On the big or small screen, if someone falls over motionless with their eyes wide open, it is a sure sign that they are dead — not unconscious, not capable of being resuscitated, but dead for good. In real life the position of the eyelids means little; people can pass out or fall asleep with their eyes open (although it is less common). Additionally, dead bodies always have their eyes either closed or all the way open, with no middle ground. (Again, this stands in contrast to reality, but nobody wants a dead body making a weird face and it's hard for an actor to have half-closed eyes without flickering.) In the latter case, someone who knew the deceased will often come along and manually close the corpse's eyes for "respect" or "dignity". This is always done the same way — using the palm flat open, they pass their hand over the dead person's face, somehow closing their eyes. In old times, the friend would also put two coins over their closed eyes as well, to "pay the boatman" to take them across the river Styx into the afterlife. See Due to the Dead. The above is universally true of live-action, but Anime occasionally depicts someone fainting with open eyes or dying with half-closed eyes. Open-eyed deaths in anime often have the iris/pupil area of the eye drawn as a dull grayish spot. In Western Animation, death is rare, visible dead bodies even rarer, and open-eyed corpses almost unheard of. You can blame the Animation Age Ghetto for that. If they're Not Quite Dead, expect to see their eyes open. Otherwise? He's Dead, Jim. Note that — perhaps because of Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Death — frequently it rains into the eyes. That is the clinching proof of death. If a character's eyes close when they die, it's Big Sleep. If they're just asleep, see Sleeps with Both Eyes Open. As a Death Trope, several spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

In the second episode of Queen of the South a woman Teresa talks to suddenly dies after she finishes talking. It turns out she was holding drugs in her stomach but they dissolved before she could vomit them out. After she dies they show others cutting her open and removing the drugs, which freaks Teresa out so much she tries to run away. | |

The main villain of Sherlock, Jim Moriarty, not only shot himself through the mouth in front of Sherlock Holmes, but did it as part of a game of Gambit Roulette. His body is shown to be smiling as well as wide-eyed. Averted with Sherlock himself; his eyes are open after he jumps off of the roof of St. Barts, but of course, he was faking it. Possibly averted with Moriarty, who might have been faking it as well. |

Astrid: A plot point in "Invisible". When people die with their eyes open, the corneas rapidly cloud over due to oxidation, but this doesn't happen with the eyelids shut. The Body of the Week's eyes are cloudy but closed, which leads Astrid to suspect that the killer closed them after a lengthy interval, and provides her a clue to the Serial Killer's M.O. | |

In Tales of Monkey Island Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood, Morgan LeFlay falls in a slump after whispering to Guybrush about LeChuck and dies with her eyes half open; Guybrush becomes grieved at her loss, then pulls the sword from her not-bleeding body and has her hands enclose its hilt, tilts her head in a proper death pose and closes her eyes before getting up and walking away. Averted at the end of the same chapter, when the mortally wounded Guybrush's eyes open wide in a blank stare at a saddened Elaine, but then gently close as he collapses and "falls asleep" with his mouth open. |

Back to the Future: Subverted. When Marty seemingly fails to prevent Doc's death again, he turns him over to see that his eyes are wide open. However, it turns out that he's completely all right; it's implied that his eyes were wide open out of shock — or that he was pretending to be dead as to not cause a paradox. | |

Star Trek: Picard: In "Remembrance", Dahj cries over the corpse of her boyfriend, whose eyes are "staring" at nothing, which is how she knows that he's dead. In "Absolute Candor", Tenqem still appears be glaring at Picard when his head falls off. In "Stardust City Rag", Bruce Maddox dies while looking at the camera. In "Nepenthe", Elnor (and the audience) can see the precise moment when Hugh passes away by the latter's lifeless eyes, which remain open. In "Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1", Altan Soong laments while he cradles Saga's body, whose murder by Eye Scream is evident because while her right optical processor is visibly intact, her left one has been irreversibly damaged by her own hummingbird brooch. |

Carta Issue of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans died in an Extreme Mêlée Revenge brought by Mikazuki Augus; the former was brutally wounded and mistook Gaelio Bauduin, who had just rescued her, for McGillis Fareed. She didn't even get to die peacefully; she just hopelessly asked Gaelio if she was a disgrace, and then her eyes faded out. | |

Naruto: After Kakashi kills Haku by striking him with the Lightning Blade meant for Zabuza, he dies with his eyes wide open, and Kakashi closes them for him after getting to safety for a moment. Most other characters, however, close their eyes as they die. Except Itachi, whose eyes remain open. It also rains, but there's no indication of rain-in-the-eyes. Neji died this way, as well. Kin Tsuchi and Zaku Ambui's eyes when their corpses are discovered are wide open, with their faces showing absolute horror in their final moments. |

Darkwing Duck has shown plenty of corpses that avoid this, either by being covered by plants, or by being digested by a python, or by being compressed in a can, or by being mere skeletons or by having the eyes and beaks of their severed heads sewn shut. Who said that avoiding it was better? There was one cold case however where two SHUSH agents were found in a freezer with their eyes open and sticks under their feet that made them look giant popsicles instead of dead bodies. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Michael Trinity suffers a Surprisingly Sudden Death when Ali Al-Saachez, apparently striking up a friendly conversation with the Trinity siblings, abruptly shoots Michael in the chest without warning. Johann and Nena, Michael's siblings, don't realize he's dead until he wobbles and falls over, his red eyes wide and in shock. In the penultimate episode, Ali himself winds up this way. After his Arche Gundam is destroyed, he gets cornered by Lyle "Lockon Stratos" Dylandy and held at gunpoint. At first, Lyle chooses not to kill Ali and lowers his gun, only for Ali to grab his own gun and turn it on Lyle. But Lyle never fully lowered his weapon, and ultimately shoots first, beaning Ali directly in the brain. The last we see of Ali's face before Lyle double-taps him is his eyes going wide in shock as the bullet penetrates his skull. |

Gimme a Break!: A Season 1 episode, "Your Prisoner Is Dead" sees Chief Kanisky shock his youngest daughter, Samantha, into reality after she wonders aloud if the shooting he was involved with was just like what she had seen on CHiPs. Chief tells her that this was not like the movies or TV at all; instead of Bloodless Carnage and the guy closing his eyes upon onset of death, the armed robbery suspect he shot collapsed, began crying for help (and his mother), and had his eyes wide open the whole time as he was bleeding heavily. Part of this was seen before the scene switched from the crime scene to the Kanisky house. | |

Arthas' eyes roll up in his last moments as he notes that "[Arthas] can see only darkness before me..." Terenas respectfully shuts his son's eyes, showing that despite everything he still loved and forgave him. | |

As he claims that he died for his people to Senator Chuchi, he goes limp and dies with eyes open, leaving Chuchi to close them. In "ARC Troopers", 99's eyes roll back after he is shot by battle droids when he tried to get more grenades. In "Altar of Mortis", Ahsoka's eyes roll back after she is temporarily killed by the Son of Mortis. |

Tolkien's Legendarium: In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Boromir's death is signaled by all the color draining from his face—his eyes remain open as he passes. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Saruman had both his eyes open when he falls from his tower and gets impaled on a wheel prior to his weight turning it until his corpse is completely submerged. In The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Fili and Thorin both die this way. The latter's final closeup as he dies is almost identical to Boromir's. |

The Order of the Stick has its own version of this trope, where a dead body's eyes are always displayed as X's, neither open nor shut. This is lampshaded in this strip, where Durkon is looking at Roy's corpse through a spy-glass and Haley asks him whether "he has the X's in his eyes" that prove his death. Also when Haley and Belkar are sneaking out of occupied Azure City; Celia uses an illusion to appear as a demon, while the two mortals draw X's over their eyelids and lie very still on the cart so they appear to be corpses. |

Higurashi: When They Cry: There are many examples in the anime, ranging from plain horrific to extremely sad, including: Rika's knife-suicide, Satoko's crucifixion, everyone after being gassed in Yakusamashi-hen, Rika's disembowelment (which happened every time she didn't commit suicide by knife), Shion's fall (in Watanagashi-hen, they give a lovely close-up of her wide eyes as a sheet is being put over the body) and Keiichi after being shot; he remained alive for a few minutes, but when he finally dies the highlights in his eyes fade, leaving dull irises. | |

Famicom Detective Club: Anytime someone is murdered, they almost always have a chance of having open eyes, but that depends on the circumstances. When the remakes of the second title show Genjiro's corpse, we never see his face closely, but we are definitely shown that his eyes were open in artwork featured in the manual of the original Famicom release of said title during its second half. As for most of the other murder victims, the enhanced graphics in the Nintendo Switch remakes make the trope more apparent when the victims die. | |

Spirit Hunter: NG: In one of the first Bad Ends, Kaoru is murdered by the Urashima Woman, their eyes glassy as they stare up at the ceiling with bloodied turtles crawling out of their mouth. Seiji is decapitated by Kubitarou in a Bad End while they're still alive. When Akira finds the head, its eyes are wide open in fear and are staring right at him. One of Rosé's deaths has them with open eyes as they're grotesquely distorted by razor wire. The result is a dead gaze that makes their mutilated corpse all the more chilling to look at. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phil Coulson in The Avengers (2012) dies subtly and quietly, so much so that Nick Fury doesn't even realize his reassurances are going unheard until a few seconds later. The Ancient One's eyes are still open when she dies in Doctor Strange (2016). Avengers: Endgame: In the prologue, Nebula closes the eyes of the disembodied head of her father, Thanos, after Thor decapitates him. Natasha, after she throws herself down the cliff on Vormir, so that Clint can get the Soul Stone. Past Nebula, when Present Nebula shoots her to protect Past Gamora. At the end, Tony is shown to still have his eyes open when he passes away. In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Aunt May passes away with her eyes still open after she was mortally wounded by the Green Goblin. In Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, after she is sliced in half with her shield, Captain Carter's lifeless body collapses to the ground, eyes still open. |

At the end of the first 2/3rds of Far Cry 3, Jason stabs Vaas several times in the heart, his face frozen in shock. Both he and Jason fall to the ground, still staring blankly at his killer, and then he looks at Jason. What really happened is blurry as Jason was (most likely) in a bizarre hallucination but Jason is assured that Vaas did die. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam franchise: Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Michael Trinity suffers a Surprisingly Sudden Death when Ali Al-Saachez, apparently striking up a friendly conversation with the Trinity siblings, abruptly shoots Michael in the chest without warning. Johann and Nena, Michael's siblings, don't realize he's dead until he wobbles and falls over, his red eyes wide and in shock. In the penultimate episode, Ali himself winds up this way. After his Arche Gundam is destroyed, he gets cornered by Lyle "Lockon Stratos" Dylandy and held at gunpoint. At first, Lyle chooses not to kill Ali and lowers his gun, only for Ali to grab his own gun and turn it on Lyle. But Lyle never fully lowered his weapon, and ultimately shoots first, beaning Ali directly in the brain. The last we see of Ali's face before Lyle double-taps him is his eyes going wide in shock as the bullet penetrates his skull. Carta Issue of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans died in an Extreme Mêlée Revenge brought by Mikazuki Augus; the former was brutally wounded and mistook Gaelio Bauduin, who had just rescued her, for McGillis Fareed. She didn't even get to die peacefully; she just hopelessly asked Gaelio if she was a disgrace, and then her eyes faded out. |

In the NCIS episode Twilight, Kate is sniped through the head. Her eyes are wide open in the next shot, but then it cuts to the end of the season. In the shots of her body in the next two episodes, she is either talking to Ducky via hallucination or has her eyes shut - Ducky kept her covered in front of her former colleagues, and her eyes being shut is presumably a sign of respect. | |

Several characters when they die in 7 Seeds. The guide of Team Winter's corpse has his eyes wide open in surprise and shock when a saber-tooth tiger attacked him and another member. Happened to the Director, Chuu-san and the cow Mary during the Ryugu Shelter arc. At least, they had to be since their eyes have turned into bloody, mushy gushy stuff and leaked out of the eye sockets, the way the Acari X kill their hosts. The other victims are usually shown with eyes closed and Tears of Blood. Subverted with some deaths, like Mayu's and Hyo's during the Final Test for the Team Summer A candidates, as their deaths are more shown to be calming. |

Game of Thrones: Played with: the funerary traditions of the Faith of the Seven require closing the dead man's eyes and putting discs looking like open eyes over them, giving this impression. Talisa's eyes continue to express pure shock and terror even after death. Joffrey's bloodshot eyes are the focus of the final shot of an episode. Styr after Jon drops the hammer on him. For a moment, it even looks like he's quizzically judging Jon. Jojen Reed's dead eyes show hints of turning the occult blue of a wight's before the fireball engulfs the body. Shae after being strangled. Jon Snow's eyes are wide open, staring lifelessly at the sky, after he dies. Justified with Rickon, as he was shot by an arrow In the Back by surprise. The "golden crown" forced on Viserys is too painful for him to close his eyes. Jorah Mormont dies like this near the end of The Long Night after being lethally stabbed by several wights protecting Daenerys. |

At the end of the 1926 silent film of La Bohème, Lillian Gish's Mimi dies with her eyes open and Musette closes them. Allegedly Gish did such a good job of not moving her eyes or breathing while filming those last moments that the cast and crew worried that she had really died - particularly since she had starved herself for days beforehand to look suitably wasted. | |

This was originally the case in Dragon Ball. But in later works by Akira Toriyama, especially Dragon Ball Z, people who die with their eyes open will have Blank White Eyes; this began with Radditz, when he was killed by Piccolo. Grayish or rough pupils from then on mean that person is critically injured, or dying but not yet dead. Examples include Gohan after his neck was broken by Recoome, and Yamcha after he was impaled by Dr. Gero. | |

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Body" had Buffy find Joyce Summers lying on a couch after her sudden death with wide-open eyes. The episode makes a point of NOT having anyone close Joyce's eyes for her; they remain open throughout the episode. The episode also opens each act with a shot of Joyce's corpse in which her eyes are staring right at the viewer. Subverted with Wood in "Chosen"; when Faith goes to close his eyes he turns out to be Not Quite Dead. |

In The Ant Bully, there is a scene in which Lucas finds himself in the belly of a frog. In that scene, a fly comes across a smiling bug who died with its eyes open. | |

Family Guy: In "Lois Kills Stewie" when Stewie is killed by Peter in his simulator, his eyes are wide open and Peter wipes his hand over to close them, while sad music plays that may or may not be part of the simulation. In "Save the Clam," Horace dies with his eyes closed. Until Dr. Hartman, in keeping with his medical incompetence, wipes his hand over to open them. This happens to Mr. Weed. In the final segment of "Family Guy Viewer Mail #2", Brian runs over a squirrel with his car while Stewie is clinging onto the underside. When the squirrel's carcass ends up on the tire, its eyes are still open, prompting Stewie to close them and tell the squirrel that Brian can't hurt him anymore. |

The little Afro-American girl who is killed by racketeers in The Phenix City Story and tossed into the front yard of Albert Patterson's house has her eyes open for even more shock value. (Nothing remotely like this happened in real life.) | |

Breaking Bad: Jane starts choking while she's asleep. When she finally dies, her eyelids slide partially open. She's shown hours later with her eyes still open. In "Felina", this happens to Walt as he dies from blood loss after being shot in the side by the M60 he rigs in the trunk of his car which uses to kill Jack and his Neo-Nazi gang. |

In one story from the Mellon Chronicles series of The Lord of the Rings fanfiction, a wounded Legolas rests with his eyes closed for a time, and when Aragorn notices, he freaks out for a moment, believing the elf to be dead — as far as he understands it, elves rest with eyes open. The idea of elves not sleeping in the same way as humans comes from the one example given through Legolas in the LotR. It is debated whether this can be taken as the general style of sleeping for elves, another form of resting distinct from sleep, or due to the circumstances. | |

Law & Order: UK when Matt Devlin was shot. The final frame of the episode was of his eyes, wide open. What makes this especially wrenching is that he was clearly still alive at this point, giving viewers hope that he might survive. Sadly, it was not to be. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Klingons' sense of honour means that their allies will hold their eyes open and look into them as they die. Happens in a couple of episodes. They also perform a death roar as a warning to those in Sto-vo-kor that a Klingon Warrior is arriving. Highlighted by Tasha Yar in her funeral service, speaking to Worf. "I hope I met death with my eyes wide open." Data, in the episode "Contagion." Geordi closes his eyes for him (which looks kinda weird since Burton can't actually touch him without screwing up Spiner's makeup and the hover is obvious). Whenever he shuts off, his eyes are usually open. |
