Film Deaths[]
- The Beguiled (1971) [Corporal John McBurney]: Possibly poisoned by eating mushrooms prepared by Geraldine Page and her students; however, some subsequent dialogue suggests that the mushrooms weren't poisonous, and he died of a heart attack brought on by his fear that he'd been poisoned. The movie leaves it up to the viewer to decide which is the actual explanation.
- High Plains Drifter (1973) [The Stranger/Marshal Jim Duncan]: Possibly whipped to death by the film`s antagonists. The ending of the film strongly implies that he was the ghost of Jim Duncan who came back to avenge his own death.
- Escape from Alcatraz (1979) [Frank Morris]: Possibly drowned, along with Fred Ward and Jack Thibeau (off-screen) during the escape. (The real Frank Morris' body was never found, leaving it open to the possibility that he successfully escaped, but it's believed that he didn't make it.)
- Honkytonk Man (1982) [Red Stoval]: Dies of tuberculosis.
- The Bridges of Madison County (1995) [Robert Kincaid]: Dies (off-screen) of unspecified causes; we learn of his death afterwards when Meryl Streep receives the camera he had left her.
- Blood Work (2002) [Terry McCaleb]: Has two "deaths". Clinically dead after suffering a heart-attack; he is revived after a heart transplant. Shot to death by Jeff Daniels in a dream sequence. (He survives the film in reality.)
- Gran Torino (2008) [Walt Kowalski]: Shot repeatedly by gang members after he reaches for his cigarette lighter (deliberately leading them to think he was going for a gun), sacrificing himself to ensure the gang's arrest.
