Unusual Deaths In 2017 That Made Us Go, “WTF?”

But some 2017 WTF deaths made particularly grim and shocking impressions. So brace yourselves and hug someone you love.

Because these are the 2017 WTF deaths that scared us half to… well, you get it.

Judith Permar

In Natalie, PA, 56-year-old Judith Permar was found dead of hypothermia and blunt force trauma. The cause? A donation box for clothes. As she rummaged through the box on a step ladder she brought, Permar slipped.

The box lid closed, breaking her arms, and she hung dangling overnight until she died.

Permar was not donating clothes — this is the second time she drove up to one in the middle of the night to take some clothes. Her daughter, Angela Minnig, posted a now-deleted Facebook tribute: “She was such a fun loving person and we know it would mean the world to her to say ‘See you Again.

’”

Debra Bedard

In Wallace, CA, 58-year-old Debra Bedard was flung from a golf cart during an accident on their private olive orchard. Bedard landed on top of broken glass shards that came from the two wine glasses she was holding. The injuries sustained were fatal.

The golf cart was being driven by Bedard’s long-term boyfriend, Richard Clarke. Though he was intoxicated, California Highway Patrol Officer Rebecca Myers said that “the driver’s actions did not cause the collision or fatal injuries.”
