** There was also an episode where a fire broke out at a club. Two members of the [[spoiler:white supremacist]] band burned to death, an audience member was trampled, and another was stabbed.
* Happens in ''Series/{{CSINY}}'', too:
** An acting troupe throws a high-class fundraiser centered on UsefulNotes/MarieAntoinette, in none other than the UN building. The actress playing Marie dies as a prop "guillotine" apparently fatally breaks her neck. Unsurprisingly, the deal turns out to be far more complicated. [[spoiler: She was actually poisoned with "infected" candy, after having confronted the acting troupe leader over him supposedly using her name to commit scams... and she did that after her CreepyChild co-actress convinced her to do so...]]
** A UsefulNotes/FormulaOne racer's car [[StuffblowingUp explodes]] during an exhibition race - with him inside. The car turns out to have been tampered with and the suspects include the victim's wife, his manager, a female rival, and a newbie racer.

* 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.
