Elagabalus death

Reference number two (which looks like a personal site by the way) does not say at all that he was "murdered in his personal latrine". Wikipedia article Elagabalus, and reference therein does not say it either. --Alexandre Hocquet (talk) 03:17, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ok, without further ado, I'm removing it. Alexandre Hocquet (talk) 01:25, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Death of Wenceslaus III of Bohemia

Reference number three which is available at Project Gutenberg https://www.gutenberg.org/files/49955/49955-h/49955-h.htm#Page_117 Does not at all state anything about a death with a spear while sitting in the Garderobe. Finwe (talk) 13:26, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

On the other side of the toilet

Vincent Vega (played by John Travolta), a mob contract killer, is killed on the toilet by prizefighter Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) with a MAC-10 submachine gun in the 1994 movie Pulp Fiction.[24]

This follows a pretty loose definition of "on the toilet". Vincent Vega wasn't killed while on the toilet, he was killed attempting to leave the toilet room. I won't remove it though, since I enjoyed the movie ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ —guywan (talk • contribs) 21:55, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eglon

Eglon (king) was assassinated in the toilet. יורם שורק (talk) 15:31, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to Judges 3, Eglon was not assassinated on the toilet. However, because Ehud's caused Eglons entrails to spill out, the resulting odor lead his attendants to believe that he was using the toilet. 2600:1700:5000:2900:38B2:98AE:DF9A:F11C (talk) 17:21, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ward Bond

Ward Bond died while sitting on the toilet, but it was announced he had died in the shower. (86.150.124.105 (talk) 02:45, 16 December 2021 (UTC))[reply]

Jorge Rafael Videla
