Joe Morton

Film Deaths

Trouble in Mind (1985) [Solo]: Drowned (off-screen) when some of Divine's thugs fill his car with water. (It's never explained how this was accomplished.) His body is shown afterwards when Kris Kristofferson discovers him and opens the car door, letting out all the water.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) [Dr. Miles Bennett Dyson]: Bleeds to death some time after being repeatedly shot by a SWAT team. Having opted to remain behind while Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong make their escape, the dying Joe is last seen holding a piece of his broken chip above the detonator to a bomb, which he promptly drops as soon as he expires, triggering the bomb and destroying the Terminator technology.

The Astronaut’s Wife (1999) [Sherman Reese, NASA Representative]: Killed (off screen) by the possessed Johnny Depp; we only see him being led away by Johnny with his death reported on TV news.

American Gangster (2007) [Charlie Williams]: Killed off-screen by assassins/corrupt cops (My memory is vague but I recall he died at the end)

Challenger (1990 TV) [Dr. Ronald McNair]: Killed off-screen in the explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger. The movie ends with the shuttle taking off, followed by a symbolic scene of the seven crew members and the passengers reciting a poem used to eulogize them.

Homicide: Life on the Street: Happy to be Here (1994) [Sam Thorne]: Shot in the head off-screen by an assassin in a restaurant; his body is seen sitting at a table when police investigate the scene.

The X-Files: Redrum (2000) [Martin Wells]: Shot repeatedly in the stomach and chest by Lee Duncan as he is being led to a police van. Joe's death becomes undone when time itself is rewinded back five days.

Smallville: Duplicity (2002) [Dr. Steven Hamilton]: Dies when his skeleton shatters due to vibrating at superhuman speed from exposure to kryptonite fragments stuck in his skin.
