Television Deaths[]
- Winter Kill (1974) [Dave Michaels]: Shot in the back with a shotgun by Charles Tyner while Nick is skiing.
- Barnaby Jones: Dark Legacy (1974) [Paul Barringer]: Pushed off of a cliff. (I haven't seen this episode, but got the information from an episode guide.)

We only see the troopers take the child, followed by a shot of Kuiil dead on the ground. His body is later seen in the next episode (Chapter 8: Redemption) when Pedro Pascal finds and buries him. (Since Nick provided the voice of the character and Misty Rosas provided the motion performance, it'll be listed on both pages).
- Poker Face: The Orpheus Syndrome (2023) [Arthur Liptin]: Poisoned by Cherry Jones. Natasha Lyonne finds him unconscious on the driveway, and he's later pronounced dead. We later see him again as Cherry Jones' hallucinations.
