This death shows an ancient form of execution: wrapping the convicted in skins and furs from fresh kills, tying him to a tree, and letting whatever carnivores come around (in this case, vultures) make a meal of him.

Robbing a bank, bad idea. Drinking gasoline, even worse. Puking his deadly firewater into an open fire, the worst idea he ever had.

Radium is a radioactive substance, and many of the factory workers succumb to bone cancer. Those that survived went on to win a lawsuit against the company (that knew the paint was dangerous and encouraged the women to use their lips to wet their paintbrushes regardless), which helped establish better safety standards across America.

It turns out the company knew all along about the harmful effects of radium, yet they allowed the girls to ingest it, daily. Wendy was one of the first to die, but six of her colleagues banded together in the first successful workers rights lawsuit. Overcoming years of denial and foul play, the Radium Girls led to higher safety standards across America.

There's nothing more pathetic than a drunken clown... except maybe a dead drunken clown. At least for Fred, clown time is over.

One Way to Live

A death row inmate is given a lethal injection, but the drugs that were meant to kill him seem to have no effect. He goes on a small rampage when the restrains are undone, but dies shortly thereafter: turns out, the restraints were too tight and acted as a tourniquet, so the poison didn't take effect until the blood flow was restored.

It's hard to justify one death with another, but a creep like Scott Randall? He deserved to die.
