5. Lawrence Baker: Another Prison, Another Convict Meeting His Maker on the Toilet…

What are the chances of one man electrocuting himself on the toilet? What about two men!? Yes, this is exactly what happened to Lawrence Baker, only he died in a Pennsylvania Prison.

The convicted killer was in his cell, listening to headphones connected to the TV in January 1997. Perhaps he’d never heard of Michael Anderson Godwin, otherwise, we’re sure he wouldn’t have made his next, deadly mistake.

Without taking his headphones off, Baker decided to use the loo and, you guessed it, it was a steel toilet! Like Godwin did so many years prior, Baker died of electric shock while doing his private business.
