Death alone isn't Harsher In Hindsight. In Williams's case it counts because the film featuring suicide mirrors his own tragic passing.


** With Max Von Sydow’s passing, another beloved icon from this movie is no longer with us.

** Did Chris Nielsen's attempts to communicate with the living after death do [[NiceJobBreakingItHero more harm than good?]] Why didn't his SpiritAdvisor warn him about the dangers of making contact with the living. Would this make Chris and his advisor slightly responsibile for [[DrivenToSuicide Annie's suicide]]? However, it was shown that Annie was clinically depressed and tried to kill herself at the threat of a divorce, so her children ''and'' her husband being killed sent her over the edge.

** Chris is a bit saddened to hear that Annie killed herself, but then he starts taking solace in the fact that she won't be apart from him for much longer, and Albert, who has given the news, is ''desperately'' trying to stop Chris from fantasizing about an imminent happy reunion. It hits even harder when you learn that [[spoiler:his son Ian was wearing the guise of Albert the whole time, meaning Ian had to inform his own father of his mother's death, and then break the news that she went to Hell as a result.]]

** Chris comes upon a multi-car accident scene in a tunnel. Going to help a woman trapped hanging upside down in her car, Chris turns and sees ''another car flying through the air toward him'' right before the screen cuts to black. That, and the overhead views of him lying bloody on the road and later in a hospital bed is also ''extremely'' unsettling.
