"Sky Scraped", Way to Die #596, is the second death featured in "Crying Over Spilled Blood", which aired on July 15, 2012.
Plot[]
It was a cold and windy day in Chicago, but 80 floors up in a building it was much, much colder.
If you fell behind on your mortgage payments, you had better hope that the person who runs the mortgaging department of the bank isn't someone like Alexis.
Alexis is an evil, sadistic, pitiless, and mean-spirited witch who enjoys her clients' miserable reactions when she forecloses on their homes, as well as to act condescending and rude towards them if they object. Furthermore, the loans are insured, so the bank can make a hefty profit by selling off the foreclosed homes.
One day, while looking out of the window of the eighty-floor office building where she works, she wonders how many more lives she could ruin.
Moments later, a freak wind storm, combined with the building's negative air pressure, violently implodes the window. Alexis was pierced and cut down by hundreds of flying glass shards, with one shard cutting her axillary artery, bleeding her out and ending her reign of terror on people's mortgage.
