* While he survived, let's not forget J.R. Ewing from ''[[Dallas]]''.
** Similarly, Lionel Luthor from ''[[Smallville]]''. Of course, when he ''did'' die, this trope was averted.
* Subversion in one ''[[CSI: Crime Scene Investigation]]''. The victim is an asshole to his four co-workers, all of whom were the only ones to have access to the room he died in. The audience is led to believe that a combination of two or more of the four are the ones who offed the [[Jerkass]] (all of whom are pretty jerkassy themselves).

He didn't know the guy and removed the hammer because he didn't want to go back to jail.
** It happens many, many times in the ''
*** A clingy ex-wife who insisted on making life hell for her ex-husband and children. She tried to ''put a hit on herself'' to frame her ex-husband and when she couldn't do it, she ''tricked her own son'' into killing her for the same reason.
