Rodney Marks was an Australian astrophysicist, who worked with the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at the South Pole. After a day’s work, he became violently ill. 24 hours later he would be dead. But due to the harsh weather conditions, it would be six months before his body could be transported to New Zealand for a post-mortem examination. After an excruciating wait, results showed that Rodney had died from methanol poisoning. On the base were 49 other people, trapped in the winter cold.

It was the hottest ticket in town: celebrities and millionaires streamed into the MGM Grand to watch the fight. It only took Tyson 50 seconds to knock Sheldon out. Some spectators had not even made it to their seats yet and it was all over. Tyson and Sheldon’s was not the only fight of the night. Around 8:30, an altercation had broken out in the main lobby of the MGM Grand. The man who threw the first punch was hip-hop sensation, Tupac Shakur. His entourage jumped in to support him, but the fight did not last long. Security guards at the MGM broke it up in half a minute. Tupac and his men went to the hotel where he was staying, so he could change and get ready for his midnight performance at a new club, owned by his music producer and manager, Suge Knight. But he never did make it to that performance. By the end of the night, the 25-year-old Tupac Shakur was dead.
