My buddy's grandfather died with a Girls Gone Wild VHS tape in the VCR and a western novel on his chest. This was when DVDs had already replaced VCRs so no one really wanted it. They ended up trashing that and a handful of other tapes.

The tape was at the end. We all assume he feel asleep and passed away with it going.

He drank Crown. It's not generally my thing but many bottles were had after the funeral around a bonfire to honor an absolute legend.

We all know how shitty and exploitative GGW is now, but at the time all we saw was an 80-something year old man living the dream.
