* Perhaps not a total Existence Failure, but what happened to mangaka Kyoko Okazaki certainly comes close - in 1996, she was hit by a drunk driver before completing the last few chapters of her [[Body Horror]]-esque cosmetic surgery drama ''Helter Skelter''. The resulting accident [[And I Must Scream|left her quadriplegic and mute]]. The manga was finished in 2004, by her former assistant [[Sugar Sugar Rune|Moyoco Anno]] (yup, the wife of [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Hideaki Anno]]), working from Okazaki's storyboards and with her consultation, albeit on a [[Cliff Hanger]]. Poor Mrs. Okazaki's rehabilitation continues to this day - thirteen YEARS later.
* Takahiro Yamato of ''[[Kaze no Stigma]]'' is now dead.
* [[
** On the other hand, ''[[Crayon Shin-chan]]'' is more like a newspaper comic in terms of presentation (i.e., there's a "sliding timeline", and doesn't really have much of an overall plot; the anime is more like a [[Sitcom]] in this respect), so his death won't have that much of an impact on the original manga. The anime (which mostly uses original stories not found in the manga anyway) was put on hiatus for a few weeks after his death, but it was later announced it would continue. Now the word has come that (in another parallel with newspaper comics) the manga will also continue with a new author.
* Keiko Tobe, the mangaka of ''[[With the Light]]'', died of an unspecified illness in late January 2010, leaving the manga unfinished.
* [[Satoshi Kon]] suddenly died while making a film called ''The Dream Machine'', which he described as aimed at a younger audience but accessible for his older fans, with a cast made entirely of robots.
