Oops!

According to authorities, 63-year-old Randal Grubb leaned out of his SUV to pick up mail he dropped it onto the road.

Investigators say he then fell out of the vehicle, which dragged him down the street and pinned the man against a concrete wall.

3. And again, life imitates art.

An eerily similar scenario involving a newspaper was the opening of an episode of the HBO classic Six Feet Under.

7. If he was sending an email, he probably would have electrocuted himself.
