*Sailor Of The King (1953) [Petty Officer Wheatley]: He survives his ship being sunk by the Germans and is rescued by them. He can't walk and ends up in their sick bay and is then killed when the German ship is in turn sunk by the Royal Navy.

*Dunkirk (1958) [Charles Foreman]: Having had his small boat blown out from under him, he ends up on the beach with the BEF and is killed when Stukas strafe the stranded soldiers.
*Nowhere To Go (1958) [Victor Sloane]: Dies offscreen after fellow criminal George Nader trusses him up in bedsheets and shoves a gag in his mouth. Harry Locke later tells Nader that the gag had pushed Lee's false teeth into his throat and he had choked to death.

*Frankenstein And The Monster From Hell (1974) [Tarmut]: Killed (off-screen), either by Peter Cushing or his henchmen. We see his handless body when one of the coffin bearers drops it and the lid comes off. Cushing of course wants the hands for his new monster creation.
*The World is Not Enough (1999) [M]: Though it was made eighteen years after Bernard's death (and twenty years after his last appearance in 1979's Moonraker) A special portrait of his Bernard was seen, meaning his character had passed away by the time of this film (though it's never known if his and Robert Brown are actually the same "M", but it's obviously different one than Judi Dench's).
