*10 Rillington Place (1971) [Timothy John Evans]: Executed by hanging, after being wrongfully convicted of Judy Geeson's and Miss Riley's murders.
*The Ghoul (1975) [Tom Rawlings]: Stabbed to death by Don Henderson after Don sees him trying to rape Alexandra Bastedo. (Apparently, there is an alternative ending where he survives, but there is no evidence to prove that),

*The Elephant Man (1980) [John Merrick]: Suffocates in his sleep when he decides to sleep lying down like other people, and his airway closes due to the weight of his deformities.

*Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) [Winston Smith]: Although John is last seen alive after being tortured and brainwashed in Oceania's "Ministry of Love" by Richard Burton, it's strongly implied that he and the other prisoners (including his lover and accomplice Suzanna Hamilton) were only released and briefly kept alive to publicly confess their crimes before being executed.
*After Darkness (1985) [Peter Hunningford]: Stabbed to death by Julian Sands.
*The Black Cauldron (1985, animated) [The Horned King]: Providing the voice of an undead being, he is destroyed by the power of the cauldron, after supernatural forces carry him to the cauldron. (Thanks to ND)

*You're Dead... (1999) [Maitland]: Killed during the siege at the bank (though it's later revealed he faked his death so he could be smuggled out in a body bag and is later revived in the morgue by his daughter).

*Pride (2004) [Harry]: Pushed off of the edge by Sean Bean.
*Hellboy (2004) [Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm]: Impaled through the neck by Ladislav Beran. His body is later seen as Ron Perlman kneels by his side. (John was wearing make-up making him look older than he actually was at the time). (Note: John reprised the role as a young version of the character in a flashback scene in Hellboy II: The Golden Army) 
*Beyond The Gates (Shooting Dogs) (2005) [Father Christopher]: Shot repeatedly in the back and chest by a Hutu supporter (Louis Mahoney or Steve Toussaint) for being a Tutsi sympathizer as Hugh Dancy secretly looks on in shock.

==Television Deaths==
*Gideon's Way (Gideon C.I.D.): The Tin God (1964) [Freddy Tisdale]: Shot in the back by fellow escaped prisoner Derren Nesbitt when he goes to surrender to the police.
*I, Claudius (1976 TV series) [Caligula]: Stabbed to death by Sam Dastor and the other conspirators.
*Spectre (1977 TV) [Mitri Cyon]: Burned to death; his form is later assumed by Asmodeus and ultimately destroyed at the end of the movie.
*King Lear (1984 TV) [The Fool]: Possibly executed by hanging (off-screen) by Robert Lindsay's allies. Laurence Olivier states "...and my poor fool is hanged", but he's not of sound mind, and may actually be speaking of his dead daughter Anna Calder-Marshall. We don't actually see John after the storm scene, so it's unclear whether he was in fact killed or not.
*Deadline (1988 TV) [Granville Jones]: Dies (though I don't know the details.)
*Pyramid (1988 TV) [Pharaoh Khufu]: Dies of unknown causes shortly after the completion of the Great Pyramid of Giza, in which his body is subsequently entombed in accordance with ancient Egyptian funerary rituals.
*Masters of Science Fiction: The Discarded (2007) [Samswope]: Commits suicide by repeatedly bashing his head against a reinforced window. His body is later seen as the other mutants begin to remove him/it.
*Whistle and I'll Come To You (2010 TV) [James Parkin]: Killed (off-screen) by an apparation (who makes it look like he died of shock); we last see John attempting in vain to escape the room as the spirit (disguised as his wife) sits on the edge of his bed. The scene cuts to the next morning to reveal John lying dead slumped over his bed (when Gemma Jones discovers him) with his wife no longer shown at the rest home.
*Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor (2013) [The War Doctor]: Dies of old age; his body then begins to regenerate into Christopher Eccleston as it cuts away (Christopher does not appear in this special as he turned down reprising his role).
==Short Film Deaths==
*Sailcloth (2011) [The Man]: Commits suicide by drowning himself in the sea.
