"Lost In Transfusion", Way to Die #458, is the fourth death featured in "Dead Before They Know It", which aired on March 23, 2011.
Plot
In order to beat a company drug test, a cocaine-addicted crane operator named Ramon injects himself with blood that matches his type, stolen by his girlfriend who works as a hospital cook. However, he does not listen because he was high when she warns him to warm the blood before injecting it. He stores the blood in the refrigerator overnight before injecting it in the bathroom moments before his drug test. Once the cold blood enters his body, Ramon is killed instantly from fibrillation and tachycardia.
"He fed the cold blood into his vein, and as soon as it hit his heart... he was lights out."
