* The ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' (''Series/{{Arrow}}'', ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'', ''Series/{{Supergirl 2015}}'', and ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'') alter many from Creator/DCComics:
** In the comics, both of [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Oliver Queen]]'s parents were TogetherInDeath (how exactly is DependingOnTheWriter) before his disappearance. In the show, his father performs a HeroicSuicide when he and Oliver were LostAtSea so the latter can have all the supplies for himself, while Oliver's mother was killed by [[ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} Slade Wilson]] near the end of his second year as a superhero.
** In the comics, her family's massacre was part of Helena Bertinelli's backstory in becoming the ComicBook/{{Huntress}}. Here, her father lives to see her don the identity and was killed in a crossfire during her second year as a costumed vigilante/criminal.
** In the comics, [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Dinah Laurel Lance]]'s mother and predecessor dies via Cancer. In the show, her sister and predecessor was murdered ([[BackFromTheDead though she gets better]]).
** In the comics, the murder of Tatsu Yamashiro's husband and children at the hands of the yakuza are an integral part of her backstory in becoming ComicBook/{{Katana}}. In the show, Tatsu's child dies due to a virus outbreak while she forcefully kills her husband in combat while already donning her superhero costume.
** In the comics, Larry Lance dies by TakingTheBullet for his wife [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Dinah Drake]]. In the show it's still the same, except he did it for the AlternateSelf of his late daughter [[ComicBook/BlackCanary Dinah Laurel Lance]].
** In the comics, ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} dies when his [[FusionDance physical half]], Ronnie Raymond, gets {{impaled|WithExtremePrejudice}} with a special sword and blows up. In the show, Ronnie dies by using the energy he and Martin Stein produce everytime they do and undo their FusionDance in order to close a wormhole that would have devoured Central City. Stein survives both encounters.
** In the comics, Iris West's mother ([[DependingOnTheWriter usually]]) dies via Cancer. In the show, it's via [=McGregor=]'s Syndrome.
** In the comics, Henry Allen dies while in prison before his son [[Franchise/TheFlash Barry]] can prove his innocence. In the show, he was released but is ultimately murdered by ComicBook/HunterZolomon to spite Barry.
** In the comics, Zor-El dies when Krypton exploded ([[DependingOnTheWriter usually]]). In the show, it's because of an off-screen HeroicSacrifice to ensure that Argo City would still function.
** In the comics, ComicBook/MartianManhunter's father did die on Mars. In the show, it's revealed that he actually survived, only to perform a HeroicSacrifice to save Earth during the ''Supergirl'' Season 3 finale.

* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' did this to several characters that also exist in [[ComicBook/TheWalkingDead the comics]].
** Otis gets DevouredByTheHorde thanks to being sacrificed by Shane in the show, instead of being bitten by Walkers in the Prison Arc like in the comics.
** In the show, Dale Horvath gets {{Mercy Kill}}ed by CanonForeigner Daryl Dixon after getting mauled by a walker. In the comics, it was Andrea who puts him down but due to getting bitten and having his remaining leg eaten by Cannibals.
** In the show, Shane Walsh was fatally stabbed by Rick Grimes before the latter son's Carl puts down the former's reanimated corpse. In the comics, it was Carl who kills Shane and it wasn't until much later when Rick puts down his reanimated corpse.
** Patricia is DevourdeByTheHorde while getting out of the Greene farm in the show. In the comics, she dies via BoomHeadshot during the conclusion of the Prison Arc.
** Lori Grimes suffers DeathByChildbirth in the show during the beginning of the Prison Arc , whereas she and her baby were blown-off by a shotgun during the said Arc's conclusion in the comics.
** While the cause of death is similar, Andrea dies differently in the mediums. In the show it happened in a much earlier timeline and it's because she's tied to a chair when an ally-turned walker bit her before committing SuicideByCop using Rick's revolver before she herself turns. In the comics, she discovers she was bitten after fighting a Walker horde during the Whisperers arc, and she actually turns before Rick puts her out for good with a knife.
** In the show, Ben was killed because he walks right in front of the Governor in a botched assassination by Merle Dixon. In the comics, Carl kills him. However, he's a DecompositeCharacter, and his {{Gender Flip}}ped counterpart Lizzie Samuels dies TruerToTheText with the exception that it was carol who did the job.
** In the show, Allen was killed by the Governor because he did not approved of the latter being a BadBoss. In the comics, he dies via Walker bite infection. However, he's a DecompositeCharacter, and his other counterpart Ryan Samuels dies TruerToTheText but only in a later time.
** In the show, Caesar Martinez was betrayed by the Governor and gets thrown to a horde of Walkers. In the comics, Rick Grimes [[CarFu runs him over]] and is then put down by Lilly Caul.
** In the show, the Governor brutally hacks Hershel Greene's head off before his reanimated head was put-out by Michonne for good. In the comics, the Governor [[BoomHeadshot just headshots him]].
** In the show, the Governor was {{impaled|ByExtremePrejudice}} by Michonne before Lilly Chambler fatally shoots him. In the comics, Lily Caul fatally shoots him before kicking his corpse to the Walkers to be DevouredByTheHorde.
** In the show, Tyreese dies because of massive blood loss and infection, first by Walker bite then by an already late LifeOrLimbDecision. In the comics, he's the one who suffered the fate of Hershel's TV counterpart mentioned above.
** In the show, Holly was killed by one of the Wolves and is put down by Denise before reanimation. In the comics, she was killed by Negan after a botched assassination attempt and her Walker form was put down by Rick after she bit Denise's arm.
** In the show, Nicholas committed suicide in a middle of [[ZergRush a Walker attack]]. In the comics, he was brutally hacked during the Saviors War and is put down by a RedShirt before reanimation.
** In the show, Ron Anderson was DevouredByTheHorde while attempting to leave Alexandria. The show made him a DecompositeCharacter consisting of two brothers; the younger brother Sam dies TruerToTheText, while the older InNameOnly older brother was killed by Michonne after holding both Rick and Carl at gunpoint following his mother and younger brother's deaths.
** In the show, Denise Cloyd dies via MoeGreeneSpecial courtesy of Dwight. In the comics, she dies because of a Walker bite and is then {{Mercy Kill}}ed by Michonne before reanimation.
** In the show, Abraham Ford dies after Negan repeatedly whacks his head with a barbwire-infused baseball bat. In the comics, he's the one who suffered the fate of Denise's TV counterpart mentioned above.
** While Glenn Rhee still dies after getting his head repeatedly whacked by Negan using a barbwire-infused baseball bat, the circumstances behind it are different in the mediums. In the show it happened as retaliation by Negan after Daryl Dixon retaliated against him for taunting Rosita Espinosa with Abraham's death mentioned above. In the comics, Glenn is simply Negan's chosen victim like Abraham's TV counterpart was.
** Happened with Tyreese's respective female relatives in both mediums. In the show, his sister Sasha performs a HeroicSuicide that is similar to Holly's death from the comics mentioned above to officially kickstart the Saviors War.

* The original ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' anime ended before the manga did. As a result, Angelica's death is different between versions: in the manga she was shot while in the anime she degenerated and died at the end of the series. ''Gunslinger Girl Teatrino'' {{retcon}}ned this into Maria just falling asleep, but it's inconsistent if it's a sequel to the original anime or not (most obviously, Angelica has a completely different design).
* The English dub of ''Anime/SonicX'' tried to censor Maria's death by saying she was [[NeverSayDie taken away]], not shot during the ARK massacre. They, however, forgot that Maria had a terminal illness thwt Gerald was trying to cure. With Shadow in a coma and Gerald executed, there's no way she survived the past 50 years. As a result the dub [[DubText unintentionally]] changed it so that Maria died of NIDS, not a gunshot wound.

She ripped and fell, but she fell onto a platform. After realizing all the atrocities she'd did, she decides to let herself fall to the ground.

Others simply end with Faust being taken to Hell by the demons he trafficked with. The 1994 movie ends with Faust being struck by a car.

** Even between games, deaths may change. In the original GBA VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Vexen gets stabbed in the back by Axel after Sora defeats him. He briefly pleads for his life before Axel strikes him again, thus killing him. In the remake, or PS2 port, Re:Chain of Memories however, Axel shoots him with a fireball once to shut him up before he can reveal Organization XIII's secret to Sora, then snaps his fingers and literally burns him up. Depending on who you ask, the former may be seen as more brutal and the latter as being LighterAndSofter. Then again, in the remake Vexen is given no time to beg for mercy which to some might be seen as more ruthless, and he burns to death even if it is all over within a matter of seconds. So an argument for which death is more brutal can be made for both versions, really.

Perhaps the death was slow and therefore not suitable for a film's pacing. Or perhaps the adapted version of the character was so despised, they required a more graphic or elaborate death.
This is quite common in family-oriented works - where characters who died off illnesses get sudden and more immediate deaths to make them more accessible for children. Back in the days of The Hays Code, some deaths had to be changed to meet the standards of the film's censors. In works prone to AdaptationExpansion - where the original cause of death is not mentioned - this counts too in the sense of confirming what the cause was.
Note that it's only this trope if the character dies in both versions of the work. If the character dies in one but lives in the other, that's DeathByAdaptation. It is also only this trope if it's the ''same'' character. If Alice gets pushed off a bridge in the book, but Bob does in the movie, that's not this trope.

** In ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid'', Eric kills Ursula by [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice impaling her]] with the ship he is steering. In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', he throws the trident right through her instead.
** In ''Disney/TheLionKing'', Scar is eaten alive by his [[TheDogBitesBack fellow Hyenas]]. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', He becomes a heartless and continues his fight against Simba only to immediately die upon defeat.
** In ''Disney/AladdinTheReturnOfJafar'', Jafar's lamp is kicked into the lava by Iago, effectively destroying him. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he dies the instant his is beaten in his boss fight with his lamp simply vanishing the moment he does.
** In ''Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'', the gargoyle that Frollo is standing on break off, sending him falling to his death. In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsDreamDropDistance'', it plays out the same way in Sora's story, but in Riku's story, he is blown off the church by the boss of the world, Wargoyle.
* ''VisualNovel/ALittleLilyPrincess'' halves the difference between the original's BrainFever and other adaptation's more natural deaths by having Sara's father die due to a combination of the shock he received upon learning [[spoiler:that his family was destitute]] as well as a physical illness he was also going through at the time. His lawyer says explicitly that either alone could not have killed him but both together weakened him enough that he could not fight back.

* In the ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' book ''Martin the Warrior,'' Felldoh goes down in a blaze of glory, fighting tens of soldiers at once, Rose dies fighting Badrang when he throws her against a wall, and Badrang the Tyrant is stabbed by Martin to avenge all the evil he's done. In the animated adaptation, however, Felldoh is taken down by only a handful of soldiers, Badrang stabs Rose while holding her hostage, and Badrang falls down a pit onto Martin's sword.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Spawn}}'': While Billy Kincaid was killed by Al Simmons (AKA Spawn) himself in canon, but in the animated series, he decides to spare the him. However Billy still dies by Violator's hand via a gun [[YouHaveFailedMe when he ceased]] to be a valuable UnwittingPawn for him anymore.

This is quite common in family-oriented works - where characters who died off illnesses get sudden and more immediate deaths to make them more accessible for children. Back in the days of The Hays Code, some deaths had to be changed to meet the standards of the film's censors. In works prone to AdaptationExpansion - where the original cause of death is not mentioned - this counts too in the sense of confirming what the cause was.
Note that it's only this trope if the character dies in both versions of the work. If the character dies in one but lives in the other, that's DeathByAdaptation. It is also only this trope if it's the ''same'' character. If Alice gets pushed off a bridge in the book, but Bob does in the movie, that's not this trope.
Compare DeathByAdaptation, SparedByTheAdaptation, BloodierAndGorier, LighterAndSofter. As a death trope, expect unmarked spoilers.

* ''Manga/DragonBall'': A lot of the Red Ribbon Army's deaths are different in the movie ''Anime/DragonBallThePathToPower''
** In the original manga and anime, General Blue is given the chance to redeem himself by fighting and defeating Tao Pai Pai which is also meant for Tao to prove what he is capable of. Tao kills General Blue with his tongue. In Path To Power, [[AdaptedOut since Tao doesn't even appear]], General Blue is executed for his failure right away by low-level privates.
** Although Commander Red is still shot by Staff Officer Black, it plays out differently. In the manga and original Anime, he is shot in the head. In Path To Power, Black shoots him in the side causing him to [[DisneyVillainDeath fall off a ledge]].
** When Staff Officer Black fights Goku in the manga and original anime, Goku kills him by punching a hole in the machine he is piloting, causing it to explode. In Path To Power, Goku kills him using a Kamehameha in retaliation over Black [[DeathByAdaptation killing Android 8]].

* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': In the official canon, Guru dies of natural causes because of his old age. In this parody it at first looks like he'll be going out this way, so he tells his fellow Namekians how he tricked them into killing their albino brethren by telling them they were responsible for a drought when it was actually him. When he finds that he isn't dying, he is brutally slaughtered by the other Namekians.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' [[NeverSayDie can't outright say]] that Applejack's parents passed away about ten years before the start of the series, but has quite strongly ''implied'' it. In the AbridgedSeries ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'', Applejack's mother is still alive in the present day, but dies of unknown causes in Episode 23.

* ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' was forced by censorship to downplay the abuse that Maggio suffered in the stockade and suggest that the real reason he died was from falling off a milk truck after he escaped.
* ''Film/HarryPotter'':
** Sirius in ''The Order of the Phoenix'' gets hit with a stunner from Bellatrix and falls through a veil by accident. The film adaptation has him hit with the Killing Curse. Interestingly enough the scene was filmed as it was in the book, and the "Avada Kedavra" incantation was dubbed in later.
** Hedwig's death in ''The Deathly Hallows'' is the same method, but the circumstances change. In the book she is hit by a stray Killing Curse when Harry first escapes Privet Drive. In the film she pulls a HeroicSacrifice - taking a curse meant for Harry.
** Bellatrix is only said to have been hit with a spell by Molly Weasley in the book. In the film she actually explodes instead.
** Downplayed with Voldemort, who leaves a body after his curse rebounds on him in the book. In the film he disintegrates.

* In the ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' continuity, [[spoiler:Admiral Ackbar]] dies of old age, 25 years after the Battle of Endor. In the new canon, specifically in ''Film/TheLastJedi'', [[spoiler:Ackbar]] instead dies 32 years after Endor, when a First Order torpedo destroys the bridge of the ''Raddus''.
*In ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows'', Shredder is frozen by Krang, a fate that implies death. In ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze'', Shredder is KilledOffForReal when the support beams of the docks fall on him and crush him. Both are changes from [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the original comic]], where Leonardo stabs Shredder with his (Leonardo's) katana.
* ''Film/VForVendetta''
** In the [[ComicBook/VForVendetta original comic-book miniseries]], Adam Susan is assassinated by Rose Almond, who blames his government for all the misery that she's suffered since her husband's death. In the film, Adam ''Sutler'' is killed by Creedy in a bid to take over Norsefire.
** In the original comic, Gordon Dietrich is killed by Ally Harper over some unspecified deal. In the movie, Gordon is killed by Creedy's goons for mocking Sutler.
* Minor example in ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. Dorothy intentionally throws the water on the Wicked Witch in the book. In the film she's trying to put out a fire and the water accidentally splashes on the witch.
** The [[Film/TheMuppetsWizardOfOz Muppets adaptation]] has Dorothy kick the Witch into a tub she had prepared to bathe in which consists entirely of bottle water (the only kind of water she can withstand in this version)... Or so she thought until one of the flying monkeys reveals that he finished filling the tub using a hose upon running out of bottle water.
