Italian surfer dies after being impaled by swordfish in ‘freak accident’ - National | Globalnews.ca
Local officials said Giulia Manfrini was surfing off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia when she was 'unexpectedly' impaled by a swordfish bill into her chest.

That's a sailfish, not a swordfish. Fastest fish in the sea.
-
The picture's been updated, I guess they realized their mistake.
-
Pretty sure the pictured fish is a swordfish. Sailfish have, you know, “sails”
Well actually now I’m not sure. The thumbnail has a picture of a sailfish, but the article a picture of a swordfish
-
-
That's really sad and sucks for her friends and family.
-
But honestly, it's a pretty badass death compared to "died of cancer at 64".
-
I completely agree, but would you rather your tombstone said something about your accomplishments in life, or something seriously awesome like "impaled through the chest by a fucking swordfish"

"Siregar said Manfrini was “unexpectedly” struck by the swordfish"
I mean, the alternative is you were expecting it...
-
Sometimes you expect it. But only when they tell you first.
-
Nah, I no-likea that. I changed it.

-
First they came for Steve Irwin and I said nothing...
-
Well they don't call it a swordfish for nuthin'!
-
It's like death by Looney Tunes.
-
-
Wtf?!
-
Did they get revenge by murdering the swordfish like we do to the captive animals at zoos?
-
That was not on my bingo card
-
It says she was pierced 2" into her chest. That's all it took to kill her? That's nuts
-
Depending on where on her chest it went in, maybe it punctured a lung? Not sure if your heart can be reached within 2 inches anywhere around your chest.
-
3.2 cm is average depth from skin to heart at its closest point to the outside. 6% of individuals is just 1.7 cm.
So 2" can be plenty to poke at it.
