"Curl Up And Die", Way to Die #786, is the first death to be featured in "Grave Errors", which aired on March 2, 2011.
Plot[]
Barry was a hairstylist. Barry liked seducing women with Quaalude. After giving rounds of Quaaludes to two female clienteles and a third one escapes when he burns her hair. Barry, high and intoxicated on Vodka and Quaaludes, collapses, pressing his own neck on the hot curling iron, causing third-grade burns and throat damage, causing him to suffocate to death. The next day, Barry's third customer/mistress finds him dead and bellows in horror.
"The next day, Client #3 came back to give him another shot, but Barry was too burnt out...literally. He didn't OD, he just passed out with his neck nuzzled right up to his burning hot curling iron."
