Dead Hat Shot
Finally found it via Death Tropes listing. Some reason doesn't show up in search and doesn't seem to be linked both ways (links to Empathy Doll Shot, Dead Hand Shot, and Hat Damage, but is nowhere on any of those pages).

I could have sworn there was a subtrope for "Never Found the Body"/"Bolivian Army Ending" where something is left behind to imply the death. I recall the trope page having a picture of a hat floating on water, which makes me believe that it was titled something along the lines of "Only His Hat Remained" or maybe just "Floating Hat." Even so, the various searches I have run did not turn it up.
