The first was my grandmother at her funeral, when I was five. The second was a death I witnessed, a heroin overdose at the Frankfurt train station. I saw a lot of close calls there, including stepping off a street car into a pool of blood from a stabbing.
Oh. I'm going to have to change my answer: I've witnessed fatal car accidents, something that's very traumatic to me and I tend to suppress. That adds at least three, maybe more. And again, I've witnessed (and tended to) many potentially deadly injuries at the scene of car wrecks. Plus I pulled a guy off the bottom of a pool who survived, and prevented a man from being beaten to death in the Paris metro (and helped his friends collect his bloody teeth from the floor).
