"Ex-Squeezed", Way to Die #888, is the seventh death to be featured in "Sudden Death", which aired on December 22, 2010.

Plot[]

Thomas Miagh was sentenced to death; the first attempt is the typical method of on the Torture Rack, which was supposed to stretch someone and keep pulling until their joints disconnected. This contraption was designed by the royal executioner of the time, Sir William Skeffington, who was nicknamed "Scavenger". As he attempted to pull Thomas apart with the rack, he failed because Thomas was a towering 6'9'' tall, way too tall for the rack to have any effect. Thomas mocks Skevington as he tries and fails, joking "I think you got me in the child size". Then Skevington, riled up more than ever, came up with the idea of instead of pulling someone apart, squeezing them to death. And so, the famous Scavenger's Daughter was born. It was a metal contraption that forced the victim into crouching in the fetal position, as two metal arms tightened other metal bars on the victims' back, and tightened more and more until death. Thomas was the first victim. As the steel pressed down on Thomas and he screamed in utter pain, his back, legs, arms, and ribs broke, and he suffered severe internal hemorrhaging. His lungs compressed as blood squirted from every orifice from his body; it was like squeezing a wet sponge dry. He was brutally squeezed more and more until his neck finally snapped. Thomas dies as a result, much to the relief of Sir William Skevington.

"And then...Thomas died."
