"Toilet Rolled", Way to Die #521, is the second death to be featured in "Waking Up Dead", which aired on February 3, 2010.
Plot[]
Around the world, one in 25 deaths are cause by alcohol consumption. If you wanna know how or why, Norton is a good place to start. Of the 17,000,000 alcoholics in the US, half are just like Norton, functioning and able to hold out steady jobs. Being a privately contracted steamroller operator meant Norton was his own boss, and the boss encouraged drinking on the job. He was yelling stuff like "Look out, coming through!", "Flat, Flat, Flat!", and "Makin' the world flat!" He already put the crusher to a couple of six-packs, and now nature is calling and proceeds to the port-a-potty.
Instead of hitting the head, he should have used his. Norton had forgot to set the hydraulic brake. With the toilet standing at the bottom of the slight hill, it didn't take long for the 44,000 pound roller to gain some speed and roll right over poor Norton, crushing his body in the process before squeezing all his organs out his mouth like a tube of toothpaste, and in the end, he ends up joining the two six-packs he had crushed earlier, sending him to heaven.

Narrator: Instead of hitting the head, he should've used his. Norton had forgotten to set the hydraulic brake. With the toilet standing at the bottom of the slight hill, it didn't take long for the 44,000 pound roller to gain some speed.
(The vehicle hits the porta-potty, Norton grunting in shock)
Narrator: And roll right over poor Norton.
(Norton screams as the porta-potty flips over and begins getting crushed).
Dr. Dale Prokupek: If somebody's gonna get rolled over by a steamroller and the steamroller came from his legs, it would be just like a tube of toothpaste, where all the contents of the colon, all the fecal matter, all of the digestive juices, and all of the food he had just eaten in his stomach; it would start at the rectum and then just squeeze it out all the way to the top, so all of that would come out of his mouth, and....it wouldn't taste very good.
(Creepy Death is playing, the aftermath of Norton got crushed is shown; recap, [] is playing)
Narrator: Norton worked hard, and drank even harder. Combining the two left him feeling...... a little flat!

- Aaron Henderson died in a similar way. More information can be found here.
- While Norton perished as a result of being crushed by a steamroller, Aaron met a similar fate at the hands of a bulldozer. Furthermore, while Aaron died because of someone else's fault, Norton died because of his own stupidity in not setting the hydraulic brake since he was drunk.
