"SP-Effed", Way to Die #317, is the first death featured in "Dead Before They Know It", which aired on March 23, 2011.
Plot[]
An arrogant woman named Shelly is always borrowing her roommates' belongings without asking: clothes, food and beauty products. When one of her roommates buys a tanning bed (which no one is allowed to use), she decides to use it, but before going in, she puts on her roommate’s moisturizer.
It turns out what Shelly thought was moisturizer, was her roommate’s psoriasis medication. It contained psoralen, which was sensitive to the UV light. That night, she feels pain in her face, which she mistakes for a sunburn and takes some painkillers before sleeping it off.
The next day, Shelly wakes up all burnt and weak. The light from the tanning bed gives her massive second degree burns over her body, heart failure, hypovolemic & cardiogenic shock and severe dehydration, killing her but not before she collapses and falls into the arms of her horrified roommate and dies, sending the roommate from Hell to Hell.
Exactly why you should ask before taking.
"She collapsed into her roommate's arms... dead, from heart failure."
