Line 305:
* In ''[[Groosham Grange]]'', a school inspector is tortured by Miss Windergast's black voodoo magic (namely a [[Voodoo Doll]]) in an attempt to [[These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know|prevent him from discovering the truth about the school]] and he ultimately falls off a cliff to his death. This example of the trope is a subvert as the school inspector was '''not''' a villain.
* ''[[Discworld]]'' examples:
** At the end of ''[[Discworld/Wyrd Sisters|Wyrd Sisters]]'', after Duke Felmet has gone over the edge and started believing himself to be a ghost, he [[Incredibly Lame Pun|literally goes over the edge]] of a parapet while dramatically ranting to [[The Grim Reaper|Death]] about how he plans to haunt Lancre Castle.
** Near the end of ''[[Discworld/Guards! Guards!|Guards! Guards!]]'', the Night Watch has the bad guy cornered, and Captain Vimes orders Constable Carrot to "throw the book at him". Carrot, who was raised by dwarves and [[Blunt Metaphors Trauma|has trouble with metaphors]], literally [[Throw the Book At Them|hurls his copy of "The Laws and Ordinances of the Cities of Ankh and Morpork"]] at the villain, knocking him over a ledge.
** In ''[[Discworld/Hogfather|Hogfather]]'' Teatime's first death comes about from a fall. However, it's one he suffered when hanging on to Susan's leg, who asked herself "Is this guy crazy enough to kill the person holding him?" and based on the obvious answer, kicked him.
* ''[[Redwall]]'' has a variation. So far, in 21 books, [[Ancestral Weapon|The Sword of Martin the Warrior]] has only been used ''twice'' to directly kill the [[Big Bad]], and once in the most recent book, ''The Sable Quean''. They still can get crushed under giant bells (Cluny, ''Redwall''), Drown (Tsarmina, ''Mossflower''), Fall down a hole (Slagar, ''Mattimeo''), etc.
* In ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'' Mat Cauthon kills off {{spoiler|the ''gholam''}} using a Skimming gateway and this tactic. Bonus points for the fact that the emptiness inside a Skimming gateway is believed to be infinite. The victim should starve to death, assuming it ''can'' starve to death.
** Since it ''has'' to feed on {{spoiler|the blood of its victim}}, we could assume it can starve to death
Line 514:
 
=== Real Life ===
* Peter Nguyen's [http://www.doheth.co.uk/funny/exam-answers/Essay_-_Jimmy_McPerson "essay"] on Jimmy McPerson's role in [[World War II]] culminates in this happening to Hitler by way of a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]. No word on what happened to President Japan.
* Cesare Borgia died this way during his siege on Viana. This was depicted in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''.
