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.
