If it occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's blues a death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another blues way to die.

Other blues ways to die include:
a. the electric chair
b. substance abuse
c. being denied treatment in an emergency room.

It is NOT a blues death if you die during a liposuction treatment.
