilderness Retreat, about 110 kilometres (70 miles) from Darwin, on Saturday when he decided to plunge into the water.
"They were watching him swim across," senior sergeant Geoff Bahnert told AFP of the group.
"And they just saw a crocodile with him in its jaws."
Police conducted a search for the man, but were unsuccessful. The search was continuing Sunday, Bahnert said, adding that the largest crocodile at the site had been shot and killed as a precaution.
Reports suggested the men had ignored warnings not to swim in the river because of the risk of a crocodile attack.
"We tell people to stay away from the water, they obviously went against this (and) a man was taken," an employee of the resort, Erin Bayard, told News Corp Australia.
"We say to everybody it's full of crocs. It's one of the most populated rivers in the Territory, every couple of kilometres there is a large croc."
Saltwater crocodiles, which can grow up to seven metres (23 feet) long and weigh more than a tonne, are a common feature of Australia's tropical north.
They have been protected since the 1970s and their numbers have increased steadily since, along with the number of human encounters.
In December, a nine-year-old boy was taken by a four-metre crocodile while swimming in the Northern Territory, one month after a seven-year-old girl went missing while swimming, also in the north.

Horror as woman plunges to her death from a Texas roller coaster
Horror as woman plunges to her death from a Texas roller coaster in front of her young son
|
A woman has fallen to her death from a roller coaster at the Six Flags Over Texas amusement park in Arlington, Texas.
The accident happened on the ‘Texas Giant’ ride at about 6:45 p.m. on Friday evening.
One witness told The Dallas News that the woman had gotten on the ride with her son and that they believe she mustn’t have been strapped in correctly.
Witnesses who saw the woman tumble from the ride directed paramedics to the victim's location.
'She goes up like this. Then when it drops to come down, that's when it (the safety bar) released and she just tumbled,' said Carmen Brown of Arlington. Brown said she was waiting in line to get on the ride when the accident happened.
According to another witness, children were yelling 'we have to get my mom' when the roller coaster car pulled up at the end of the ride. Riders were hysterical and crying.
People waiting in line for the roller coaster said park employees asked them to get out of line after the accident.The park closed an area of Six Flags around the area of the accident.
Officials at Six Flags have not yet revealed details about the woman's death, but released the following statement: ‘We are deeply saddened to share that earlier this evening an adult woman died in the park while on the Texas Giant.
‘Park medical staff and local paramedics responded immediately. Since the safety of our guests and employees is our number one priority, the ride has been closed pending further investigation,’ said Sharon Parker, communications manager for Six Flags Over Texas.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends during this difficult time.’
The Texas Giant roller coaster debuted as an all-wooden ride in 1990, and reopened in 2011 redesigned with a steel track during the theme park's 50th anniversary. The ride's tallest height is 153 feet and has a drop of 147 feet.
This is the park’s second fatality. In 1999, a 28-year-old Arkansas woman died and 10 others were injured when a boat capsized on the Roaring Rapids ride.
In 2006, nine park patrons were injured on the Texas Tornado when one of the mechanical bearings that spins the ride malfunctioned.
