Sam Troughton in Black Doves: The Coming Night
Sam Troughton (1977 - )
Film Deaths[]
- Alien vs. Predator (2004) [Thomas Parks]: Dies (off-screen) when an alien bursts out of his chest after incubating in his body; we last see him when Agathe De La Boulaye regains consciousness and sees him with the alien "facehugger" on his head, just before an alien bursts out of her chest (as will inevitably happen to Sam shortly afterwards).
- National Theatre Live: King Lear (2014) [Edmund]: To be added
- The Ritual (2017) [Dom]: Tied to a post by woodland villagers as a sacrifice to their demon creature god. The monster hauls him away where it disembowels him and hangs his corpse in a tree.
- Napoleon (2023) [Robespierre]: Executed off-screen via the guillotine, after we see him shoot himself in the jaw in a failed attempt to kill himself.
Television Deaths[]
- Hex: Noir (2005) [Father Jez Hariot/Ramiel]: Strangled to death by Laura Pyper at the end of a fight, who then frames it to look like Sam has hanged himself in the church.
- The Hollow Crown: Richard III (2016) [George, Duke of Clarence]: Stabbed by Geoff Bell and Josef Altin, then drowned in a bucket, on Benedict Cumberbatch’s orders.
- Chernobyl (2019 mini-series) [Alexander Akimov]: Dies (offscreen) of acute radiation syndrome; he is last seen being interviewed by Emily Watson in his hospital room, face unseen (though it's clear from the decomposition of his lower body that he doesn't have long to live). His death is not revealed until Jared Harris later informs her that Sam has lost consciousness and expired.
- Ragdoll: Episode 6 (2021) [Thomas Massey]: Strikes his head on the concrete floor when he is thrown off a train station balcony by his mother (Samantha Spiro), while a crowd of onlookers rush to his aid, while blood pours out of the back of his head.
- Black Doves: The Coming Night (2024) [Stephen Yarrick]: Throat slashed with a knife by a masked man, seen on a video that Keira Knightley watches.
