The melting snow and lengthening icicles (by the way, the sky is still grey and dismal) reminded me of an incident that actually happened some years ago. However, I allowed myself a bit of creative freedom.
Passer-by killed by stiricide
D.U., 84, was walking along the main street when, suddenly, a 60cm icicle fell from the eaves, hit him in the head and killed him on the spot. The deceased was a World War 2 veteran and a member of a squad renown for their usurious diversions during the German occupation.

And he made it through all of that and was killed by an icicle. Wow. Great 55 my friend :)
Great story. It isn't hard to believe it's real -- nothing that ironic could be made up!
glad you both enjoyed... yep, life is often stranger than fiction
