Film Deaths

  • Back to the Future (1985) [Dr. Emmett Brown]: In the original, Christopher is shot by a Libyan terrorist Richard L. Duran, but when Michael J. Fox returns to the present time at the end of the movie, it is revealed that Christopher was wearing a bullet-proof vest to protect himself from a note that Michael had written for him in the past to warn him of his impending death. (Due to the time-paradoxes in the script, it's open to interpretation whether or not Christopher had the bullet-proof vest on the whole time.)
  • Walk Like a Man (1987) [Reggie Shand/Henry Shand]: Playing a dual role, 'Henry' freezes in Alaska while on a camping trip with family while Howie Mandel was lost since he was a baby. ('Reggie' survives the film.)
  • Track 29 (1988) [Henry Henry]: Stabbed to death (off-screen) by Theresa Russell in the attic; we only see a bloodstain forming on the ceiling after Theresa leaves the house. Shortly beforehand, there is a scene of Christopher being stabbed repeatedly by Gary Oldman; however, since we hear Christopher's voice coming from upstairs after that scene, it's established that Gary is only a figment of Theresa's imagination, the on-screen stabbing is only Theresa's fantasy.
  • Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) [Judge Doom]: Melted in "dip" after revealing himself to be a toon and attempting to kill Bob Hoskins.
  • Back to the Future Part II (1989) [Dr. Emmett Brown]: His original character "Emmett Brown" presumably dies off-screen, of old age/natural causes between the 1985 and 2015 time. Since there's no mention or indication of his future 2015 self. (I don't know if this 'll count but I'll just list it in case).
  • Anastasia (1997; animated) [Rasputin]: Drowned when he falls into an icy lake while trying to kill the young Anastasia (voiced by Kirsten Dunst); he returns through supernatural means, and is finally destroyed when Anastasia (voiced by Meg Ryan) smashes the cylinder containing his soul. causing him to decompose into a skeleton and crumble to dust. (All historically inaccurate as this is a fantasy cartoon film, IRL Rasputin was poisoned, shot and drowned.)
  • Dead Before Dawn 3D (2012) [Horus Galloway]: Commits suicide by stabbing himself in the head with his trophy, after Devon Bostick and his friends make eye contact with him; he comes back to life as a zombie-demon soon after, and is killed again when Brandon Jay McLaren hits him over the head with a baseball bat. His death is undone when Devon sacrifices himself in order to remove the curse from the town. (Played for comic effect.)
  • Foodfight (2012; animated) [Mr. Clipboard]: Providing the voice of a robot controlled by Lady X (Voiced by Hilary Duff) he is broken when Dex Dogtective (voiced by Charlie Sheen) and his friends tripped him causing him to fall and brake.
  • I Am Not a Serial Killer (2016) [Bill Crowley]: Dies after being drained of blood by Max Records, who straps him to a table and pumps enbalming fluid through his veins. His body immedietely begins rotting and a demon is released from his chest, which then commits suicide by stabbing itself with an enbalming needle.

TV Deaths

When they go to his house to see if it worked the find him dead. In desperation they try another spell to bring him back in which Scott tears the head off the photograph of Christopher that was to go into the cauldron.

The story ends when Scott returns to school the next day to find Mary being punished and Christopher had sewn his head back onto his body.
