"Boys 2 Dead", Way to Die #87, is the last death featured in the episode "Death on a Stick", which aired on August 3, 2010.
Plot
Tim, Norm, Jeff, Tony, and Joe (members of an over-the-hill one-hit-wonder boy band called "4EVER", even though they're no longer boys) performed on stage for a very small, unenthusiastic crowd at a bar. Tim, the ego-maniacal lead singer, decides to do a stage dive while the band sings "(Stop Callin' Me) Baby". He dives, but with nobody to support him, he falls to the ground, shattering his spine, causing paralysis. His entire body shuts down, and Tim is dead. After the death of their lead singer, 4EVER decide to perform the rest of their song in his memory.
"While Tim lay there paralyzed, his lungs stopped breathing, his heart stopped beating, and his brain just...stopped. In other words, Tim was dead...4EVER."
