Squirreled Away, Way to Die #274, is the sixth death featured in "The One About Dumb People Dying", which aired on February 8, 2011.
Plot
A customer walks into a taxidermy shop, only to be scared off by the shop's owner, Norman, who is foaming at the mouth. So what happened to Norman? Norman ran a taxidermy shop deep within the woods, and found plenty of animals to not only stuff and mount, but to eat as well. One day, he kills a squirrel he finds in a tree, and eats it (on the rare side) as a sandwich. A few days after eating the squirrel, Norman begins to suffer from rabies because the rabies virus can live up to 24 hours within a dead carrier. The virus infects his nervous system, causing him to die a slow painful death from organ failure and the inability to think properly and breathe on his own.
