* Used in one of the stories told on ''Beyond Belief: Fact Or Fiction'', where during a pro wrestling match, the guy who was booked to lose died during the match. Of course, the history between the two meant that the dead guy, who was always showing up his current opponent looked like he was just deciding to sell like a ragdoll, and since the guy who won thought he was legitimately winning that way, nobody knew he was dead until after the match. Upon finding out that he was only winning because he was fighting a corpse, the narrator then says "even in victory, he was a loser."

When he collapses and dies on stage, it takes a while before the audience realizes something's wrong. Subverted when he later turns up alive, his death being a misdiagnosis...only for him to die later offstage.
Added DiffLines:
* ''Series/PokerFace'':
** "Rest In Metal" sees a heavy metal drummer die onstage when the microphone he's singing into overloads and electrocutes him. His bandmates sabotaged the mike so he couldn't claim songwriting credit for their latest hit.
** "Exit Stage Death" has two bickering actors in a stage play sabotage the props to injure or kill each other. First, the spotlight sabotaged by the female lead falls near the male lead, triggering a heart attack. Then, the male lead's wife runs up onstage to give him medication only to fall through the trap door he sabotaged and fall to her death [[spoiler:just as the actors planned.]]
** "The Orpheus Syndrome" has Charlie befriend a visual effects artist who once directed a B-movie monster film. The film's production was marred by an actress drowning while filming an underwater scene and the artist has been troubled by it ever since. [[spoiler:It turns out that the producer sabotaged the actress's distress signal so they could finally complete the shot.]]

* Wrestling/OwenHart fell to his death in Kemper Arena (now known as Hy-Vee Arena) in UsefulNotes/KansasCity during WWE's ''Over the Edge'' pay-per-view show in 1999, while preparing for a big stunt entrance that would see him, as his Wrestling/HulkHogan parody character The Blue Blazer, being lowered in from the rafters. He had done so in a rehearsal earlier in the day with no problems, but unlike Wrestling/{{Sting}}'s harness circa 1997, which had multiple connection points and a full vest that took a good amount of time to remove once he actually landed, Owen's contraption was held with [[NoOSHACompliance a single release point around his chest]] that could be (and probably was) triggered simply by breathing too deeply. According to rumor, this was because he was ''supposed'' to end the stunt by coming off the rig a few feet above the ground and falling on his face (on the mat, not the top rope), in keeping with his character persona of being bumbling and incompetent. However, the riggers failed to recognize that they also needed to ensure it ''wouldn't'' release when it ''wasn't'' supposed to, and what Hart ended up with was a rig that was ''so'' easy to release that it was an accident waiting to happen (Hart's family would later allege that the WWE hired unqualified riggers in order to save on costs rather than pay the higher price for qualified experts who would have known better). He ended up falling nearly seventy-eight feet while being lowered, where his chest impacted the top rope. He managed to survive until arriving at the hospital but was soon after pronounced dead from a severed blood vessel near the heart.
