All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) [Paul Baumer]: Shot to death by a French sniper as he reaches out of the trench to touch a butterfly. We only see a close-up of his character's hand (director Lewis Milestone actually used his own hand in the final close-up).
Damien: Omen II (1978) [Bill Atherton]: Drowned/frozen in the river after Jonathan Scott-Taylor's powers cause him to fall through the ice, while the others try to rescue him. (his part was a stand-in after he fell through the ice). (Thanks to Robert)

Columbo: Mind over Mayhem (1974) [Dr. Howard Nicholson]: Run over with a car by Jose Ferrer (who stages the murder to look like a burglary) outside Lew's house.
