Christopher Eccleston

Christopher Eccleston (1964 - )
==Film Deaths==
*Let Him Have It (1991) [Derek Bentley]: Executed by hanging after being unjustly sentenced to death for Robert Morgan's murder. 
*Shallow Grave (1994) [David Stephens]: Stabbed in the back of the neck by Kerry Fox while Christopher is trying to kill Ewan McGregor. His body is shown at the beginning of the movie as he narrates from beyond the grave, but it isn't revealed until the end that he was already dead in the opening close-up. 
*Elizabeth (1998) [Thomas Howard/4th Duke of Norfolk]: Decapitated by an executioner with an axe on the orders of Cate Blanchett for conspiring against her and trying to overthrow her, after having previously been arrested by Geoffrey Rush. We only see the axe about to be brought down on him, followed by a shot of his severed head on a pike afterwards, along with the severed heads of Jamie Foreman and Edward Hardwicke.
*Existenz (1999) [Seminar Leader]: Shot in the chest with a gristle-gun by Kris Lemche; this turns out to be a simulation and he survives in reality.
*Heart (1999) [Gary Ellis]: Commits suicide by slitting his throat with a scalpel, as Saskia Reeves looks on; Saskia then cuts out his heart and takes the blame for his "murder."
*Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000) [Raymond Calitri]: Falls to his death and lands on a coffin after Nicolas Cage knocks him off of a platform as Christopher is about to shoot Delroy Lindo. 
*The Others (2001) [Charles Stewart]: Killed off-screen in combat; he appears as a ghost when he returns to talk to Nicole Kidman, but his ghostly nature isn't revealed until Nicole realizes that she herself is a ghost.
*28 Days Later (2002) [Major Henry West]: Mauled to death by the infected Marvin Campbell.
*Revengers Tragedy (2002) [Vindici]: Shot to death (off-camera) by guards, along with the rest of his family, when they take Anthony Booth hostage in the palace; we only hear the shots after the camera pans up to a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II.
*The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007) [The Rider]: Apparently destroyed when Alexander Ludwig uses his powers to trap Christopher in one of his own spheres, then drops it into the murky waters. Christopher's death is ambiguous, so this entry will stay.
*Amelia (2009) [Fred Noonan]: Dies off-screen in a presumed plane crash, along with Hilary Swank; the movie ends with them flying over the sea while low on fuel, but their disappearance is a well-known historic fact.
*Thor: The Dark World (2013) [Malekith]: Crushed to death by his own falling spaceship when Stellan Skarsgard sends it through a portal, after Chris Hemsworth had thrown Christopher into that same realm at the end of their fight.
==Television Deaths==
*Cracker: To Be a Somebody, Part 2 (1994) [DCI David Bilborough]: Stabbed repeatedly with a bayonet by Robert Carlyle; he dies after dragging himself outside to radio to his colleagues. 
*The Second Coming: Part 2 (2003) [Stephen Baxter]: Dies after eating rat poison put in his food by Lesley Sharp. He dies while Lesley looks on.
*Doctor Who: Father's Day (2005) [Ninth Doctor]: Consumed by Reapers, who target him for being the oldest living being in the church they invade. This death is reversed when Shaun Dingwall sacrifices himself by jumping in front of the car that should have killed him earlier, thus fixing the timeline, causing Christopher and all the others who died to return.
*Doctor Who: The Parting of the Ways (2005) [The Ninth Doctor]: Dies of cellular damage after absorbing the Time Vortex energy from Billie Piper; he regenerates into David Tennant afterwards. As with all Doctor Who regeneration scenes, it's arguable whether this is a "death" scene, but this will be counted as the "death" of Christopher's incarnation of the character.
*The Shadow Line (2011; TV-mini-series) [Joseph Bede]: Shot to death off-screen by Rafe Spall's men. His body is seen when police offices finds him lying in a car.
*Fortitude Season 1: Episode 2 (2015) [Professor Charlie Stoddart]: Dies off-screen from his injuries after being stabbed and slashed by an unknown murderer.
*The Leftovers: The Book of Nora (2017) [Matt Jamison]: Dies of cancer off-screen; we are informed of his death when Justin Theroux tells Carrie Coon.
