Just a wee collision with a planet after falling off a high ledge?

Weird euphemism, but I'd buy it 🤷

I like it. Way cooler than "died from a fall" and more concise on top of it.

I'm guessing it was some kind of astrology thing. People used to blame deaths on planets and stars being in certain areas of the sky.
