(It's implied, but not confirmed, that this unnamed character is Kevin's character "Dr. Miles J. Bennell" from the original 1956 Invasion of the Body Snatchers.)
*Piranha (1978) [Dr. Robert Hoak]: Bleeds to death when he gets bitten by dozens of piranha, (as he makes a sacrifice to distract the piranha from getting to Jack Pauleson), his body is then dumped over the raft by Bradford Dillman (also to distract the piranha).
