(2) Stabbed by Claire Bloom after he blames her for her own rape. (3) Commits suicide by stabbing himself in shame over failing to prevent Claire's rape. (4) Accidentally falls onto the knife during a fight with Paul. (See also Masayuki Mori in Rashomon.)

TV Deaths[edit | edit source]
- Alfred Hitchcock Presents: Arthur (1959) [Arthur Williams]: Devoured by the chickens on his farm, some time after the final scene; his death is mentioned in Alfred Hitchcock's narration at the end of the episode (as was standard for episodes where the villain goes unpunished in the actual story).
- Night Gallery: The Caterpillar (1972) [Steven Macy]: Brain presumably devoured by earwigs (off-screen); the episode ends with John Williams informing Laurence that the earwig that was in his head laid eggs on his brain.
