I feel like his death was some kind of cosmic justice.

I don’t believe in any kind of higher power, but he was crippled by his inventions, which caused him to design an elaborate cable system so he could zip line around his house instead of using a wheel chair.

He got his neck caught in his zipline contraption and strangled himself getting out of bed.

Not exactly justice for the billions of lines he’s negatively affected, but it is kind of funny that he kept inventing stuff that killed people, and he was in turn killed by his last invention.

There's this hilarious line in his Wikpedia entry:

Bill Bryson remarked that Midgley possessed "an instinct for the regrettable that was almost uncanny".
