"That's A Morte!", Way to Die #450, is the second death featured in "Today's Special: Death", which aired on August 1, 2011.
Plot[]
In the 1500s, some things in Italy were not very different from today, men and women got married, swore eternal fidelity and later they cheated on each other, the puttana (whore) of this story was Caterina, she was a treacherous and unfaithful wife who cheated on her husband with another man.
She and her lover were in her room and began to have sex when Caterina heard something and realized that it was her husband so her lover came out of the window, her husband knew something was happening, he found Caterina and noticed that she had a smell and told her that she made him look like a fool, her husband was going out on a business trip, so he put a chastity belt on Caterina in her grilletto (vagina), he did not want to catch a Venereal Disease again, Caterina begged him not to do it but her husband carefully put it on to make sure it was done right and secured it with a padlock, he left and Caterina was stuck in her metal diaper.
Jason Sarrow: The chastity belt would have been warned as a means by which to keep a male or female chased. And it pretty much active as a diaper all around the body, to project the genital area. Also they would designed for women that could urinate and they could err... have a menstrual cycle.
Her lover came to see her to have relationships, but Caterina told her that it was impossible and showed her that her husband put her the key, her lover thought about using a hunting knife in order to open the lock but the hunting knife almost killed her so they changed the plan, they used a combination of olive oil and water and Caterina could have slipped out of the belt and they began to have sexual relations.
During the following weeks the cheaters did it like conigli (rabbits), but they didn't take into account that the water oxidized the metal, every time Caterina put on and took off the belt she came into contact with the rusty edges which caused a cut on her right leg and she got infected.
When her husband returned home, Caterina was in bed extremely weak and could barely stand up, her husband asked her what was happening and she showed him the infection in her crotch which confused him and he asked her what that was, then Caterina suffered muscle spasms that closed her larynx and she fell dead on the bed, sending this unfaithful and rusty traitor to the inferno she deserved and leaving her husband confused.
Drew Badger: Water causes metal to rust. So, every time this woman slid the chastity belt long enough... she made contact with the rusty edges. After contact with the rusty belt, the C. tetani spores are able to penetrate the skin, they produce the potent toxin, tetanospasmin, which also mentally... led to loss of motor neuron control. She experienced muscle spasms that let the larynx contract and then ultimately turned out.
Narrator: There's a lesson here: whenever it's the 14th century or the 21st... infidelity can get pretty messy. Caterina couldn't keep her legs shut. And now her mouth is... forever.

- The Italian word "Morte" in the death title translates as "death".
- Caterina's husband, says that her actions make him look like a stupid fool, but he really is a stupid fool since Caterina would have died of tetanus even without having a lover since that type of metal chastity belt should not be worn for a long time because it rusts with bodily fluids.
- It's unknown what happened to Caterina's lover, but since Caterina became infected during the time they had sex, it's possible that he also became infected and died.
- The chastity belt was also used in the 1700s on adolescents to keep them from having sex or masturbating, which was explained by Jason Sarrow in the Informational Segment for this death.
- Translation: Grilletto does not directly mean 'vagina', it translates more to 'trigger'.
