How about this story? "[Opera singer Richard] Versalle died on 5 January 1996, while portraying Vitek (an elderly law clerk) in what was to have been the Metropolitan Opera premiere of Janáček's The Makropulos Case. Only a few minutes into the performance, and after singing the line "You can only live so long" while halfway up a 20-foot (6 meter) ladder, he suffered a fatal heart attack, and fell onto the stage." Here's the link to wikipedia, original source at footnote there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Versalle

A barfly walking home decided to take a shortcut through a cemetery. There was a full moon so, although he was staggering he didn’t worry about barking his shin on a grave marker.
But the moon went behind a cloud, he didn’t see an open grave and toppled in.
After trying to climb out, he gave up, curled up in a corner and passed out.
Same facts, but a priest comes along.
He tries to climb out as well with no success.
He prays, and the prayer wakes up the drunk.
In a thick, low voice the drunk says, “You’ll never get of here buddy ...”.
And the priest vacated the hole like a cork out of a champagne bottle.

"The priest was not immediately available for comment " -- because he was 6 feet underground on top of a coffin.

Sounds like a Dave Allen at Large skit.

I’m going out on a limb here, but I suspect this happens more than we hear about.
Weddings often have some kind of amusing goof, and they practice them ahead of time.
