"Furdered", Way to Die #61, is the third death to be featured in "Death Puts On a Dunce Cap", which aired on November 2, 2010.

Plot[]

Three possibles scenarios in how the victim will die are explored: Henry, a hunter in the Michigan wilderness dressed in an animal pelt, travels through the forest.

1. He falls into the spike pit he built earlier. However, that's not what happens. He almost falls into the trap, but he doesn't lose his footing.

2. He falls face first into an animal trap. But that's not what happens either. He falls inches away from the animal trap after tripping.

3. He gets shot by another hunter who mistakes him for an animal because he wore the fur of the animals that Henry hunted when he drinks some water from a river stream. The bullet enters Henry's neck and exits his hip, and he bleeds to death.

  • Whether the hunter who shot Henry is caught and arrested for his manslaughter or ran away and escaped the consequences is unknown.
