We see his face starting to distort/break up as they're kissing, and his death is confirmed after Patrick Stewart telepathically senses it. His death is later undone when the timeline is altered in X-Men Days of Future Past. (Thanks to Mathew and Neil)

- Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013) [Jack Lime]: Presumably killed in an explosion, along with his news team, when Steve Carell drops a sparkler into the gasoline that Vince Vaughn's gang had leaked at their feet, during a confrontation between them and Will Ferrell's news team. (It's not clear, aside from Ferrell, Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner who survived the incident.) (Played for comedic effect.)
- The Best of Me (2014) [Dawson Cole]: Bleeds to death after being shot in the chest by his father Sean Bridgers with a sniper rifle at a train crossroads, he dies whilst looking skyward, with his heart being donated to Michelle Monaghan's son Ian Nelson, so she won't have to outlive another child.

He is brought back to life when Gabriella Baldacchino wishes for her life to return to normal.
