America's Funniest Home Videos is a program on ABC, made up of humorous and often dangerous clips sent in by viewers - first prize is 10,000 dollars. One of last year's winners was recently approached by ABC, who insisted the family return the $3000 second place prize they'd accepted.

The Rhodes family's winning clip was of their son Josh skateboarding out of a skate park and into the street, over a small barrier, knocking a barrel of water over and then falling into an open construction pit. Josh jumped right up, triumphant.

It's funny cause he's just fine! Or was he? One of the contest rules states that the person in the clip must have avoided serious injury. This is reinforced by having the finalists show up to the awards episode in person.

Later the same day, Josh died from internal bleeding on the way to the hospital - the boy who showed up in person at the finalist episode was a look-alike cousin.
