"Cruci-fried", Way to Die #704, is the third death featured in "Young, Dumb, and Full of Death", which aired on November 9, 2010.
Plot[]
A phony miracle healing minister named Perry is seen bribing actors to "heal" them during his ceremonies, clearly using his pastor position to make money rather than any religious calling. He also has a metal tub for his "baptism" ceremonies. Prior to the service, he removes the ground from a three-pronged electrical plug to a microphone amp to get rid of an annoying hum emitting from the speaker. During the service, he steps into the metal baptismal pool while holding the microphone, inadvertently completing the current due to the lack of the ground and is immediately and fatally electrocuted, 110 volts of God's power passed through his sinful body, stopped his heart and sent him to hell, then he fell into the tub stiff as a board as his partner and mistress, Cammi, cries in sorrow.
