I'd like to think that thirty years of a monastic lifestyle would help some people's karmic footprint, but in the case of Buddhist monk Reverend Seiji Handa, Nirvana is still a way off. The ill-fated religious man was unceremoniously killed by a runaway lawnmower, leaving all to wonder what this guy must have done to have received that nasty bit of karma. I mean, the guy was a monk. A monk! And he wound up dying like this? In a gruesome freak accident? I don't want to start rumors, but I think that someone must have cheated death on an airplane/highway/roller coaster. Am I right, Ali Larter?

Didn't Fabio cheat death on a roller coaster?
I didn't know Fabio was a monk. And Japanese.
