[[Sibling Team|Connor and]] [[Vigilante Man|Murphy]] are tied to chairs on either side of him, and Murphy falls to the ground beside him, taking his chair with him. While there can be no arms involved (because they are all tied), Rocco dies with Murphy's head [[Heartwarming Moments

* ''[[Tangled]]'': {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice|Flynn/Eugene dies]]}} in Rapunzel's arms. Thanks to a teardrop and the healing incantation, {{spoiler|he gets better.}} The position of the characters in this scene is [[Shout-Out|very reminiscent of]]...

** Actually subverts the usual form of this trope in that Sam doesn't get a chance to say goodbye or really anything at all—he just gets stabbed in the back, falls down, looks vaguely unfocused and dies. He barely seems to register Dean's presence.
** As a result, at the end of season 3, Dean dies in Sam's arms.
Line 174:
* Gene Hunt in ''[[Ashes to Ashes]]'' holds Sally (the prostitute from Hyde in 2.1), Supermack and Martin Summers in his arms as they die.
