He's Dead, Jim	comment	Characters (and meta-wise, the audience) are able to tell the instant another character has died even though such a determination can actually be quite difficult and mistakes are made even by experienced physicians (e.g. people Waking Up at the Morgue). How accurately depends on a few factors: Whether the character is a trained physician Whether the character is supernatural Whether the character doing the checking is even human Whether the character being checked is even human Rarely is anyone ever just unconscious or in a coma, unless they're recurring and merely Left for Dead by the bad guy, supernatural, about to be Waking Up at the Morgue, or in some cases, someone deliberately faked someone else's death by lying to the others. This, of course, is a reference to Leonard "Bones" McCoy's frequent (and frequently parodied) line in Star Trek, although it could debatably be justified by various types of Applied Phlebotinum. Characteristic methods used to determine a character's death involve checking the pulse at one of a few places on the body, listening for a heartbeat. Other methods involve: nonresponsiveness on the part of the deceased; no reaction even to things that would prompt an instant, disgusted flinch from someone who was still alive and conscious, such as insects crawling on them or animals taking bites. other characters attempting to rouse the "sleeping" character, with no effect an arm dropping/hand falling open (for added pathos, letting go of something significant the character was holding) eyes unblinking (either Dies Wide Open or Big Sleep), no reflexive response to a direct touch on the eye Eye Lights Out, if they had Glowing Eyes of Doom Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Death means we may see rain falling into the victim's open eyes Related: Medical Drama shows will use pupillary reaction to lightnote Pupils are supposed to constrict when exposed to brighter light as a gauge of brain function. "Pupils fixed and dilated", especially if said patient is being resuscitated, often means they're dead. a struggling character's limbs slowing down and eventually stopping, especially if the person had been fighting to survive/escape whatever was killing them no visible breathing or heartbeat (at least in non-supernatural situations) obviously fatal injury and copious amounts of blood, such as decapitation or the neck turned all the way around Blood from the Mouth is another common sign the dying person complaining of the cold just before going quiet The skin of the victim going cold. The victim's skin, especially the face, turning pale. lividity (the skin takes on a reddish-purple coloration as the blood settles in the lowest place on the body). comically, their souls visibly depart their bodies, or their eyes turn to x's. A common variation on this trope is when the character's death is shown metaphorically, mainly for the benefit of the audience: a light begins to blink and fizzle. If it stays on when all is said and done, the character will survive. If it goes out, he's a goner. if the character's vehicle was in a crash, a single wheel may remain in motion. If that wheel stops spinning, the character has died. the EKG in the hospital flatlines, leaving the dull tone. a flower loses a petal and the camera tracks its fall to the tabletop. something important to the character falls to the ground, possibly breaking. They may drop it themselves. The sun goes behind a cloud. Or the scene dissolves to clouds, invoking Fluffy Cloud Heaven. Compare Mistaken Death Confirmation, where a character's death is apparently confirmed by examination of the body or evidence such as an obviously fatal injury, but the character somehow either isn't dead or comes back to life. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

He's Dead, Jim / int_207896c6	comment	Two rather humorously dark examples in National Lampoon's Vacation. When Clark is pulled over by a highwayman. Clark at first has no clue why the officer is being hostile until he's shown the empty dog leash on the bumper of the car. Realizing he had forgotten he tied up Aunt Edna's dog to it when they had stopped at a park, got distracted as they were leaving and well—you get the idea. Clark tries to downplay it to his family until the officer hands him the dog leash and comments that he'll pick up the carcass down the road. Later as the family are set for a lunch break, Ellen tries to get the kids to wake up Edna. When they can't seem to rouse her, Clark just passes it off as her being old and letting her rest. Least till Ellen checks Edna herself and announces that she's dead.

'Course Scuttle is a Know-Nothing Know-It-All and Ariel finds Eric to be breathing. In Beauty and the Beast when the Beast dies, it cuts to a shot of the final petal falling off Beast's enchanted rose. Naturally it's a Disney Death and he lives due to the curse finally breaking. In The Princess and the Frog, Ray the firefly's light goes out when he dies. As with Mufasa, he is dead for real, averting Disney Death. In Tangled, Eugene slumps in Rapunzel's arms.

He's Dead, Jim / int_2bb4ae0f	comment	Heroes applies this trope most generously: The overwhelming majority of Sylar victims suffer the obvious grievous injury either via Sylar's Signature Style, or some other violent means. Claire has personally exhibited the grievous injury indicator, the glassy eyes indicator, and the no pulse/heartbeat indicator, sufficiently that she woke up on the autopsy table once, thanks to her power. Peter has personally exhibited the glassy eyed stare, and thanks to his power, he got better. Maya's victims suffered obvious grievous bodily injury. Mr. Linderman suffered obvious grievous bodily injury. Hiro's father suffered grievous bodily injury. D.L. suffered grievous bodily injury. So did his wife, Niki. HRG had the glassy stare after Mohinder shot him. Thanks to a transfusion of Claire's blood, he gets better. Tracy caused a case of glassy stare and unmistakably grievous bodily injury. That one didn't take either. Adam suffered the case of turning into dust. Arthur Petrelli is shot in the head, but no one thinks to make sure he's dead, even though he absorbed all of Peter's powers, including the Healing Factor.

He's Dead, Jim / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld tends to use the "really obvious injury" method of determining death. One example: Parodied in Pyramids where the doctor insists that all medical tests prove Teppic "mortis portulis tackulatum" (dead as a doornail), and obstinately explains confusing signs, such as the patient sitting up and walking away, as "reflex actions". In Hogfather, assassin Mr Teatime (that's Te-AH-tim-EH) insists that he checked the client for life signs thoroughly, checking his breathing with a mirror... and is told that might have been unnecessary given the unnatural distance at the time between said corpse's mouth and its lungs. And then referenced in Wintersmith, for exactly — well, almost exactly — the same situation. Whether or not this was the incident that the governing council of the Guild of Assassins is mentioned as having voted to expel him for a few paragraphs early is unclear, but this conversation tells the reader almost everything they need to know about Mr Teatime.

He's Dead, Jim / int_49ad83ee	comment	Sometimes averted in World of Warcraft because of glitches. Normally, when you or your target die, the health bar changes from (say) "42/1337 Health" to "Dead". But sometimes a packet drops and you'll see a dead monster as alive, or yourself as dead after being resurrected. In the former case, you can't loot the corpse; in the latter case, you can't attack or cast spells.

He's Dead, Jim / int_49ff762	comment	The Torchwood series uses and subverts this trope fairly liberally. Miracle Day has some of the most disturbing and egregious variations on this trope, as: Anybody designated Category 1 would have died before "the miracle" that has prevented people from dying when they ordinarily would have, so we have lots of people with grievous bodily injuries who aren't dead Captain Jack Harkness, who was, until "the miracle", temporally locked, has a flashback to his time in the 1920s during which he is repeatedly shot, stabbed, and beaten to death just to see him revive again.

They even played this up, having a signal monitoring Kotetsu's vitals disappear. Turns out, Kotetsu's vitals were fine, but the suit transmitting the signal was destroyed.

A number of fellow motorists run down to aid him, but he's clearly dying. As he gasps his last breaths, he tells them the location of a large sum of stolen money he's buried, then fades out...and sits up deliriously shouting at Sid Caesar 'Tell me it don't make no difference, Aunt Belle!'.

This includes the Quick Draw between Sheppard and Kolya. No one bothers to make sure Kolya is really dead. They assume Sheppard is that good a shot. This makes a little sense in the "Proving Ground" episode of Stargate SG-1, when one of the rookies shoots a guard at the SGC, as the four are scared, thinking that the base has been overrun. Had they checked his vitals, they would've figured out that he's only pretending, given away that the whole thing is a test (all bullets have been replaced with blanks). Neither SG-1 nor Sheppard's team normally travel with a medical expert. While each member has, presumably, received first aid training, this may not qualify them to declare someone dead unless it's obvious from injuries.

Other than the debates if Starscream turns grey or not before crumbling to ash, no one else that dies in the movie changes color. So only important or extremely popular Transformers go monochrome apparently. Transformers: Animated shows dead Transformers grayed out as well. This is also shown with Hot Shot in the alternate past scene in Transformers: Armada: "Drift". Earlier, after sacrificing himself to block the Hydra Cannon blast, Optimus turns white (along with Eye Lights Out) before crumbling into dust. In the penultimate episode, Sideways also experiences Eye Lights Out.

He's Dead, Jim / int_81692f99	comment	Star Trek: Star Trek: The Original Series is the Trope Namer, as it's a line commonly spoken by Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, often regarding the poor Red Shirt who just bit it. He often has help from his Tricorder, which may be more accurate, but Bones didn't always use it before declaring, "He's Dead, Jim". On occasion, Bones would give a more detailed description, such as "his neck was broken" and "every cell in his body's been disrupted". He also has a couple of instances where he says "You're dead, Jim" and even "I'm dead, Jim," but they obviously don't take. Amusingly, Bones' very first use of the line (Episode 5, "The Enemy Within") was in reference to a dog-like alien creature rather than a crewmember. Deep Space Nine: In "Starship Down", the Defiant is hit badly, and everyone is tossed around. One of the bridge crew looks at two unconscious people for a moment, then declares them to be dead. No one questions this, even though this is a few episodes after Dr. Bashir criticised the Tricorder as not very good at identifying deadness. Only the captain gets any medical attention. Star Trek: Voyager: While visiting a planet, Neelix finds a native woman who's been struck down, bends over her, and declares her dead — despite not being a doctor or having a Tricorder. He's also not native to that world (although he is native to the quadrant and might have encountered that species before), so he has no reason to even be certain of her physiology. This might be the most egregious use of the trope across all of Star Trek.

When he recovers he sees it's his friend Paul who's been mutilated (likely by Yorga or his brides). Paul's arm then falls to the ground, his head rolls to the side and he goes lifeless. Yorga decides to humor Hayes that he really is a vampire by allowing him into his throne room where his three brides sleep. Among them is his friend Erica who had went missing the previous night. Hayes goes to her and checks her pulse and heartbeat, but finds nothing. Of course this is zig-zagged by the fact that Erica is indeed dead but soon rises as a vampire i.e an undead. Micheal manages to reach the throne room but finds a bloodied Hayes dying after having been fed on by the brides. Hayes informs him of where Donna is before his hand falls to the floor. After Micheal fends off Erica and the red headed bride, the camera lingers on Hayes's corpse after he leaves the room. When Micheal confronts Yorga and his blonde bride. Yorga pushes her into the stake he was holding out and runs off. We see said bride fall over and when Micheal kills Yorga and goes to collect Donna. The camera pans down to the bride's body which still has a bit of the stake in her, indicating she's truly dead this time. When Yorga is staked, we get multiple camera shots of him writing in pain before finally dropping to the ground. When Michael and Donna later look him over. He's withered into a dusty skeleton. And finally the final shot of the movie which ends on a shot of Micheal's bloodied face after the newly vampirized Donna attacks him.

McCoy is present and is one of the two major characters tackling Kirk to stop him from opening the radiation shield doors to reach a dying Spock. The original script had McCoy saying "He's Dead, Jim" but DeForest Kelley refused to say the line, knowing it would cause audiences to laugh instead of cry. It's left to Scotty to tell Kirk "Sir, he's dead already!" McCoy instead speaks Scotty's line "NO, you'll flood the whole compartment!"

He's Dead, Jim / int_9a7088bc	comment	Star Trek: The Original Series is the Trope Namer, as it's a line commonly spoken by Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, often regarding the poor Red Shirt who just bit it. He often has help from his Tricorder, which may be more accurate, but Bones didn't always use it before declaring, "He's Dead, Jim". On occasion, Bones would give a more detailed description, such as "his neck was broken" and "every cell in his body's been disrupted". He also has a couple of instances where he says "You're dead, Jim" and even "I'm dead, Jim," but they obviously don't take. Amusingly, Bones' very first use of the line (Episode 5, "The Enemy Within") was in reference to a dog-like alien creature rather than a crewmember.

In the series ninth episode, Lily, having been given a dose of potassium, collapses to the ground and loses consciousness. Conrad witnesses this and, after summoning assistance, begins rendering aid. When defibrillator shocks and other conventional methods are unsuccessful, Conrad proceeds to attempt CPR on Lily for a [full 20 minutes. At that point, with Lily still non-responsive, one of the other doctors tells Conrad that he can stop now ... and after holding back tears to call the time, tearfully concedes defeat.

He's Dead, Jim / int_a183d57f	comment	Futurama: The series, never having been shy about a Shout-Out to Star Trek, uses this trope often. The two most common characters to say it are Fry and Zoidberg — except Fry is The Ditz, and Zoidberg is a doctor but not a very good one, so neither of them are right most of the time. Fry even has a bit of a Running Gag where he would announce, "He's dead," whenever the cast came across a body, much in the spirit of this trope. In "Where No Fan Has Gone Before", the cast of the original Star Trek explains how the show became a religion so vast and influential, the Powers That Be saw it as a threat and executed its adherents — in "the manner most befitting virgins". Cue a line of Trekkies being tossed into a volcano. Each time someone is tossed in, the men doing the tossing would say, "He's dead, Jim." In "Bend Her", Bender (in disguise as "Coilette") has to fake his/her death to get out of marrying Calculon. Zoidberg pronounces him/her dead — while at the buffet table yards away, barely paying attention. In "When Aliens Attack", the crew is attempting to recreate the final episode of "Single Female Lawyer", but they can't act for the life of them: Subverted in Into the Wild Green Yonder, after an unsuspecting Fry is struck on the head by a feminist who fell from the sky:

He's Dead, Jim / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager: While visiting a planet, Neelix finds a native woman who's been struck down, bends over her, and declares her dead — despite not being a doctor or having a Tricorder. He's also not native to that world (although he is native to the quadrant and might have encountered that species before), so he has no reason to even be certain of her physiology. This might be the most egregious use of the trope across all of Star Trek.

He's Dead, Jim / int_f1da64b5	comment	The falling-and-shattering-object version was used twice—with the same object—in The Lord of the Rings films. Except that neither of the characters involved actually dies...they're just trying to make you nervous.

He's Dead, Jim / int_f22e6bb4	comment	Black Hawk Down: Delta Force veteran Hoot is able to tell at a single glance that the head-shot Sgt. Pilla is dead, while the rest of the Rangers in the Humvee are still struggling with the fact when Lt. Col. McKnight inquires on their status. Although, this has more to do with Hoot's professionalism and experience than with medical confusion, since Pilla's head wound is gruesome. There's more of a struggle involved in Mark Bowden's book, where the Hoot-equivalent was not riding in the Humvee, and the Rangers struggle for a while (the words "how can you tell? Are you a medic?" are mentioned).

He's Dead, Jim / int_f6a1016f	comment	The Matrix The Matrix. After Neo has apparently been shot to death, Agent Smith tells another Agent to "Check him." The other Agent puts a finger to Neo's neck (apparently checking his pulse), then immediately says "He's gone." The "arm falling" version occurs in The Matrix Reloaded when the Keymaker dies. Somewhat justified in that his chest was full of Agent Smith's bullets at the time.

He's Dead, Jim / int_f76b14b4	comment	Subverted in The Quick and the Dead. Spotted Horse boasts that he's Immune to Bullets and has the scars to prove it. The male protagonist Cort takes him down with a single bullet (he's only allowed one) during their Quick Draw competition. The doctor without even approaching the body says casually, "He's dead." Cort turns to walk away...

He's Dead, Jim / int_fcc8968	comment	In one of the two Made for TV Movies featuring Ewoks[1] the one titled Ewok:The Battle For Endor had the Towani family (the human stranded on Endor in the first film, Caravan Of Courage) wearing life monitor bracelets. The bracelets have lights representing each family member, which goes out when they die. As the youngest child, the girl, Cindel sadly notices when raiders invade the Ewoks village where her mother and brother, Caterine and Mace, were. Her father, Jeremitt, escapes briefly and managed to carry her into the forest. He orders Cindel to run and was killed by the raiders as he stayed behind to distract them. One of the bracelets was a plot point in the first movie to indicate to Mace and Cindel that their missing parents were alive. They were featured more prominently in the second movie, especially the one that Cindel wore. Perhaps to indicates death without the mostly kids audience (Both movies were considered family movies, shown in prime time) actually seeing her family dying violently.
