I'm playing in a 5e campaign right now, 10+ sessions in. Friday night before we started our DM told us about a Tinder girl he was going to meet up with that weekend so our Monk proceeds to do the most logical thing: dox the girl and post all of her info on our discord, managing to derail everyone so hard that the session has to be cancelled and pushed back to the next day.
Tomorrow comes and we encounter a legendary force of unbeatable, unkillable Assassins who proceed to kill our Monk, take our stuff, then leave.
So /tg/, what's the weirdest shit you've seen lead to a player death?

The Wild Magic table killed our sorcerer(along with the horses and wagon nearby).

That just comes with the territory of using the Wild Magic Table

This happened a long time ago now, but the druid in a low level 3e game imbibed a flask of sulphuric acid; died pretty much instantly. She rolled very poorly on her skill check to identify a collection of "potions" we'd looted from a goblin shaman; was simply told that it was a potion neutralizer by the DM, which was technically true.
As I recall, it was a handful of sessions after killing the shaman, but she had drank from a contaminated stream and and followed it up with the acid in an attempt to neutralize the magical effects of the stream. It shocked all of us since it happened so suddenly; even the DM was a bit speechless since he didn't even get a chance to ask, "Are you sure?"

But in what way? Explosion?

Level 3 fireball with himself as the center.

Considering this isn't the first time he's done something like this, probably.

i accidentally killed half of the PC because they tried to cross an underground lake in dark heresyit was obviously the psyker fault
it was awful

I don't think you could get a more generic wild magic TPK if you tried.

Luckily everyone else was fighting the monster just outside of his blast radius.

Once killed a character by wrestling a bear in a lake during a thunderstorm.

That honestly sounds pretty bad ass. Storytime?
