A specific subtrope of the Doomed Appointment, Disconnected by Death is signaling the death of a character by the abrupt end of a phone call they are making. The basic structure of this trope is that one character has information that they must get to another character (usually The Hero, or at least, one of the Good Guys). They make a phone call. They are killed after the phone is answered on the other end, but before they can pass along the information. There may be a Big "NO!" or scream for audible over the phone if the victim sees the killer. Within this structure, the trope has visual and aural variants: the visual versions can use an old-style free-standing phone booth, a land-line telephone not in a phone booth, or a cell phone. The aural version has dial-tone, where the killer hangs up the phone, causing the hero to hear a dial tone, and open-line, where the killer doesn't hang up, and the Hero spends some time yelling "Hello! Hello?" before concluding "Something's happened." Rarely, the killer will get on the phone and give a Bond One-Liner about the murder or to mock the listener. For extra points, the victim has said part but not all of his message (or even gasps a few words out as he dies), allowing the heroes to get a clue that will save the day later, but only after they rack their brains to get what the victim was trying to say. Even more bonus points if the informant turns and says "it's you!" before being offed. Compare Impeded Messenger and Death by Transceiver. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Gonzo fakes this to get rid of Lucy. He puts her into a room in a different hotel and phones her from the room he is sharing with Duke. While calmly telling her how he stomped Duke (supposedly his rival for Lucy's affections) he starts screaming and shouting as if the room had been invaded, moans "Don't put that thing on me," and then hangs up. | |

Happens in Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, within the British Liberation of Caen campaign - at the end of Operation Windsor, 3rd Battalion receives a radio transmission from Royal Scots Engineers on Hill 112. As per the trope, the Engineer calling stops talking, and the scene cuts to a man framed in shadow slumped over with a radio in front of him while 3rd Battalion as for him to respond. | |

In The Empire Strikes Back, during Darth Vader's teleconference with the captains of the Star Destroyers, one man's hologram image flickers and fades from view after his spacecraft is struck by an asteroid. The anthology book From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back reveals that the ship was lost with all hands. This happened to a hapless Rebel soldier in Echo Base during the Battle of Hoth. He only manages to get out "Imperial troops have entered the base. Imperial troops have entered [static]" before he's killed. In the Legends continuity, he's none other than the son of Mon Mothma. | |

The Matrix: A variation: Trinity spends the first minutes of the movie trying to reach a phone booth, and when she finally reaches it and pick up the phone, a truck demolishes the phone booth. Fortunately, since the landline was her exit, Trinity is not injured. This also happens right before Neo and Smith's subway fight, as Smith tries to shoot her before she can leave the Matrix. Once again, she manages to escape in time. |

A variant (pictured above) happens in the first arc of the Higurashi: When They Cry anime to Keiichi Maebara, who claws out his own throat in a phone booth while under the effects of Oyashiro-sama's curse, trying to contact the police about the Town with a Dark Secret. Thanks to his paranoia, his last words to the police — and the audience — indicate that someone is coming to kill him, but all the evidence suggests suicide... leaving the existence of the killer in doubt until better answers about Oyashiro-sama come along in later chapters. The chapter's TIPS indicate that he was technically still alive when he was found, but later died in the hospital. Happens twice in ep 4 of the Umineko: When They Cry anime, both times with Battler. The first time it's Jessica who was killed during her fight with Ronove but resurrected for a short while and died again talking to Battler over the phone. The second time was with Kyrie who called Battler after escaping from the goats but was shot to death shortly thereafter. From an anti-fantasy perspective, both cases were probably arranged by Yasu/Beatrice in an attempt to make Battler mad and force him towards the truth. |

Chillingly, Pala meets her fate right after she and Kara discuss Jor-El's warnings about a coming cataclysm on Krypton (with Pala revealing that some of the council members are taking Jor-El more seriously than "The Last Son of Krypton" implied) and they decide that It's Probably Nothing. | |

At first, he thought it was just a technical fault, and his immediate reaction was that he'd have a good laugh over it with his dad, who was a high-ranking executive in a hypercomm provider. Tycho's family were from Alderaan, which was obliterated by the Empire. | |

Subverted in Tremors, albeit over a radio set instead of a phone. Burt Grummer, after being told that the graboids are coming straight for his house, is last heard saying, "Jesus Chr—!" before the line goes dead as a graboid bursts through his wall. As it turned out, that graboid did indeed break into the wrong goddamned rec room. | |

Done twice in Clue, both times with a Gory Discretion Shot. First, the motorist is killed mid-sentence by someone with a wrench, who helpfully puts the phone back onto the cradle. Later, the cop is killed: This time, someone with a lead pipe first disconnects the call by placing the lead pipe onto the cradle behind the cop's back, then deals the death blow as the cop is asking "Hello? Are you there?" | |

Telefon: A Renegade Russian called Nikolai Dalchimsky steals a list of Manchurian Agent saboteurs in the United States and tries to start World War III. Charles Bronson plays Grigori Bortsov, the KGB agent sent to stop him. He finally corners Dalchimsky in a Texan bar, but can't kill him because there are two policemen there. Dalchimsky ducks into a phone booth, intending to activate the agents via phone. Bortsov has his colleague create a distraction by knocking over a glass case containing a rattlesnake, and amidst all the chaos bursts into the booth just as Dalchimsky is making the connection and throttles him to death with the receiver. | |

Played over the opening credits of Fury (2014). While the opening text explains that American M4 Sherman tanks are at a disadvantage against their German opponents, the viewer is treated to scratchy radio traffic from a platoon of Shermans that have been ambushed. The voices become increasingly panicked, until the last one cries, "It’s all over!" and is abruptly cut off. The battalion radio man asks for a response, but nobody answers. | |

In Fate: Zero Sanity Sayaka's last conversation with Edgar took place over the phone, desperately telling him what had happened to her and asking whether or not Kiritsugu got his birthday present. When he tells her he did, she gratefully thanks him before being disconnected. This having been because her Soul Gem was almost fully corrupted, she didn't die... though that might have been preferable to the end result. | |

At the start of Gunslinger Girl this has happened right before the audience is introduced to Triela, who is shown stalking through the corpses of the men she's just killed in a Padania safehouse, while a voice on a phone handset dangling from its cord demands to know what's happening. We then cut to the other end of the line, to the terrorist leader and his cell who are about to experience a similar demise at the hands of another fratello. | |

Bolsa strongly (and correctly) suspects Gus orchestrated all this somehow, and after brushing off the police activity, tells Gus that after all this blows over, he'll be coming up from Mexico to pay him a little visit. Right after saying this, the officers bust into his home and gun down Bolsa and his men. Gus hears Bolsa being cut down in a hail of bullets on his cellphone with a satisfied expression. | |
