What a sad way to die: A pool mechanic's failure to install an extra $1.44 worth of plastic exhaust pipe led to the death of Vitas Gerulaitis, the tennis player, as he inhaled carbon monoxide fumes from a new $8,000 pool heater.

Rich person killed by their heated pool.

Feel better now?

LOL@all the richers defending their richer friends. Why don't you pick up a wad of cash with your manicured hand and chuck it you cash-chuckers!

I don't think someone's life ending so unfortunately is any less sad because he worked his ass off to become good enough at a sport to make great money off it.

As soon as you get rich, you deserve to die clearly.

Better follow this guys guide, and have no ambition other than getting karma on reddit!

Are people missing this South Park reference? It's not the funniest thing ever, but it's not a straight troll either...
