"Screwged", Way to Die #236, is the seventh death featured in "Dead to Rights", which aired on February 17, 2010.

Plot[]

One cold Christmas Eve night, an old widower named Bob had no friends or family to celebrate the holidays with; the reason was he a total scrooge. When he gets surprised after hearing carolers singing near his house, he smiled; not because it warmed his heart, but it was a perfect time to get rid of his rotten fruit, which he threw at the carolers. Soon after the carolers ran away from his barrage, the weather showed signs of hail. A two-pound hailstone falling at 100 miles per hour hits him on the head, fracturing his skull, killing him instantly.
