Approximately 147,079 people died worldwide on November 07, 1990. I be winning fgts unusual Deaths in 1990 * Joseph w. burrus, aged 32, an aspiring magician, decided to perform the "buried alive" illusion in a plastic box covered with cement. the cement crushed the box and he died of asphyxia. * George allen, an american football coach, died a month after some of his players gave him a gatorade shower following a victory (as it is tradition in american football). some argue this resulted in pneumonia.
