| How they went | Composer | Year |
| Was locked out of his house by his wife after going out with his mates and caught pneumonia | |
| Crushed under a falling bookcase whilst reaching for a copy of the Talmud | |
| Stung by a bumble bee and died from the poison in his blood | |
| Stabbed himself in the foot with his conducting staff and died of gangrene | |
| Went out for a cigarrette after the signing of the armistice. An American sniper didn't know the war was over and shot the small light in the dark | |
| Drank a glass of unboiled water and died of cholorea. A suidice attempt to end his depression and to avoid a trial which would convict him of homosexuality or a mere mistake? | |
