Whenever a being, mechanical, magical or meaty, has [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] (or just glowing eyes, [[Doomy Dooms of Doom|Doom]] Sold Separately) these will flicker and fade out whenever they die. Much like a candle guttering on the last of its wick, death can turn off the literal light in someone's eyes. If the being also has natural [[Power Crystal|Power Crystals]]s in their body (or as the eyes themselves), these too will fade out.
 
The standard justification for having glowing eyes in the first place is that these eyes are not detecting by ambient light, so the death of the owner also terminates whatever biological, mystical, or [[Electronic Eyes|electronic process]] that makes them light up. It probably has more to do with the [[Rule of Cool]].
