Film Deaths

• Fort Apache (1948) [Sgt. Beaufort]: One of Henry Fonda's men in the remaining platoon overrun by the Apaches in the mouth of the canyon. Shown from a distance.

• 3 Godfathers (1948) [Pedro 'Pete' Roca Fuerte]: Commits suicide (off-camera) by shooting himself, after breaking his leg in the desert and telling John Wayne to go on without him. We hear the shot as John walks away. (Thanks to Brian)
