Bo Diaz.

On November 23, 1990, Diaz was killed when a satellite dish that he was adjusting on the roof of his home in Caracas, Venezuela fell on him

also strange
Diaz was part of an extremely unlikely event spanning thirteen years. On January 6, 1973, Diaz caught for minor league pitcher Urbano Lugo, Sr., in a no-hit-no-run game when the Leones del Caracas defeated the Tiburones de La Guaira 6-0. Thirteen years later, on January 24, 1986, Diaz was the catcher for another no-hitter in a 4-0 Caracas' victory over La Guaira. This time, the pitcher was Urbano Lugo, Jr., son of the elder Lugo.
