Huxom's death was not a "freak" accident at all.  It was, however, a
stupid accident.  Apparently (and I haven't had a chance to speak
to the people I know over at Fox yet) he was playing "Russian
Roulette" with a .44 loaded with several blanks (remaining chambers
empty).  In his television show, he was supposedly an ex-marine
weapons expert.  In real life, he knew little about arms and apparently
had not been told about how blanks work.

He put the gun to his temple and hit a chamber with a blank.
The blank's cotten wadding blew a quarter-sized chunk of his skull
to the center of his brain.  Aren't guns fun?
