I prefer death nail, as that means the nail that kills the person e.g. in a crucifixion.
Nonsense Koan! No such expression in popular use. If you google "death nail" you will get
definition for death knell.

Also, with regard to crucifixion, take Jesus for instance, or the two thieves
crucified with him, nails did not kill him. By biblical accounts, he remained alive for many hours
after being nailed up there.

Death nail, which you prefer, is your obvious malapropism!
