We Have A New Winner...

...in the World's Worst Way To Die Contest.

A 330 foot deep sinkhole in Guatemala City, caused by rains and a broken sewer main underneath a densely-populated neighborhood, sucked in a dozen houses and at least two people.

How do they know about the people? They were seen floating in a pool of raw sewage. Two people, probably just sitting at home, and then the earth literally opened up beneath their feet and drowned them in a 330 foot pit of human waste.

Not quite how I'd want to go, but that's just me.
