Film Deaths[]

  • First Blood (1982) [Sheriff Will Teasle]: Presumably dies (off-screen) from his injuries after getting himself wounded during a battle against Sylvester Stallone. (I’m not sure if that actually happened, but when we last see Sheriff Teasle being placed in a hospital bed and sent to an ambulance, it was most likely that he died either before or after getting transported to the hospital.)
  • Gorky Park (1983) [William Kirwill]: Disemboweled (off-screen) by Lee Marvin after being tied to a tree outside a farm. His body is shown afterwards when William Hurt arrives at the farm.
  • Silverado (1985) [Sheriff Cobb]: Shot to death in a shoot-out with Kevin Kline.
  • Legal Eagles (1986) [Cavanaugh]: Burned to death after being trapped in a burning building during a fight with Robert Redford.
  • The Belly of an Architect (1987) [Stourley Kracklite]: Commits suicide by jumping from the balcony of a building. His body is shown lying in the street below.
  • In Broad Daylight (1991) [Len Rowan]: Shot to death by an unknown assailant. (The real-life case that this was based on remains unsolved.)
  • Tommy Boy (1995) [Thomas 'Big Tom' Callahan II]: Dies of a heart attack during his wedding.
  • Death of a Salesman (2000) [Willy Loman]: Commits suicide by walking into traffic.
  • Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) [Jasper O'Shea]: Killed by shrapnel after Laurence Fishburne pulls the pin on a grenade on Brian's jacket. We only last see him on the ground mortally wounded.
