Film Deaths

• Mimic (1997) [Leonard]: Killed by one of the Judas breed mutant giant insects, after he shoots it repeatedly, causing it to fall down onto him, impaling and crushing him (after Charles sacrifices himself to lure the Judas breed away from Jeremy Northam, so Northam can destroy their nest).
