There is a tangential reference to it in Ghostwalk. Apparently, this is one of the most gruesome deaths the author could think of.

the creature's wounds are the stuff of nightmares: people who have had their brains extracted by a mind flayer, who have been tortured to death by malevolent sadists, who died from aggressive diseases such as mummy rot, or who were the targets of an implosion spell.
I downplay this a bit in my games...
