Film Deaths
- Escape from New York (1981) [The Duke of New York]: Machine-gunned by Donald Pleasence after Donald makes it to safety across the bridge.
TV Deaths
- Sliders: Obsession (1997) [The Prime Oracle]: Dies (off-screen) of a cerebral hemorrhage he was able to predict earlier in the episode.
- South Park: The Return of Chef (2006; animated) [Chef]: Mauled to death by both a mountain lion and a bear after falling from a suspension bridge and being impaled on a tree branch. (This episode was done after Isaac's much-publicized departure from the show; Isaac's "performance" was created by re-editing clips of previously-recorded dialogue.) (Thanks to Robert)
