British comedian Tommy Cooper also died on stage and, again, the audience thought it was part of the act when he slumped down near the curtain.

Also, "Electrocuted to death" is redundant - it is only possible to be electrocuted to death, because if you don't die you haven't been electrocuted!

1. He wanted it to make gunpowder, and
2. England has been at war with someone (including itself) for pretty much the last 1000 years!
