* Tie-in novel ''[[Halo]]: The Flood'' features this, mainly as a way for the reader to get information about a battle [[Undead Author|that no one actually survived]].
* Subverted in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' 2-part season finale "Army of Ghosts"/"Doomsday": Rose Tyler begins each part saying "This is the story of how I died"...only it turns out she was merely trapped in a parallel universe while being declared dead in her own. Since she is separated from the Doctor forever though, this could have [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|more than one meaning]]...
* Played straight in the final episode of ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'', in a section called "River Song's Story" - River Song sums up the events of her life [[Timey-Wimey Ball|in the order she experiences them, as opposed to the order the viewers saw them]], up to and including her death. Justified in that her consciousness was subsequently saved in a computer, and it's that version of her narrating the story, post-[[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S4S30/E09 Forest of the Dead|"Forest of the Dead"]]. We see her telling the end of the story at the end of that episode.
* ''[[Grave of the Fireflies]]''. "September 21st, 1945... That was the night I died."
* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'': {{spoiler|X-9}} in the Tale of X-9 Film-noir episode.
