5. In Britain it is against the law to die in parliament.
via civilnet.am
This is one weird rule; if you were planning to die, please wait until you are no longer within the vicinity of the British Parliament. The rule has however been recently removed. The reason people were banned from dying in parliament was because it was deemed a royal place and if a person happened to die there then it would warrant a state funeral. Imagine how they kept a keen eye on people to see whether they were likely to die. However it is easy to see how this would inconvenience the government.
