So far, no one has ever been killed by a meteorite. There's been a scary injury, some unconfirmed rumors and at least one engine block was cracked in half.

That said, death by thing falling from space is totally how I want to die. Bonus points if I'm totally disintegrated and just MIA. ( Circuitboard. It was man made. Has anyone seen Uriel? ) A falling satellite will be fine.
