==Film Deaths==
*King Rat (1965) [Maven]: A POW, he dies offscreen in the camp hospital after the doctor, James Donald, tells the orderly that he will not last the night.
*The Psychopath (1966) [Mark Von Sturm]: Presumably dies off-screen after he is paralyzed from a fall and Patrick Wymark leaves him alone inside a secret room with his dead mother, Margaret Johnston. The last shot of the film is him crying out for Margaret.
*The Legacy (1978) [Jason Mountolive]: While passing his supernatural powers on to Katharine Ross, he is killed when Sam Elliott short-circuits John's life-support system. (At this point, John is made up to look much older than he actually was at the time.)
*Nightflyers (1987) [Michael D'Brannin]: To be added
*81/2 Women (1999) [Phillip Emmenthal]: Dies of unspecified natural causes (presumably a heart attack, although it appears to be too quiet and peaceful for cardiac arrest), while Polly Walker is manually stimulating him in the bedroom.
*The Calling (2000) [Jack Plummer]: Electrocuted when Alice Krige drops an electrical device into his hot tub during a gathering of cultists.
*V for Vendetta (2005) [Bishop Lilliman]: Poisoned (off-screen) by Hugo Weaving; his body is shown afterwards while Stephen Rea and Rupert Graves investigate the scene. (In the original graphic novel. it was specified that he was killed with a cyanide-laced communion wafer; in the film, the only indication that he was poisoned is Hugo's line "Stick out your tongue."
