In order
My Mum, in a chapel of rest in Bath hospital, after a car accident
An old woman lying in the street near Stade de France in 2003. It was that punishing heatwave in Europe. She had keeled over and was obviously gone
Another football one, a guy two rows behind me collapsed in Cardiff during the first half of West Ham v Liverpool, 2006 Cup Final. It was in the papers next day that he had died, it happened pretty instantly
Lenin
South Africa 2010, driving home from Soccer City after a game there was a horrendous crash ahead, when we passed there was at least one dead, just lying in the road
Mao Tse Tung
Kim il Sung
My step mum, in a nursing home, dementia
I'm not sure if eight is a lot, especially considering three of those are pretty debatable
