Death Be Not Stupid[]
"Life's a bitch, then you marry one, then you die, like the drunk biker who passed some gas out the wrong end, or the shyest couple in the history of coupling. How about the guy who fell asleep on the job and never woke up, or the paintballer who went bye-bye during a drive-by? Or what about the lady who tried a new tapeworm diet? And then there's the guy in the boat who was shocked to discover... (randal: I'm not a fisherman, I'm an electrician!) After all this, one thing is perfectly clear. Life will kill you."

Cisco
On May 19, 2002, at Glacier National Park, in West Glacier, MT. A wanted drug dealer hides out in the wilderness. Wanting to get drunk, but having no booze (and not willing to get caught by authorities by setting foot in a bar or liquor store), he siphons the gasoline from his motorcycle, thinking he can drink it because it contains ethanol, but is unable to keep it down. When he vomits it back up into his campfire, he is engulfed in flames.
