New Zealand Couple Killed By Train While Having Sex On Railroad Tracks! Mduduzi Michael Bandezi & Sibongile Radebe RIP

In researching - Yes, researching this story, I have come to find that the vacant Kinross railway station in  Mpumalanga, New Zealand was a haven for use by prostitutes and their johns, but the some of the tracks were still being used for train travel.  Mduduzi Michael Bandezi, 28, and   Sibongile Radebe, 25 were going at it on the tracks, when a train approached, blew its air horn, but the couple disregarded the trains warning, and were hit head on. If it's any relief Bandezi was using a condom, according to the story.

For Robert P. Schwartz's Relatives- The Party's Over- Come Claim Your Inheritance

Robert P. Schwartz was a man with a sense of humor. When the multimillionaire ad exec died, he put in his will that for his family to claim their inheritance, they would have to attend a party in his honor every August with all expenses paid- except First Class air fare. If the relative(s) did not show up they could not claim their inheritance. The will stated that the parties would go on for at least 10 years, and at that time his widow could decide if the parties would stop- and his estate would be distributed. Well it's been 10 years, and his widow signed papers ending the parties.  It's now party time for his heirs- when they receive the inheritance disbursement.
