"Caught in a Lye", Way to Die #771, is the fourth death featured in "Death Takes A Vacation", which aired November 14, 2011.
Plot[]
A chemical plant owner named Andris lies to safety inspectors about his waste disposal practices, which is very important since his plant was in charge of turning bauxite into alumina, the first step in creating aluminum. When one of them notices a pipe leaking hazardous sodium hydroxide solution, also known as lye, he tries to stop the leak by closing a valve.
However; the pipe bursts, and the toxic chemical spews all over him, destroying his skin and body tissues, and dies soon thus sending this lying toxic criminal straight to Peklo and leaving the inspectors horrified.
