List of deaths

Broadcast Standards and Practices did not always allow for depicting death on-screen. Several characters faced ambiguous deaths, trapped in a fiery blaze or explosion, or falling off a cliff. However, there were some deaths that were explicitly shown or labeled as such. This list is those who are confirmed deceased on-screen, are mentioned as deceased, or have an ambiguous death.
