Thought you might be interested in the prevalence of somewhat unusual causes of death around the world, according to Nation Master. I assume each figure is for one year, and they're absolute numbers, not per capita or per million or whatever. I've listed only the leading country for each one.

Notes: Obviously these figures are very incomplete. Shouldn't be surprising that the US so often ranks first, since it's by far the biggest Western country. It's actually not that unusual to go out like Bon Scott and Jimi Hendrix in Japan. Countries that rank high in several categories, like Egypt and Mexico, probably have pretty good health care and record keeping compared to real hellholes like Haiti and Niger, where many deaths probably go unreported. I don't know why China and India don't show up in these lists. How does one die of acne or cellulitis? Next time somebody tells you no one has ever died from smoking pot, you tell them that it's responsible for four deaths a year in Mexico. And how exactly do you die of sunburn in Poland? Maybe the jokes have some basis in truth.
