Nudged towards a profitable death.

Though... there's a story about Slobodan Penezic "Krcun", an old revolutionary and WWII hero, who died in a traffic accident in 1964. When they woke Tito up to tell him the news, he said "damn, I overslept... 8:20 already!".

Hence the verb "krcunizovati" (to krcunize) from which I pulled an analogy.
