Film Deaths[]
- The Gift of Love (1958) [Julie Beck]: Dies of a heart attack.
- Appointment with Death (1988) [Lady Westholme]: Commits suicide by shooting herself in the head; we hear the shot, then see her body fall against the window. Her body is shown again lying on the floor in the foreground while Peter Ustinov and John Gielgud discuss the case.

Television Deaths[]
- Blithe Spirit (1956) [Elvira Condomine]: Dies of a heart attack (off-screen), several years before the story begins; she appears as a ghost to Noel Coward throughout the movie after Mildred Natwick holds a seance. (I haven't seen this version, but I have seen Kay Hammond in the 1945 version.)
- Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke (1999) [Doris Duke]: Dies in her bedroom of complications from her third stroke, and possibly poisoned by Richard Chamberlain.
- Family Guy: Mom's the Word (2014) [Evelyn]: Crushed to death (accidently) when Peter Griffin (voice by Seth MacFarlane) hugs her too tight after they decided to be friends again. (Played for comic effect.)
