This trope is most often done for RuleOfDrama. After all, ChildrenAreInnocent, and thus their deaths are often something people can hardly accept - "they're too young to die", "they still have a lot of things they could do/achieve", etc. Hence why the trope is more common in serious dramas and stories farther on the cynical side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism. For instance, this trope is distressingly common in most CrapsackWorld settings to illustrate just how horrible the world in question is. It's also frequent in war stories, especially if [[ChildSoldiers the children are themselves combatants]]. Other times it's used for shock factor, especially in horror; the monster is shown to be especially dangerous since it underlines that [[AnyoneCanDie no one is safe]]. More rarely, it's used for BlackComedy,[[note]]In fact, that particular trope used to be known as "Dead Baby Comedy"[[/note]] since this is serious CrossesTheLineTwice material — it's rarely if ever part of a HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood.

The last thing before the epilogue is her brother, who she had spent the scene fighting with, is her older brother cradling her.
