==Film Deaths==
*Die! Die! My Darling (Fanatic) (1965) [Harry]: Shot to death by Tallulah Bankhead in the basement.
*Hammerhead (1968) [Hammerhead]: Shot/impaled by a large speargun when Beverly Adams fires it at the booth box he is escaping in (which is being carried from a helicopter).
*A Twist of Sand (1968) [Johann]: Falls dead on the beach after being shot in the chest by Jeremy Kemp and having previously been badly injured when a load of rotting timbers fall on him in the beached ship.
*Straw Dogs (1971) [Tom Hedden]: Possibly bleeds to death after accidentally shooting himself in the foot with a shotgun as Peter and his lynch mob try to break into Dustin Hoffman's house. (See also James Woods in the 2011 version.)
*The Blockhouse (1973) [Aufret]: Commits suicide after gradually losing his mind being entombed in the blockhouse for many months. It is not clear whether he slashed his throat with a broken bottle or a jagged can lid. (Thanks to Brian)

*Zulu Dawn (1979) [Q.S.M. Bloomfield]: Stabbed in the back by a Zulu warrior following the magazine wagon explosion. (not quite accurate, because the real Quartermaster Bloomfield was shot during the battle of Isandhlwana.)
*The Remains of the Day (1993) [Mr. Stevens, Sr.]: Dies of old age/unspecified natural causes, shortly after collapsing while attempting to perform his duties as a butler.
*The Crucible (1996) [Giles Corey]: Crushed to death while being tortured with weights pressing on his body, as he refuses to confess or deny the charge of witchcraft.
*Les Miserables (1998) [Bishop]: Details needed.
==Television Deaths==
*Oliver Twist (1962) [Bill Sikes]: Accidentally hanged when he tries to escape by swinging from one rooftop to another on a rope. (I haven't seen this version, so I don't know how closely it follows the story.)
*Adam Adamant Lives!: The Doomsday Plan (1966) [Professor Mort]: Accidentally electrocutes himself while trying to kill Gerald Harper.
*Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased): Never Trust A Ghost (1969) [James Howarth]: Philip Madoc shoots dead Caroline Blakiston and waits for her husband, Vaughan, to come home and then shoots him.
*The Casebook Of Sherlock Holmes: The Boscombe Valley Mystery (1991) [John Turner]: An offscreen death, we have learnt he is suffering from terminal diabetes, and near the end Edward Hardwicke reads his obituary in The Times.
*Game of Thrones: The Gift (2015) [Maester Aemon Targayren]: Dies of old age with John Bradley-West and Hannah Murray by his side; his body is shown later when it's burned on a funeral pyre.
