  • The Attic (1980) [Wendell]: Beaten to death by his daughter (Carrie Snodgress) after she discovers that he's been faking his paralysis for all those years. (It's been a long time since I've seen this movie, so my memory is hazy on the details.)
  • Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) [Sam Hastings]: Falls to his death from a window (off-screen), presumably thrown out by Carl Reiner's thugs (though the official explanation is that he accidentally fell while reaching for a liquor bottle). We learn of his death afterwards when Rachel Ward informs Steve Martin. (Ray's role in this film consisted entirely of footage from the 1945 film The Lost Weekend, edited together with new footage featuring Steve. The original character did not die in The Lost Weekend.)
