Rasputin: One Tough Dude..

So being as odd as I am, I am browsing through some key people in Russia's history. Why? I have no clue. So I decide to narrow my search to one person. Who better to learn about than Grigori Rasputin? So I'm reading some stuff about his life, but the most interesting part about him is his death! So his fellow Russians are trying to kill him. They've settled on poisoning him. They slip a dose of cyanide in his dinner lethal enough to kill five men, right? But it’s not doing anything, so they move on to Plan B: they pull out a revolver and shoot him in the back! This still doesn’t kill him. In fact, he has enough energy to strangle one of his attackers, so they decide to shoot him three more times! And he’s still trying to get up! So they beat the living crap out of him, wrap him in a sheet, and throw him into an icy river. But get this: During his autopsy, they discovered the actual cause of death was hypothermia from the river! The poisoning, the shooting, and the beating didn't even remotely kill him. It was Mother Nature. And not only that, but his arms were found frozen upright, as if he had tried to claw his way through the ice. And it gets better. When they're cremating his body, he sits up! This is probably because the guy who prepared his body forgot to cut the tendons, so they shrank up when he burned, causing is body to fold in, but still! Rasputin was a tough dude...
