"Well Chung", Way to Die #252, is the fifth death to be featured on "Tweets From the Dead", which aired on March 26, 2012.
Plot[]
Wang-Chung was a street-side black market merchant, who ran a small street-side bazaar that sold everything from the organs of endangered species to illegal weapons. One day, while making a pirated DVD sale, he gets a tip that the FBI is on his tail. Wang-Chung immediately closes his bazaar and hastily hides in his camp-trailer, where he hides illegal fireworks. Shortly after, the FBI arrives and begins investigating his street-corner. An hour later, Wang-Chung takes a lit cigarette and then puts it on a 6-pack of canned beverages. It falls off and lands on the fuse of a firecracker, causing his entire fireworks stash to shoot everywhere in all directions, causing a catastrophic, forceful blast wave of blazing fire that no human could survive- and indeed, when the explosions end, the FBI agent opens the door to find Wang-Chung's blackened corpse.
