* This is part of how Henry Morgan's immortality works in ''{{Series/Forever|2014}}''. Whenever he dies, he wakes up naked in a nearby large body of water. As the show is set in New York City, this usually means the East River. This makes for "some rather awkward situations" as he's been arrested for SkinnyDipping more than once. He claims to Lieutenant Reece that he's a [[{{Sleepwalking}} somnambulist]] and he SleepsInTheNude.

While they cannot be fully naked, it's amusing to see them waking up (if they were sedated) in a dark alley in underwear and running around covering their crotch.
