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 ''[[
** Near the end of ''[[
** In ''[[
* ''[[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

=== 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]]''.
