*Community: Basic Email Security (2015) [Buzz Hickey]: Dies (off-screen) from unspecified circumstances before the episode begins. Although Jonathan left the show in the prior season, an email seen on Jim Rash's computer has the subject line "Buzz Hickey Memorial Services", implying his fate (although given the show's style of humor, it's just as likely that the character is alive and instead has a job as a funeral director).
*The Expanse (2015) [Canterbury XO]: Dies (off-screen) when the Canterbury spaceship is destroyed. 
*A Tale Dark & Grimm: Chapter the Seventh: Faithful Johannes (2021) [Johannes]: Dies from being mortally wounded by the Devil (Adam Lambert) in the previous episode, Chapter the Sixth Three: Golden Hairs, when the latter impaled him by throwing a stake towards his chest. He dies shortly after telling Hansel (Andre Robinson) and Gretel (Raini Rodriguez) the story behind why their parents tried to kill them.
==Video Game Deaths==
* Batman Arkham Knight (2015) [Commissioner James P. Gordon]: In Kevin Conroy’s hallucination, Jonathan is seen slowly succumbing to a gunshot wound, telling Mark Hamill to “stop this madness”. He dies when Mark comically hushes him. However, this is just a hallucination and Jonathan survives the game in reality.
