Death by Falling Over: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* Zoro's rival Kuina died by falling down a flight of stairs in ''[[One Piece]]'' ... offscreen.

* Happens to Hyatt in ''[[Excel Saga (manga)|Excel Saga]]''. She need not fall from any sort of height, however. She just falls over where she stands and dies. And then gets up and usually apologizes.<ref>Actually, given how delicate Hyatt is, she probably dies before she hits the ground. Only to come back to life before she hits the ground, in order to die properly when she hits the ground.</ref>

** It happened to Richard's corrupt doctor via a table.

* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'': Claire somehow manages to fall onto a big chunk of wood that gets [[Pretty Little Headshots|stuck in her brainstem]], [[Good Thing You Can Heal|fortunately]] normally fatal wounds don't bother her much (she [[Healing Factor|regenerates]]). She [[Waking Up At the Morgue|wakes up in the morgue]] when it's removed. Another time, getting tackled and knocked to the ground [[Made of Plasticine|somehow]] twists her neck around 180 degrees.

* There's a ''[[Columbo]]'' episode where the "murder" happens like this. Fortunately, the "murderer" is a blackmailer as well, so we're not meant to be any more sympathetic towards him than any other Columbo villain.

* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the Sixth Doctor's regeneration was triggered when the TARDIS took a direct hit, the console room shook, and the Doctor was knocked off his feet. Fans have speculated that he was injured by a fatal knock to the head or some such when he fell, but it's impossible to tell from the scene as filmed.
