==Film Deaths:==
*Shame (1921) [Lotus Blossom]: Commits suicide after John Gilbert (as William Fielding) is killed. 
*The Toll of the Sea (1922) [Lotus Flower]: Commits suicide by drowning herself in the ocean. (The final reel of this film is lost, so I don't know whether her death was originally depicted on-screen or not; the restored version ends with a shot of the ocean and a title card suggesting her fate.)
