Film Deaths[]
- The Thing (1982) [Vance Norris]: Killed (off-screen) and assimilated by the alien, assuming his appearance. His death is revealed when the alien (in Charles' form) changes after Richard Dysart tries to revive him from a heart attack. For good measure, his body (and his escaping head) is incinerated with a flamethrower by Kurt Russell.
- Pale Rider (1985) [McGill]: Shot to death along with Randy Oglesby, Marvin J. McIntyre and Allen Keller by Clint Eastwood.
- True Believer (1989) [Vincent Dennehy]: While Charles is still alive when he's last seen talking to James Woods, it's clear that he's in the final stages of terminal cancer (or some other illness) and will very soon be dead, which is why he was so willing to volunteer incriminating information.
- The Fan (1996) [Coop] Head bashed in with a baseball bat by Robert De Niro.
- Dante's Peak (1997) [Paul Dreyfus]: Drowns in the river after his van gets caught in the bridge as it collapses while his team looks on. (Wilhelm scream is heard as he falls backwards)
Television Deaths[]
- Wild Palms (1993; Miniseries) [Gavin Whitehope]: Killed by Ben Savage.
