"Doggie Style", Way to Die #85, is the fifth death featured in "I See Dead People (And They're Cracking Me Up)", which aired on April 5, 2009.
Plot[]
Zack Taylor, an alcoholic, who always paid for his booze with his grandmother's stolen social security checks. Zack entered into a liquor store in order to get more alcohol to drink. While there, he opted to steal some items from the store shelves. When Zack was confronted by the shopkeeper, he fled the store, grabbing a hot dog on his way out. After putting it into his mouth, he continued running. The force caused the hot dog to slip into his trachea, causing him to choke to death, sending this angry drunken tosser to hell as he deserved. The shopkeeper later calls 911. As he talked to a female police officer, the paramedics took Zack's body to an ambulance to transfer it to a morgue. That's why your mother told you NOT to eat and run.

- Robert Puelo died they same way in St Louis , Missouri in 1994. Paramedics tried to save him by unlodging his Tulare piece by piece but they were too late and only unlodged part of the sausage.
- This is the first death being named “Doggie Style(d)”. The other is Way to Die #428.
- The name of the victim is a reference to the famous Black Ranger
- This is one of the very few cases where the segment does not have Latin American Spanish dubbing (The Argentine version) or if it does, it's lost media. The other one is You're So Vein (which, curiously, is the one that precedes this segment in production order).
