I always had a laugh at that Sportsbet commercial with the flat earth nutcase. I thought he was a fictional character

He is actually real

This is a little pre-emptive, the person isn't dead (yet) that I know of, but it certainly fits the brief.

A group of young adults held a coronavirus party in Kentucky to defy orders to socially distance. Now one of them has coronavirus.

Absolutely qualifies, even if the Police pushed him in. If they shot him first, likely the Crocs wouldn't have eaten him

Fearing coronavirus, Arizona man dies after taking a form of chloroquine used to treat aquariums


(CNN)A Phoenix-area man is dead and his wife is under critical care after the two took chloroquine phosphate in an apparent attempt to self-medicate for the novel coronavirus, according to hospital system Banner Health.

It does not appear they took the pharmaceutical version of the drug, but rather "an additive commonly used at aquariums to clean fish tanks," Banner Health said in a statement.
