What a way to go.Ukraine - A Ukrainian chemistry student who had the bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it in citric acid, has been found dead with his jaw blown off.
The student's jaw was believed to be blown off by exploding chewing gum.
Officers found citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the 25-year-old's body, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said.
Investigators suspect the student confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth.

Well, at least it's not a boring death. But seriously, what's wrong with chewing normal gum?

I'd be interested to know how he managed to get his hands on some other random substance that he mistook for the citric which then happened to be explosive!

I bet he blew a huge bubble and it popped killing him.

Not a very good chemistry student if he muddles up his chemicals
Not really anything else to say, can't say "aww, feel sorry for him..." It's bad, but clearly entirely his fault.
