* ''[[Dead of Summer]]'' has a lot of deaths, being a [[Zombie Apocalypse]] story. One among them stands out, though.

* The Asperpedia Four in ''[[Sonichu]]''. After a deeply biased trial, Alec, Evan, Mao and Sean are sentenced to death. Alec is strapped to an electric chair, as each of the main characters tell him to go to hell. Sean is killed by firing squad. But that's small potatoes compared to the last two. Mao is torn apart by Chris's psychic powers, and worst of all, Evan is chained up and brutally tortured to death, by an ''eight year old girl, nonetheless.'' And this is after Chris criticised Asperchu for its excessive violence. [[Moral Event Horizon|Just... damn, Chris.]] |

* ''[[Homestuck]]'' has had quite a few unpleasant deaths during Act 5 Act 2, but Neophyte Redglare's takes the cake. She either a.) didn't know about or b.) severely underestimated Mindfang's mind control abilities. As a result, Mindfang manipulates the angry mob at her trial into lynching Redglare and hanging her with one of her own nooses. Given that the story is written from Mindfang's point of view, it is highly unlikely Redglare survived the encounter. |

* ''[[Looking for Group]]'''s very own [[Heroic Sociopath]], Richard, revels in this trope. This appears to be mainly due to the fact that Richard, being an ageless, undead warlock, as well as a sadist without equal, needed something to keep him going throught the centuries, but also due to his inability to distinguish "[[Crossing the Line Twice|going too far]]", and "[[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|going much, MUCH further than merely 'too far']]". |
