Where can I find statistics on unusual deaths?

I'm looking for statistics on unusual (and potentially funny) ways to die. For instance, "X number of people annually are crushed by vending machines" or "X number of people are killed by hitting a deer with their car". Ideally I'd like a nice long list, but if you happen to simply know (and have a source for) an unusual cause of death statistic, feel free to put that as an answer.

Where can I find statistics on unusual deaths?
See the Wikipedia link below - it is just what you want.





These are from the other link below:


Lest we minimize the loss of innocent people in 2003, lets put this number in perspective by comparing other accidental deaths.

Falling over furniture: 785


Falling down stairs: 1,598

Bee, hornet, wasp sting: 54
