Line 77:
** More precisely, he catches the flu from the girl's brother, but has neither the inherited resistance nor the will to fight it. (The movie is more explicitly Death by Despair: he hangs himself after the failure of his courtship dance.)
* In [[Gene Stratton Porter]]'s ''[[Freckles]]'', Freckles's conviction that he is unworthy of Angel is killing him after his injuries.
* [[The Three Musketeers|Porthos' servant Mousqueton]] was devastated when Porthos died. Porthos' will left him lots of rich clothing (Mousqueton had always been fond of dressing well) and charged Vicomte Raoul de Bragelonne to look after him kindly for the rest of his life. After hearing the will read, Mousqueton went to Porthos' bedchamber, spread out the garments he'd just inherited on the bed, lay atop them, and died.
