In light of the recent plane disappearances and crashes, this list takes a look at some of the weirdest, creepiest and downright terrifying unexplained deaths from history. Many have been linked to some of the grandest mysteries in human history, puzzling police and coroners alike. From the discoveries of mutilated corpses,...
