*And Then There Were None (Ten Little Indians) (1974) [Judge Arthur Cannon]: Commits suicide by taking poison.
*Conduct Unbecoming (1975) [Major Lionel E. Roach]: Commits suicide (off-screen) by shooting himself, after his evidence in the court-martial of James Faulkner for sexually assaulting Susannah York, reveals that he is actually the culprit. We only hear the shot from behind the closed door.
*Jurassic World (2015) [Dr. John Hammond]: Dies (off screen) from unspecified terms in the years between films; his death is mentioned in a conversation between Irrfan Khan and Bryce Dallas Howard. (Attenborough doesn't appear in the film (his last appearance was in 1997's The Lost World), as it was in production at the time of his death). His death is more outright addressed in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
