Comedian Nearly Crushed to Death After Freak Fridge Accident

Comedian Laura Clery says she feared she was going to die after a 600-pound refrigerator toppled onto her while she was home alone with her two young children. The 39-year-old described the ordeal on Instagram as the “most terrifying night of my life as a single mom,” revealing the appliance pinned her against a counter and left her hospitalized with serious injuries. Clery said she was home with her children, seven-year-old Alfie and five-year-old Poppy, when the refrigerator suddenly “slammed” into her. “I couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe right,” she wrote. “I could feel myself losing consciousness.” The influencer—who shares her children with ex-husband Stephen Hilton—said she was only able to call 911 because her phone happened to be in her pocket. Clery joked that while she was pinned under the fridge, she thought to herself, “This is the dumbest way anyone has ever died.” She also shared photos from the aftermath, including images of herself strapped into a neck brace and lying on a hospital gurney hooked up to IVs. Speaking on her Patreon, the comedian said the terrifying incident deeply rattled her children, recalling that Alfie “ran outside” in panic while her daughter cried as firefighters worked to free her from beneath the refrigerator.

An Australian tourist died after a horrific fall while hiking Peru’s famed Inca Trail, authorities said. Matthew Cameron Paton, a 52-year-old police officer from Victoria, Australia, was trekking the trail Wednesday with a tour group and guide when he reportedly fell through a broken railing along a steep section of the route and plunged roughly 1,000 feet, according to the BBC. Members of Peru’s high mountain rescue unit located Paton’s body on Thursday near the “50 Gradas” part of the trail after he was reported missing. Cusco Police Region chief Virgilio Velasquez said that investigators believe Paton tripped while crossing a wooden bridge and attempted to grab onto the railing before it gave way. “Unfortunately, he fell down the ravine,” Velasquez said. Paton’s devastated family said the Peru trip to Machu Picchu, one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World, had been a longtime dream and described themselves as “shattered” by the tragedy. He leaves behind his wife of 31 years and three children. According to the BBC, Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade will provide consular assistance to the family as authorities continue investigating the fatal fall.

A rare albino buffalo in Bangladesh has gone viral after social media users compared its flowing blond mane to President Donald Trump’s golden locks. Crowds flocked to see the animal ahead of Eid al-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” which falls next week. The buffalo is currently kept in Paikpara, Narayanganj. It was nicknamed “Donald Trump” because its golden mane produced what some visitors described as a striking resemblance to the U.S. president. Owner Ziauddin Mridha said the buffalo was purchased from a cattle market in Rajshahi about 10 months ago, according to NDTV. “My younger brother jokingly named it Donald Trump after seeing the hair on its head,” Mridha said. “It is very calm in nature. Albino buffaloes are generally peaceful and do not become aggressive unless provoked.” Mridha added that the buffalo had already been sold. Visitors told Bangladeshi newspaper Prothom Alo that they first learned about the animal through viral clips shared online. “When I saw his pictures on Facebook, he looked exactly like Donald Trump,” one woman said. “His facial structure and even hairstyle match that of Trump.”

NASCAR legend Kyle Busch gave a haunting interview just days before he died at 41. Speaking moments after winning the Ecosave 200 in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at Denver Motor Speedway Friday, May 15, Busch said: “You never know when the last one is.” He died on Thursday from a mystery illness. His last post on X was equally as heartbreaking. “Happy Birthday @brextonbusch!!!” Busch wrote, addressed to his 11-year-old son. “Your mom & I are so proud of who you’re turning out to be! You’re the best kid on & off the track, you amaze us every day. Keep doing what you’re doing and there is no limit to what you’ll accomplish! Love you buddy!” He also made foreboding remarks during a race at Watkins Glen International on May 10. “Can somebody try to find Bill Heisel? He’s the kindred doctor, guy. Tell him I need him after the race, please,” Busch said. “I’m gonna need a shot.” Less than a week later, he told journalists that he still had a lingering illness. “I’m still not great,” he said. “The cough was pretty substantial last week.” His family released a statement after he was pulled from the Coca-Cola 600 field last Thursday, saying he “experienced a severe illness resulting in hospitalization.”

More than 30 elementary school students in South Carolina reportedly became sick after eating snacks during a movie theater field trip. The students from Eugene Sires Elementary School began vomiting on Monday shortly after consuming food from the Cinemark theater in Summerville, according to local outlets WCSC, WCIV, and WRDW. WCSC reported that as many as 36 children fell ill, while WCIV and WRDW placed the number at 32. Around 180 students attended the trip, WCSC reported. The teacher chaperone immediately alerted school administrators, and district nursing staff responded quickly. Several students received treatment from EMS personnel and the school nurse upon their return to campus. “Student safety and care remain among our highest priorities,” the school district said in a message to parents reported by WCIV. Ashley Williams, whose daughter became ill, told WCSC the incident was “pretty scary”. She said she received a call saying poison control and EMS had been contacted because multiple students fell ill. The South Carolina Department of Public Health confirmed an investigation has been launched into the matter. Cinemark reportedly received an A rating during its most recent health inspection in February 2025.

Police had to intervene in a party attended by a host of stars, including Mick Jagger, after receiving a noise complaint. The Rolling Stones singer was enjoying a wrap party for the movie, Three Incestuous Sisters, on the Italian island of Stromboli when the celebrations were cut short by local police. Jagger and his co-stars–Josh O’Connor, Dakota Johnson, and Jessie Buckley–were said to have greeted the police’s arrival with “perplexity mixed with hilarity.” It is believed the mayor of a nearby island was the one who called the police after complaining about the noise. The 82-year-old veteran singer is playing a lighthouse keeper and the father of Connor’s character in the adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger’s graphic novel of the same name. The stacked cast also includes Saoirse Ronan and Isabella Rossellini. After the police shut down the festivities, Jagger left Stromboli the following day by private helicopter. The island’s head of tourism blasted the nearby mayor for calling the police. “One would have expected a welcome to the guests, or at least a greeting and a thank you for their crucial contribution to the Aeolian economy and their visibility. Our islands live off tourism,” said Rosa Olivia.

Ricky Martin fled the stage after a fan allegedly sprayed tear gas toward him during a concert in Montenegro on Thursday night, briefly throwing the venue into chaos. The 54-year-old Puerto Rican singer was kicking off the European leg of his Ricky Martin Live tour when “an individual discharged tear gas toward the stage,” his publicist, Róndine Alcalá, said in a statement. The incident caused an “abrupt interruption of the show as audience members moved away from the area and received assistance,” according to Alcalá. Martin and his team immediately exited the stage as a “precautionary measure” while security personnel and local authorities responded. Although members of Martin’s team reportedly advised against continuing the concert, the singer ultimately returned to the stage after authorities confirmed that “the situation was under control and that attendees could safely return.” “Ricky Martin and his team are safe and grateful for the support and concern received following tonight’s events in Montenegro,” Alcalá wrote in an Instagram caption accompanying her statement. She added that the Ricky Martin Live tour will continue as scheduled across Europe and other international stops.

Law enforcement escorted a passenger off a United Airlines flight after the person attempted to open the plane’s door at 36,000 feet and then got into a mid-air brawl. The Boeing 737 MAX left Newark Liberty International on Thursday night en route to Guatemala City, but was forced to make an emergency landing at Washington Dulles. Audio of an exchange with air traffic controllers at Dulles captures the pilot explaining that the passenger had tried to open the door and then assaulted another person traveling on the plane. A spokesperson for the airline confirmed the incident and said the six-year-old plane was met at Dulles “by law enforcement to address an unruly passenger.” They added that “the flight was canceled,” and that a replacement had been scheduled for Friday morning, with passengers provided overnight accommodation in the meantime. It’s the second such incident to have unfolded on a United Airlines flight this month, after a passenger assaulted a flight attendant and tried to enter the cockpit as one of the carrier’s planes was landing at Newark.

A star from the hit children’s TV show Even Stevens made a surprise appearance on the Fox game show The Floor after years out of the spotlight. Steven Anthony Lawrence, 35, played Bernard “Beans” Aranguren in the 2000s show and the later movie. Viewers were shocked to see their old favorite character back on their TV screens. One viewer encouraged his gameplay, commenting, “COME ON STEVEN.” The game show, hosted by Rob Lowe, features contestants competing in trivia while standing on a lit-up grid floor, where they can duel those next to them. Unfortunately for Lawrence, he couldn’t come up with the game’s final clue, running out of time and missing out on the $250,000 jackpot. Lawrence also appeared in many other well-known movies and shows, including The Amanda Show, Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat, and Cheaper By The Dozen.

A Virginia judge abruptly tossed out criminal charges on Thursday against the assistant principal accused of failing to stop the 2023 elementary school shooting carried out by a six-year-old student. Ebony Parker, who previously worked at Richneck Elementary School, had been facing eight counts of child neglect tied to the shooting that left teacher Abigail Zwerner wounded in the hand and chest. The dismissal came mid-trial just minutes before Parker’s defense team was set to begin presenting evidence. Judge Rebecca Robinson ruled Parker’s alleged failure to act after reports that the boy may have brought a gun to school “is not a crime” under current Virginia law. Robinson also argued there was “no precedent” supporting the prosecution’s legal theory and suggested any expansion of liability would ultimately have to come from state lawmakers. The boy’s mother, Deja Taylor, is serving nearly four years in prison after pleading guilty to child neglect and gun charges tied to the 9mm handgun her son took from her purse. Prosecutors argued Parker ignored multiple warnings about the child potentially carrying a weapon that day. Defense attorneys countered that Parker acted based on the limited information available at the time and “didn’t believe there was a weapon.”
