* ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]'' has its own version of this trope, where a dead body's eyes are ''always'' displayed as X's, neither open nor shut. This is lampshaded in [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0444.html this strip], where Durkon is looking at Roy's corpse through a spy-glass and Haley asks him whether "he has the X's in his eyes" that prove his death.
** Also when Haley and Belkar are sneaking out of occupied Azure City; Celia uses an illusion to appear as a demon, while the two mortals draw X's over their eyelids and lie very still on the cart so they appear to be corpses.
* ''[[Homestuck]]'': Midway through Act 5 Act 2, the [[All Trolls Are Different|trolls]] start dying; most of the dead trolls die with their eyes open, as a result of being actively fighting when they were murdered. The exceptions are [[Team Mom|Kanaya]], who [[Our Vampires Are Different|got better]], and [[The Heart|Nepeta]], whose death was not actually seen, possibly as part of a [[SchrodingersSchrödinger's Cat|SchrodingerSchrödinger's]] [[Catgirl|cat]] pun, though her eyes were open later when [[Monster Clown|Gamzee]] got ahold of her decapitated head.
