That's unfortunate...

In 1929 at the age of forty-nine dance revolutionary Isadora Duncan was strangled to death by her own scarf when it became entangled in the rear wheel of a Bugati sports car. She was not driving, she was being chaufferued by a car salesman with whom she had become illicitly involved.
