** Also, Light Yagami holds {{spoiler|L's dead body in this position, while grinning evilly after L [[Died in Your Arms Tonight|dies in his arms.]] }}
* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]] [[The Movie|Advent Children]]'' used this in promotional artworks, most notably for the front cover of the OST. It shows [http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000CBNIJW.01-A2ZG40UZTGC4WR._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg Cloud and Kadaj].

*** This cover came about five years earlier than the Crisis cover mentioned above, so it's at least passably likely that the Crisis cover was an homage to THIS one.
*** Two more X-Men examples, both all-female: The cover of ''Uncanny X-Men'' #255 shows Mystique kneeling, holding the body of her leman Destiny in a pietà pose, and that of ''X-Men Annual" #1 (2006) shows Mystique sitting on the ground holding her injured daughter Rogue.

* In the fifth case of the original Ace Attorney game, Lana Skye holds her unconscious younger sister Ema in this manner after {{spoiler|Ema is attacked by a serial killer.}}

* ''[[Superjail (Animation)|Superjail]]'': When {{spoiler|the [[Littlest Cancer Patient]] dies,}} one of the prisoners holds her like this.
