Vic Morrow (1929 - 1982)
==Film Deaths==
*King Creole (1958) [Shark]: Stabbed (we don't see exactly where) with his own knife during a struggle with Elvis Presley in an alley. (Thanks to Robert)
*Cimarron (1960) [Wes Jennings]: Shot in the chest during a shoot-out with Glenn Ford at the Schoolhouse (possibly an inside reference to The Blackboard Jungle, in which both starred).
*Portrait of a Mobster (1961) [Dutch Schultz] Shot by Norman Alden
*Posse from Hell (1961) [Crip]: Shot dead by Audie Murphy during a running gunfight in the rocks and brush.(Thanks to Brian)
*Great White (L'Ultimo squalo; The Last Shark; Shark) (1981) [Ron Hamer]: Drowned in the ocean while wearing an explosive-covered vest; his body is shown afterwards when it washes up and is eaten by the shark, before James Franciscus sets off the explosives. (Thanks to PortsGuy)
*1990: The Bronx Warriors (1990: I guerreri del Bronx) (1982) [Hammer]: Shot with an arrow by Mark Gregory. (Thanks to Johan)
*Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983) [Bill Conner/LT Douglas C. Neidermyer]: In the first segment, he is killed in several different ways while being transported into different situations - only to transport to a different situation each time he dies. First, he falls from a high ledge to his death while being shot at by Nazi officer Kai Wulff, who sees Bill as a Jew. Second, Bill is shot to death by Ku Klux Klansmen - led by John Larroquette - who see him as an Afro-American. Third, Bill is blown up by a grenade when a squad of American Soldiers see him as a Viet Cong. Finally, Bill is possibly killed (off screen) in a concentration camp after the segment ends; the segment ends with Bill on a train with several Jewish people, so his final death is heavily implied (the segment was originally supposed to end with Vic redeeming himself by rescuing two Vietnamese children, but his and the childrens' real-life deaths in an accident during filming, in which a helicopter fell on them, decapitating Vic and one child and crushing the other child, forced the writers to change it).
==TV Deaths==
*The Rifleman: The Angry Gun (1958) [Johnny Cotton]: Shot in the stomach by Chuck Connors; he dies  shortly after climbing up to him.
*The Rifleman: Letter of the Law (1958) [Brett Stocker]: Gunned down by Chuck Connors after breaking into the town jail to retrieve a pair of fancy revolvers.
*The California Kid (1974 TV) [Sheriff Roy Childress]: Killed in a car accident when he loses control of his car while pursuing Martin Sheen, who is driving the titular hot rod, in an attempt to kill him the same way. He's shown reacting to the coming accident and the wreckage of his police car is shown. NOTE: Martin Sheen making Morrow crash and kill himself by making him drive beyond his abilities is the same tactic Morrow used to try and bring an end to Peter Fonda's crime spree in Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry the same year.
*Tom Sawyer (1973) [Injun Joe]: Killed by a big rock that falls on him while chasing Josh Albee and Karen Pearson in the cave.
*The Streets Of San Francisco: The Twenty-Four Karat Plague (1973) [Vic Tolliman]: Hit by a delivery van as he runs across the road fleeing from Michael Douglas. (Thanks to Brian)
* Captains and the Kings (1976 miniseries) [Senator Tom Hennessey]: Dies of pneumonia after passing out drunk in an alley in the rain; his body is shown afterwards when a policeman discovers him, then again during his funeral.
*Greatest Heroes of the Bible: Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar (1979) [Arioch]: Stabbed by a loose slave as Vic tries to assassinate Hans Conried. (though I'm not 100% sure of this)
*Charlie's Angels: Angel in Hiding (1980) [Harry Stearns]: Shot to death by the murderer in the car. Tanya Roberts mourns him.
