HEY! Ever seen Once Upon a Time in America? (Spoiler Alert)

At the end, the big political wheel played by James Woods who was a hoodlum-turned-political-crook-of-the-highest-order, walks out of his mansion with all the party guests there, and he knows he's doomed and going to jail. there is a garbage truck waiting. Its engine starts and then drives past Woods standing on the curb. When it passes, Woods is gone and all you can see is the garbage augur turning and the assumption is made that he threw himself onto the augur and was chewed up and spit into the trash truck.

Just sayin'...

Of course it's only a film and you cannot expect any real-life narcissistic criminal sociopath politico to do something like that to conveniently end the story. It would have to be much more complex...
