"U.P.F'D.", Way to Die #334, is the fourth death to be featured on "Death – The Gift That Lasts Forever", which aired on August 22, 2011.
Plot[]
Larry used to be a postman, until his employers forced him to retire. Larry didn't react to it well. He would follow delivery trucks around neighborhoods and steal whatever packages that were delivered.
One rainy day, the embittered mail thief grabbed a box from the doorstep of a court judge. What he didn't know, was that the box was sent by a domestic terrorist who wanted to kill the judge for his views on immigration, by sending him a box with a booby-trapped mechanism that sprays the recipient with Anthrax bacterium. Larry opened the box and a cloud of Anthrax shot up in his face.
He ignored the blast, presumably thinking it to be harmless powder from a prank, and continued his thievery until the Anthrax finally kills him within a week.
