"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 want to 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 "Making 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 while squeezing all his organs out of his mouth like a tube of toothpaste.

Narrator: Around the world, one in 25 deaths are caused by alcohol consumption. If you wanna know how or why, Norton is a good place to start.
Norton: Watch out! Coming through!
Narrator: Of the 17 million alcoholics in the United States, half are just like Norton: functioning and able to hold down steady jobs.

Narrator: Being a privately contracted steamroller operator meant Norton was his own boss. And the boss encouraged drinking on the job.
Norton: Flat, flat, flat.
Narrator: He already put the crusher to a couple of six packs. And now, nature was calling.
Norton: You don't drink beer, you rent it!
(Norton hurries over to the on-site porta-john and goes inside)
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 going to 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!

Trivia[]
- This is the only death in the series to take place in Kingman, Arizona, and one of 3 in Mohave County, Arizona, the other 2 are Fin-ished, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and My Chemical Romance, in Bullhead City, Arizona.
- 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.
- Norton's death is foreshadowed after he throws a beer can in the path of the steamroller the beer liquid splatters onto the road
