I would like to know if anyone has ever been killed by a potato, not
from eating one, but maybe crushed by a sack of them or something?  Or
maybe someone threw one out the window of a building and ended up
killing someone?

I am not expecting a lot of detail.  Just maybe the persons name and how they died.
Thanks in advance.

To Clarify:
I would like to know if anyone was ever killed by a potato meaning
that the potato itself caused the death.  If someone died from being
hit by a potato, which was launched from a potato gun, this answer
would be great.  But I am not looking for any potato-related deaths
like someone dieing from misusing a potato peeler, ect.

I think I have heard about people being killed by potato guns.

Yes - potato peelers, potato harvesters and potato guns have all caused death. 
Take a look:

I'm sure if the potato ever killed anyone and got caught and found
guilty he would be fried :)

You might be making a mistake ruling out answers involving
consumption.  Raw potatoes are really toxic.  (Cooking denatures the
toxins.)  I think the fatal dose is something on the order of a dozen
or so -- around five pounds.  I might have the numbers wrong, but
whatever, potatoes are without doubt a major exemption to the idea
that all things natural are good.

What about that movie Attack of the Killer Potatos?

Potatoes that have green buds growing from them are highly toxic -a
toxin which is not neutralized by the heat. It is easy enough to
discern, but fatalities occur due to ignorance from time to time.
