Line 4:
Significant character [[Killed Off for Real|deaths]] tend to take place outdoors on a partly cloudy day. The dying character will look up at [[Cue the Sun|the sun]] just as it starts to be obscured by a cloud, optionally [[Grasp the Sun|reaching out for it with one hand]], and will die as the sun [[Anvilicious|Anviliciously]] disappears into the clouds. Hell, it might even start raining at that very moment.
A related variant schedules the death at a [[Cue the Sun|conveniently timed sunrise or sunset]]. Death at sunrise stresses the benefits of a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]; death at sunset is generally [[Because Destiny Says So]], and will be [[Alas, Poor Villain|sad even if they deserve it]].
Symbolic subtrope of [[Empathic Environment]] and ~He's Dead Jim~. If it rains into the [[Dies Wide Open]] eyes, not so symbolic [[He's Dead, Jim]].
