| Alan Bates (1934 - 2003) |
| Britannia Hospital (1982) [Mr. Macready]: Dies in the hospital when Graham Crowden disconnects his life-support equipment, then cuts off Alan's head to use as part of his Frankenstein-like patchwork creation. The Wicked Lady (1983) [Jerry Jackson]: It's been a long time since I've seen this movie, so my memory is vague, but I believe he was executed by hanging. A Prayer for the Dying (1987) [Jack Meehan]: Killed in an explosion when his own bomb goes off as he's carrying it across the roof. (Thanks to ND) Hamlet (1990) [King Claudius]: Stabbed in the stomach with a poison-tipped sword by Mel Gibson, then forced to drink the wine he himself had poisoned. The Sum of All Fears (2002) [Dressler]: Killed in an explosion when he uses the booby-trapped cigarette lighter in his car. |
