"Bucky Boned", Way to Die #397, is the second death to be featured in "Tweets From the Dead", which aired on March 26, 2012.
Plot[]
A spoiled and crooked stockbroker named Lenny had been bilking millions of dollars from investors through an illicit Ponzi scheme. Everyone would say that he was a regular Bernard Madoff, but his greedy behavior was going to catch up to him; following the stock market crash, he receives word that his office is about to be raided by the FBI, so he and his secretary, Patty, tried frantically to destroy all the evidence.
Suddenly, he suffers a horrible stomachache, crying for his mother before dying and leaving a horrified Patty.
"How'd that happen?"
What caused Lenny's death was his bucky ball stress toy; When he slammed it on his desk in a fit of rage, some of the neodymium magnets landed in his tapioca bubble tea. While drinking the tea, he swallowed the magnets, which then caused them to attract to each other, tearing through his small intestines, causing him to die of internal bleeding, sending him to Hell.
