"Glow Job", Way to Die #207, is the fourth death featured in "Dead Wrongs", which aired on September 28, 2010.
Plot[]
It was 5 am in the morning at a nightclub and the rave party happening there was dying. Most people went home or to the local emergency room.
Jenna Davis: At a typical rave, there's not lot of security, there's lot of music, a lot of drugs, a lot of sex, and a lot of good times.
Only the hardcore partiers were left and one guy. A drug dealer named Rush. Rush preyed on the innocent to make money and was the guy you needed to go to to stay high. The inside of his hoodie was filled with everything from ecstasy to heroin.
Rush was a predator, not a partier, but that night he broke the cardinal rule of drug dealing: Never get high on your own supply. He took a couple of doses of ecstasy and since he wasn't used to being so wasted, he freaked out.
Because of these things, your mothers tell you not to take drugs, guys. All logic goes out the window, and you do stupid things, like empty your glow sticks in a kiddie pool and paint your bodies. One stupid idea led to another.
Instead of painting himself, Rush injected the glowing goo into his right arm. He didn't know that the mixture of chemicals in glow sticks forms a by-product called phenol; he lit up like a nuclear reactor and then melted down. The phenol, which was experimented on by the Nazis for executions, caused his nervous system to shut down and suffer kidney failure. Rush became dizzy, lost his balance and fell to the ground dead, sending him to Hell where he couldn't steal anyone's money.
Narrator: Rush preyed on innocent kids who just wanted to party. But when he tried to join in, he wound up... x'd out.

Narrator: But now, only the hardcore partiers remained, and this guy. A drug dealer named Rush.
(Rush shows drugs inside of his coat)
Rush: What do you want?
Narrator: Rush was the guy to go to when you wanted to keep your buzz going. The inside of his hoodie, was stuffed with everything from ecstasy to heroin.
Rush: Hey, yo. What you want?
Man: I want some X.
Rush: This, yeah?
-Man: Yeah.
-Rush: It's hard, man, this is hard, it's 50.
(The man buys it anyway)
Narrator: Rush, was a predator, not a partier. Tonight, Rush broke the cardinal rule of drug dealing: Never get high on your own supply.
(Rush eats the supply (off camera), feels dizzy)
Narrator: He popped a couple of hits of ecstasy, and not used to being so wasted, he freaked out.
(Rush hears the clown's laugh, sees people glowing themselves with glowing fluid)
Narrator: This is why your mama told you not to do drugs. All logic flies out the window and you do stupid things. Like empty out your glow sticks into a kiddie pool and smear it all over your bodies.
(Rush has a stupid idea, gets close to the glowing fluid)
Narrator: One stupid idea led to another.
(Rush picks up a syringe)
Narrator: Rather than smear it, Rush mainlined the glowing goo straight into his arm.

Narrator: And then... melted down.
(Rush drops dead while the clown is laughing; [] is playing, CGI shows the injection of glowing glue into the vein causing a poison into the vein, and stops the heartbeat)
Narrator: The mixture of chemicals in glow sticks creates a by-product called phenol. Once it enters the blood stream, phenol shuts down the nervous system and triggers kidney failure. The Nazi's experimented with phenol executions during World War II.

Narrator: Rush preyed on innocent kids who just wanted to party. But when he tried to join in, he wound up... x'd out.
