"Guns N' Noses", Way to Die #465, is the fourth death featured in "Killing Them Softly", which aired on March 9, 2011.
Plot[]
After capturing and killing a diamond smuggler and put the rough diamonds in a tray, a ruthless warlord named Tomo celebrates by snorting the Sierra Leone dealer's drug of choice, "brown-brown" (cocaine laced with nitroglycerine-laced gunpowder). After some hits of it he starts writhing in pain, beginning to bleed from the nose and mouth, before collapsing onto the desk dead. However, the death wasn't by the combination of cocaine and gunpowder.
Rather, he was unaware that the tray holding the mixture, as well as the overall air in the room, was contaminated with near-invisible diamond dust from the rough diamonds that his compound mines; when he snorted the mixture, the particles quickly made ribbons of his arteries, ripped up his lungs, and finally sliced up his heart, causing him to bleed to death (though the effects of the brown-brown meant he didn't feel all the pain), sending this ruthless warlord of a bastard to hell as he deserves.
