Reply to comment by mopsy-turtle in TIL: Frank Slide, 44 MILLION tons of rock fell in one of the largest landslides in Canadian history back in 1903. It partially buried a town and killed 70-90 people. Also, a horse, Charlie. Survived for a month underground, only to die after being overfed oats and... brandy. by chrisbe2e9
I'm almost certain Patrick Warburton stars in a detective noir spoof where he plays a character called Rock Slide.

Reply to TIL of Clement Vallandigham, a lawyer and congressman during the Civil War. The Union deported him for supporting the Confederacy. After the war, he died by accidentally shooting himself during a murder trial while trying to show the murder weapon could have misfired. His client got off as a result by MikiLove
That's dedication to his client right there.
