  • Alfred Hitchcock Presents: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (1959) [Peyton Farquhar]: Executed by hanging by Union soldiers at the bridge; at first, it appears that the rope breaks and that he escapes, but this is later revealed to be the imagination of his dying mind (which ends as the rope breaks his neck).
  • The Four Just Men: The Deserter (1959) [Colonel Parkes]: Shot on the roof of the garrison by rebel Thomas Hare. He topples to the ground and dies later in hospital. (Thanks to Brian)
  • Danger Man: The Traitor (1960) [Noel Goddard]: Dies in his hotel room after being moved from his cool mountain top home to the sweltering city. We have learnt from his wife Barbara Shelley that he has only one functioning lung and that the heat will kill him. (Thanks to Brian)
  • Combat!: What Are the Bugles Blowin' For?: Part 2 (1964) [Capt. Johns]: Dies off-camera from an abdominal wound he received in a previous firefight. He lived long enough to accept the German surrender from Erik Holland.
