"Dead-dy Dearest", Way to Die #172, is the seventh and final death to be featured in "If You're Dead – Leave a Message and We'll Get Back to You", which aired on January 5, 2011.

Plot[]

Mike is a stubborn and overprotecting father to his daughter, Megan, considering he was a war vet back in the day. His stubborn behavior scared her mother away, but Megan was stuck with him; lately, it was difficult for her to keep a boyfriend. One night, Megan and her new boyfriend, Nick are studying in Megan's room. When Mike hears some giggling in her room, he brings out a gun and shoots it at Nick, which turns out to be a joke, because Mike put blank bullets in the gun, but when he tries to demonstrate by pointing the gun at his own head and firing with blank bullet, the joke is soon after on him: he ironically dies due to the pressurized force of the blank striking so close to his temple that it causes brain hemmorage, killing him instantly, and leaving Megan and her boyfriend horrified by his lifeless corpse.

Gee, thanks, pop.
