pqr Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Talking with the children today we were trying to think of famous, or infamous, individuals who have died in the tub. Marat jumps to mind, as does Morrison, but I know there must be more. Any help? Edited March 9, 2009 by pqr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ria Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Well, dh's cousin did, but he wasn't famous. He was running a bath for his 2-year old daughter, had a seizure and fell unconscious headfirst into the tub. He drowned. It was pretty awful.

Ali in OR Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I thought Mark Twain's daughter did--another seizure case. You might want to check my facts on that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixpence1978 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I must admit, I only came up with the 2 I listed because I typed "died in the bathtub" into google. I actually didn't have that in my knowledge bank before hand. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
