I thought I would start this thread, as this is something that has my attention, and I'm finding examples of this every so often. Deaths that occur, and do not seem to have any logical explanation, or are quite weird. I thought I would start off this thread with one that is quite recent.

As I think people will agree, it is quite a strange affair indeed. I'll see what else i can find out, and if there has been any official conclusions made yet.
The death of a 19-year-old Chicagoan whose body was found in a walk-in freezer at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare hotel in Rosemont early Sunday sparked days of online conspiracy theories about murder and criticism of police and hotel response.
Rosemont police on Friday released nine video clips that show Kenneka Jenkins staggering alone through an empty kitchen at the hotel, but they do not show her entering the freezer where her body was found, report John Keilman and William Lee.
The videos added fresh mystery to an ambiguous case. Attorneys for Jenkins' mother, Tereasa Martin, said they will conduct their own investigation.
On Thursday, Rosemont police showed hotel surveillance video to community activist Andrew Holmes, who said he was seeking answers on behalf of the family. The video showed Jenkins wandering, apparently disoriented, into a kitchen area and walking alone into the freezer, report Keilman and Lee.
Later Thursday, however, Jenkins' mother, Martin, said she was misrepresented by the activists who called the news conference.
"He came out of the blue and acting ... like he was a friend," Martin said about one of the activists. "But he calls me this morning and says, 'Oh the hotel is not making any money. I think you need to go online and stop the protest.'"
The case struck a chord on social media with people who had their own theories as to what happened, report Keilman and Katherine Rosenberg-Douglas.
Authorities mostly kept quiet about the case, releasing few confirmed details, but a Facebook video purportedly shot in a hotel room where Jenkins was partying last Friday night has been viewed more than 4 million times, with many convinced the video proves she met with foul play.
Police say Jenkins was found dead early Sunday, nearly 24 hours after her family last heard from her. Rosemont spokesman Gary Mack said late Tuesday that police are not treating it as a homicide.
The medical examiner's office said the cause and manner of death have not been determined and that information might take several weeks.
