  • The Tall Guy (1989) [Dexter King]: In the play within the film musical adaptation of The Elephant Man, Jeff (playing John Merrick) suffocates in his sleep; he dies as other cast members sing him off to heaven (Jeff survives the film in reality) (Played for comic effect).

(This is in reference to a faulty news report about his death that occurred in real life.) (Played for comic effect.)
