"D. U. Die", Way to Die #528, is the first death featured in "Bringing in the Dead", which aired on January 6, 2010.
Plot[]
Amos and Larry were a couple of mental anorexics driving a station wagon, drunk, and not even wearing seat belts. While driving 60 mph (96 km/h) after drinking two six packs of alcoholic beverages, Larry felt carsick, and leaned out his driver's-side window to vomit, not knowing that he was causing the car to swerve toward a street's edge, where his head was in the way of a mailbox. He gets decapitated after his head hits the mailbox, causing immediate brain death as his severed head gets dropped onto the sidewalk, sending the drunk driver to hell. Amos, at first not knowing that his friend has died, pulls his friend back into the seat of the vehicle, only to receive a horrifying surprise upon laying eyes on Larry's headless corpse.
Narrator: Drinking and driving don't mix. That's a heads up for all of you.

Trivia[]
- In 2004, Francis "Franky" Brohm was leaning out of a car window and got decapitated by a telephone pole support wire. The car's intoxicated driver, John Hutcherson drove nearly 12 miles (19 km) to his home with the headless body in the passenger seat, parked the car in his driveway, then went to bed. A neighbour saw the bloody corpse still in the car and notified police. Franky's head was later discovered at the accident scene.

- In the intro screen, both the current and season 1 intro themes can be heard. This also happened in Fore Head.
- The CGI for this death will eventually be reused for Rolled Death due of laziness.
- It's unknown what happened to Amos after Larry's death, but he is likely got arrested for DUI and vehicular manslaughter.
- This is the second segment to start a full episode with a decapitation, the first was Rub-A-Dubbed Out.
- 8 years and 15 days after the episode aired, this way to die was used for the death of Charlie Graham in the 2018 American horror film, Hereditary.
Goofs[]
- Factual Error: After Larry gets decapitated, the car remains in neutral and stops without harming Amos. However, since Larry was the driver, the car technically should've lost control and crashed, unless the force of the impact would have resulted in Larry's foot no longer pressing against the car's gas pedal.
