So you're watching a Buddy Cop Show. The Naïve Newcomer on the force has made his way to the precinct, ready to fight crime and turn this city on its head. According to the chief, he's about to be paired off with the grizzled old, potentially loose cannon of a cop. You see, the Grizzled Cop doesn't currently have a partner, and will protest having to take on the rookie because, as he will vehemently and adamantly bark at the chief, "I WORK ALONE!" Cut back to Grizzled Cop's desk, and pan to a picture of him and another boy in blue, perhaps as Naive Newcomers themselves. Then pan over to the desk paired off with his, completely empty. This is the camera telling the viewer that, in fact, the cop used to have a partner, and now he's dead. Another way is to have the Naïve Newcomer rookie accidentally sit down in the now vacant chair of the dead partner, and have the Grizzled Cop blow out on him about it. Usually used as a form of Death by Origin Story, and frequently as a result of Grizzled Cop's loose-cannon ways. Compare Dead Sidekick. A sub-trope of Standard Cop Backstory. As this is a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

In one episode of Castle, this trope was played with like mad for Esposito's backstory. His then-partner Ike Thornton was killed by a mob boss they were investigating. Except Thornton faked his death because there was a Dirty Cop informing on them, and kept investigating as a private citizen. | |

The Simpsons: A Running Gag in the show are snippets from the fictional McBain movie, essentially an Arnold Schwarzenegger parody. Grizzled Cowboy Cop McBain loses his old partner in a hit arranged by his arch-enemy, the drug kingpin Senator Mendoza. For bonus points, the partner in question is A] black, B] due to retire in a few days, and C] shows McBain a picture of his family right before he dies. | |

In OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies , the plot is set in motion by the death of OSS 117's partner, and subsequently each mention of Jack causes OSS 117 to look wistful while Ho Yay-laden flashbacks appear on screen. Of course, He's not really dead. Since the whole film is a parody, this is Played for Laughs. | |

Parodied in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, where officers in the NYPD regularly roleplay as having dead partners for motivation when using undercover identities. Captain Holt initially refuses to do such a thing, seeing it as cliche and unprofessional. When he eventually gives in and claims that a non-existent partner of his was murdered by a Serial Killer to help Peralta out on a case, its one his first big points of Character Development. | |

Frank Reagan of Blue Bloods has a Dead Canine Partner, a police dog named Greta he'd handled as a young K9-unit officer. She was killed by a criminal Frank sent her after: an old regret that helped motivate him, decades later as Commissioner, to invest extra effort into exonerating another police dog that was falsely accused of biting a child. | |

Lampshaded in Altered Carbon. Poe, the avatar of an Artificial Intelligence, has been researching Film Noir and suggests that Takeshi Kovacs make him his partner, as they inevitably get killed whereas an AI would be difficult to kill. Kovacs has a "No. Just… No" Reaction. Sure enough in the Season Finale Poe is 'killed' by The Dragon using a weapon designed to destroy AI's (though he's brought back for Season 2). | |

Arcee of Transformers: Prime has, as of now, lost two of her partners to Decepticons, both rather horrifically. This has left her with little patience, but great protectiveness, for her newest partner: the human Jack. It took a near death experience for her to accept him as such. Unfortunately for Arcee, her anger at the Decepticons who killed her partners (particularly Airachnid) can make her prone to acting rashly. And the 'cons aren't above using this against her. | |

Heavily implied to be the case with James Carter from Rush Hour. He's the type of cop that says "he works alone" and constantly says that he doesn't need a partner. He doesn't want to supervise Lee, most likely because he doesn't want to witness another partner die. But James always sticks with him when he needs help. On the contrary, he says that his dad had problems with his partner, so he may be dancing around the truth. Also the case with Inspector Lee's previous partner, who was murdered by the Big Bad of the second movie. |

Jim Ellison in The Sentinel; slightly different because his new 'partner' isn't a police officer at all, but an anthropology graduate student. | |

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth: Jacques Portsman likes this trope so much that he invoked it personally. Poor Buddy Faith. Detective Badd suffers this. Showing him evidence relating to his partner's murder is one of the few things that makes him actually sentimental. |

Law & Order: UK: DS Ronnie Brooks' backstory includes the fact that one of his partners was killed. What makes this worse is that it's his current partner DS Matt Devlin who accidentally reminds him of this—a year before Matt himself was killed in a drive-by shooting. However, Ronnie seems to subvert this trope, as neither of these tragedies have prevented him from forming good relationships with his subsequent colleagues—he got close enough to Matt to view him as a surrogate son. It was Matt's replacement Sam who seemed to be reluctant to develop a friendship. But when yet another friend of his (never his partner, but they knew each long enough that this trope applies) was killed off, this time, it did appear to have an adverse effect on his ability to bond with Sam's replacement. | |
