Thanks to the readers around the world, we have reached another milestone. This is page # 200 for Kerrian\u2019s Notebook<\/em>.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Hear Hammett barking? And the shovels clanking?<\/span><\/p>\n

When Kerrian\u2019s Notebook<\/em> came into being, Charlie and Sheila Kerrian never expected to be around for 200 pages, not counting the additional posts devoted to our famous (or is that infamous?) Visiting Detectives. That\u2019s a ton of cases, a ton of fun, facts, and a few dead bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

In honor of that milestone, we have come up with a few more ways to die an unnatural death, bringing the total on our deadly lists to a lethal 200.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unnatural death<\/strong> is a category used by coroners and Medical Examiners for classifying human deaths that can\u2019t really be described as death by natural causes. It might cover events such as accidents, homicide, clueless behavior, being attacked by wildlife, or even war.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep in mind that law enforcement personnel only investigate these deaths if foul play is suspected. Criminal intent is not always apparent, and autopsies are only conducted when suspicious circumstances surround the corpse\u2019s demise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many thanks to all of you that contributed to our earlier lists. It wouldn\u2019t have been as much fun without your (sometimes nefarious) methods of offing some unlucky souls.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n
