Ludvig Lundgren was killed by the impact of the Kvavisträsk-meteor on May 20 1900. This is probably the only documented case of a fatal injury connected with a meteor impact. The impact crater is still fully visible. Source: Liszka, L. (2008) Listening To Meteors. Infrasonic Observations of Meteors in Northern Sweden. Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Kiruna/Umeå.
