Electric Bathtub Blues
1994 Darwin Award Winner
Confirmed True by Darwin

(11 March 1978, France) The singer Claude Francois, whose stellar career can be compared to that of Elvis Presley, popularized rock and roll music in France. One evening, he returned to his Paris apartment from a busy touring schedule, and ran a bath. While standing in the filled tub, he noticed a light bulb that wasn't straight, tried to straighten it... and was electrocuted.

Au revoir, Claude.

Reader comment:
"How do you pronounce that, Claude or Clod?"
