Mao & Lenin
There is a story about the undertakers who prepared Mao managing to botch the job and the body bloating severely. Apparently it took them all night crafting with wax and makeup to make Mao's face presentable.

Lenin died of a brain disorder that apparently left it a quarter of it's normal size. Had Lenin chosen not to die, he could have qualified for a job as a Labour MP.
