==Television Deaths:==
*Rawhide: Incident with a Executioner (1959) [Jardin]: Killed in a showdown with Eric Fleming. This death could be ruled as a suicide because Dan played a hired gun that was incredibly fast and it was unlikely Eric could have won unless Dan wanted it.

*The Jack Benny Program: Lunch Counter Murder (1960) [Gangster]: Shot in the chest by Jack Benny after Dan runs out of bullets while holding up Jack's diner; he launches into a lengthily, historic dying speech until Jack shoots him in the chest once again to shut him up. (Played for comic effect)
