Film Deaths

• Amadeus (1984) [Emperor Josef II]: His death was not mentioned in any dialogue, not even from F. Murray Abraham since Jeffery had died from illness, over a year before Tom Hulce dies from exhaustion.
• Out on a Limb (1992) [Matt Skearns/Peter Van Der Haven]: Playing twin brothers, "Peter" is murdered by "Matt" (off screen); his death is revealed when "Peter" tells Matthew Broderick and Heidi Kling. "Matt" commits suicide by driving his car over a cliff during a police chase.
• Stay Tuned (1992) [Mr. Spike]: Presumably eaten by a Rottweiler dog (off-screen) after Eugene Levy cuts the rope to the chandelier that Jeffrey is hiding on, causing him to crash to the floor.
• Ed Wood (1994) [Criswell]: Dies (off screen) of cardiac arrest, years after the story ends; his death is mentioned in the on-screen text at the end of the film.
• The Devil's Advocate (1997) [Eddie Barzoon]: Beaten to death by two homeless men in the park, in a mugging that was actually brought about by Al Pacino's Satanic influence.
• Ravenous (1999) [Colonel Hart]: Throat slit by Guy Pearce as a mercy killing after Jeffrey becomes troubled by his cannibalistic ways.
• Sleepy Hollow (1999) [Reverend Steenwyck]: Shot in the chest by Michael Gambon after Jeffrey fatally bludgeons Ian McDiarmid with a cross; his body is shown lying face down when the camera moves across the hallway through the church.
• Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024) [Charles Deetz]: While Jeffrey does not physically appear in this film, it is revealed that his character from the original film was killed when his plane crashed into the sea and a shark bit him in half (this course of events is revealed during an animated sequence); the lower portion of his body appears as a ghost later on in the film.
