* ''Series/FatherBrown'': An understated one in "[[Recap/FatherBrownS4E10 The Wrath of Baron Samdi]]" when Father Brown realises he has been poisoned, but like the good Christian he is, is not angry or fearful, just a bit surprised. He just has time to ask ''how'' the poison was administered, and then, with a beatific smile and chuckle says:
-->'''Father Brown:''' Mrs. [=McCarthy=] was right. ''[beat]'' Never expected those to be my last words. ''[collapses to the ground]''
** Also subverted, because he's NotQuiteDead.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS2E65TheObsoleteMan The Obsolete Man]]" is one long one for Romney Wordsworth. He has been deemed obsolete due to his occupation as a librarian and sentenced to death. However, he's allowed to choose his method of execution. He chooses to have a bomb go off in his room and for the event to be televised. With less than half an hour to go, the Chancellor who ordered his execution decides to pay him one last visit and gloat about the superiority of the state's methods...which Wordsworth uses to lock him inside. Both men claim to FaceDeathWithDignity, but while Wordsworth calmly spends his final moments reading from his Bible, the Chancellor ultimately cracks and begs to God to be let out. Wordsworth frees him seconds before the bomb goes off and dies, but the Chancellor now has to face the reality that he showed great weakness and begged to God (who he claimed that the state had proven nonexistent) on live television. As such, ''he'' is declared obsolete -- something Wordsworth surely knew would happen. The ending implies he's also given the much more painful death of being ripped limb from limb by an angry mob.
