#3 sounds like summat a primary school teacher once did with us - only once but it was impressive at the time

 

Though it was a case of a suicide - Refrigerated lorry driver hanging with a pool of water beneath him... it was from a block of ice. Not sure about the glass though.

 

Would have thought going on the lines of Romeo and Juliet and suicide would find a similar result.

 

He also did in the same afternoon one of a fisherman in a phonebox dying covered in blood and with glass everywhere... he'd been on the phone to a mate boasting about the size of his catch.

 

Maybe it's just a merger of the two?
