Lancaster poisoned his wife, her father, her three sisters, her former fiancé, her aunt and a servant and to make it look like a local epidemic, went on to poison some of his neighbours. Lancaster was hung from his own front door at High Wray Farm and then taken by horse and cart to Poole Stang where his body was placed on a gibbet to rot away. (8 April 1672)

Saturday 5th of September 1970 (-) — Formula One racer Jochen Rindt dies in a crash while practicing for the Italian Grand Prix. Rindt was in the habit of using only four points on the five-point harness then available and did not wear the crotch straps as he wanted to be able to exit the car quickly in the event of fire. As a result, upon impact he slid under the belts and suffered fatal throat injuries.
