Robert Downey Jr.

Robert Downey Jr. (1965 - )
==Film Deaths==
*Greaser's Palace (1972) [Boy]: Throat slit (off-screen), along with that of his father, by an unknown assailant, later implied to be done by Woody Chambliss' divine powers. His body is shown afterwards when his mother Elsie Downey discovers him, and again when she buries him. He is later brought back to life after Allan Arbus is crucified.
*Less Than Zero (1987) [Julian Wells]: Dies of a drug overdose while in a car with Andrew McCarthy and Jami Gertz.
*Chaplin (1992) [Charles Spencer Chaplin]: Dies (off-screen) of old age and natural causes, some time after the final scene. His death is mentioned in the on-screen text at the end of the movie.
*Natural Born Killers (1994) [Wayne Gale]: Executed when he is shot multiple times in the chest and back with shotguns by Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis, after they took him into the woods. Although Robert tries to argue that Woody and Juliette usually leave someone alive to tell their story, they then explain that Robert's camera has been recording and will be used as the witness to their story.
*Richard III (1995) [Anthony, Earl of Rivers]: Impaled through the back by one of Ian McKellen's assassins, from underneath the bed in his hotel room.
*Danger Zone (1996) [Jim Scott]: Neck snapped by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa on top of being shot repeatedly by Cary, as Billy Zane looks on. His body is shown afterwards lying on the ground.
*One Night Stand (1997) [Charlie]: Dies (off-screen) of AIDS-related illness.
*The Gingerbread Man (1998) [Clyde Pell]: Killed (off-screen) by Tom Berenger. His body is shown afterwards when Kenneth Branagh discovers him.
*U.S. Marshals (1998) [Special Agent John Royce]: Shot by Tommy Lee Jones when Robert tries to pull a gun after being caught trying to kill Wesley Snipes.
*The Singing Detective (2003) [Dan Dark]: Shot in the head by his alter-ego  in a symbolic hallucination sequence; we see the bullet's point-of-view as it rushes towards Robert.
*Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006) [Lionel Sweeney]: Commits suicide by drowning himself, rather than endure a long death from lung disease.
*Zodiac (2007) [Paul Avery]: Dies (off-screen) of emphysema, some time after the story ends; his death is mentioned in the on-screen text at the end of the movie.
*Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) [Sherlock Holmes]: Pushed off a balcony and into the waterfall below at the end of a fist-fight with Jared Harris; however, this only occurs in Robert and Jared's mutual prediction of how the fight would play out, and Robert survives the film in reality. He is also temporary clinically dead earlier in the film from injuries, but is revived when Jude Law injects adrenaline into him.
*The Nice Guys (2016) [Sid Shattuck]: Shot to death and burned by Keith David (off-screen). His body is shown after Ryan Gosling stumbles upon it. Robert does not have any scenes in the movie while he is alive, and only plays the corpse.
*Avengers: Endgame (2019) [Tony Stark/Iron Man]: Dies of radiation poisoning and from burn wounds after using the Infinity Gauntlet to turn Josh Brolin and his army into dust. Robert passes away from his wounds with Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow and Tom Holland by his side. His funeral is later shown.
==Television Deaths==
*Saturday Night Live (Nov. 9, 1985) [Yuppie]: In the "Where You're Going" commercial parody, he dies off-screen of unspecified circumstances, along with the other yuppies. They are seen burning in Hell. (Played for comic effect.)
*Saturday Night Live (May 24, 1986) [Himself]: Burned to death, alongside most of the cast and crew, when Billy Martin douses the room with gasoline and lights it on fire before the good-nights. Everyone can be seen running and screaming around the smoky room as the credits roll in a cliff-hanger parody. They don't die on-screen, but their fates are clear. (Played for comic effect.)
