8. Israeli cricket umpire killed by ball

An umpire at a cricket match in the Israeli city of Ashdod has died after being hit by a ball, reports say.

Witnesses say a fast delivery by the bowler came off the batsman's bat, striking the wicket and then the man.

An umpire at a match in Wales died five years ago after a ball thrown by a fielder hit him on the head.
...
There were conflicting reports about how he died, with some saying that he was hit in the face, others that he suffered a heart attack after being hit in the chest.

I hadn't heard of the Welsh umpire dying. For it to happen from a rebound (which you'd have no chance of consciously avoiding, I suppose), and in Israel of all places seems tragically bizarre.
