Whiskey Legend Jack Daniel Died After Kicking His Safe Out Of Frustration
Wow, talk about a way to go. Alcohol industry legend Jack Daniel died after an ordeal with his safety in Lynchburg, Tennessee on October 9, 1911. The safe did not fall on him nor did he try detonating it with dynamite. No, he wanted to fetch paperwork inside of it but could not remember the code! He started to kick it, which did not do anything but give him an infection on the big toe. It later turned gangrenous and then spread to the other parts of his body. The good thing was that he was able to turn the business over to Lem Motlow, his favorite nephew before he died from complications.
