Final Exits: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of How We Die (Edited Edition)

Considering the subject is often seen as heavy or taboo, I wonder what motivated the balance of wit and seriousness in this book.

Some anecdotes made me chuckle while others made me think deeply about mortality. Are there particular stories that resonated or felt surprising to others?

The selection seems broad and nuanced. I'm curious whether this was driven by personal interest, historical significance, or a desire to challenge perceptions.
