"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[]

Henry was a hunter who must have been born 200 years ago, in today's world, he was just an eccentric old crazy man who spent all his time in the middle of nowhere, hunting and trapping while wearing the skins of the animals he had hunted.

Suppose you are God and it is Henry's last day on Earth. How do you think he should die?

Maybe fall into a spike trap he forgot he built? It's not bad, but not this time, Henry wasn't hurt.

How about we try it again? What do you think about tripping over a branch, falling and hitting a bear trap with his face? That's dark, but with that neither, we can't catch Henry.

Henry stopped to drink water at a stream, let's try another shot, bullseye, the perfect death.

Another hunter mistook Henry for a wild animal due to his animal furs and shot him with a long-range rifle that shattered him before exiting his body, sending him to Heaven.

Henry didn't fit in the modern world. His cause of death: wardrobe malfunction.
