What was the dumbest way an NPC has died

so yesterday i was playing the game when i got to the manhack encounter that's when Matt (the guy who helped fight the manhacks ) got stuck in the doorway i did manage to get past but then he tripped on a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ box when i tried to go back into the room

imagine telling your ancestors who fought woolly mammoths that you got your ♥♥♥♥ packed up by a cardboard box

this is the SAME guy who fought like 4 flying coffee makers with sawblades with a pipe and he get's sent to gods domain because of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ box

so if you have any dumb ways an NPC has died let me know

I've had a few times where Combine soldiers killed themselves with another soldier's or their own grenade, which happened a lot more often in HL1

Rebels walking into hopper mines in way where they get their nearby squadmates killed but not themselves.
The famous glitch from Highway 17 where abusing triggers causes a gunship to pulverize G-man,

he didn't die from the box, he's scripted to die after a few seconds.. or something like that.

He's scripted to die when you walk a bit away from the spot and Valve even spawned a Manhack to be in that room to suggest that in the second you were gone that Manhack came in and killed him.

a headcrab under the highway bridge dropped off a 3 inches high prop and instakilled itself.
a fast zombie throwing itself off nova prospekt's cliff into the sea.
that one ep2 run where the streamer somehow killed eli by messing with a jerrycan.

Pressing X to doubt M8, because if you own Garry's Mod you see exactly when the trigger for the citizen's death happens and guess what, it's far enough for the Manhack that spawns to not be heard.

Well, I tricked a headcrab zombie in Water Hazard into punching a barrel into a corner. The ricochet triggered some wonk physics that launched the barrel back at him with enough force to kill.

Imagine me sidestepping a flying barrel, then as I'm shooting the headcrab zombie, there's a godawful cacophony of overlapping noise, followed by the barrel whizzing past me at Mach 3 to slam into the headcrab zombie that launched it.

It's like witnessing the demented love child of a boomerang and a storage container, powered by karma and psychotic physics engines.
