A dead character has a peaceful expression. Sometimes noble and dignified as well. May follow Go Out with a Smile, Obi-Wan Moment, and Big Sleep, but may also have died in visible misery and pain, with Dies Wide Open. May be part of This Was His True Form, and result from Dying as Yourself. The mundane (or Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane) equivalent of Died Happily Ever After... and it certainly can be Truth in Television. Not to be confused with Drop Dead Gorgeous, where the female body remains a sex object even when it's dead. Real Life embalmers are paid good money to achieve this effect. The muscles in the face tend to constrict slightly during the embalming process, often resulting in the appearance of a faint smile on the corpse. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. Examples |

BoJack Horseman: Averted, when Bojack's mother Beatrice finally died, it was a stroke that finished her off, and Bojack even mentions they had to have a closed-casket funeral in spite of her wishes, because the coroner couldn't fix the rictus grimace of agony frozen on her face. He describes it as a "pissed-off toy dinosaur" (and even mimics it for the horrified audience, complete with a Scare Chord). | |

In Umineko: When They Cry, Maria is found this way in the fourth arc. Battler notes that the murderer apparently went out of their way to make her look that way, and it actually looks pretty squicky, since she's lying so peacefully in the lap of her mother, whose face was half-blown off, surrounded by adults whose faces were half-blown off. | |

Discussed in The Simpsons episode "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish". Marge lets Homer sleep in on what he believes will be the last day of his life because he "looked so peaceful lying there". "There'll be plenty of time for that!" It's seemingly played straight when Marge finds him the next morning sitting in the living room recliner, having spent his last morning listening to the Bible on tape, but it turns out the poison never got into his system, and he thankfully survived, so he was just asleep. | |

In Octopath Traveler II, Ochette offers to sit with her final boss and give it some jerky after she defeats it, in an attempt to give it some peace as it's dying. This is because it's the possible Animal Companion she didn't choose at the start of her story, after being experimented on for ten years, and she could tell it was suffering rather than evil. It finally goes quiet as she does so, implying that she succeeded. | |

Naruto: Chiyo's brother Ebizo laments that she's not pretending to be dead, but notes how peaceful she looks. For all the shit he's pulled, Madara Uchiha (the real one) ends up dying this way, where he is comforted by his childhood friend Hashirama, with Madara himself peacefully accepting his defeat and admitting that he was wrong. When Neji is fatally wounded saving Naruto and Hinata's lives, he goes out with a smile on his face. He's satisfied with dying while saving the people he loved just as his own father did when he sacrificed himself to save his twin brother. Obito is remarkably calm while he's slowly disintegrating after taking one of Kaguya's attacks to help the heroes. |

Subverted in Kill la Kill AU, where, while she doesn't die, although she was mortally injured, this happens to Ryuuko after being hit by car. For once, in a long time, seemingly at peace, her last word before losing consciousness was "Sunshine", which, according to Mako, in Room 002108, is one of the things that make her happy. | |

When the badass Vampire Lord David finally died in The Lost Boys he mysteriously lost his wicked stubble and looked about ten years younger - A Lost Boy if you will. A lot of people has said that the perfect ending of that movie would be a shot of a "Missing Child"-Poster from 1950 with Innocent David on it. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: In the appendices of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, it is said that Aragorn's face upon succumbing to death struck all who saw it as peaceful and noble. Likewise with Boromir. But subverted with those in the Dead Marches. The Fall of Númenor: The early Númenoreans were given long lives and the option to lie down and pass away when they feel their time was done, and their faces reflected the peace of mind of someone who know their task is over and is looking over to the next life. As they become increasingly corrupted and greedy, though, the Númenoreans begin fearing death and clinging to life, wearing terrified and twisted expressions on their faces when they pass away. |

In The Order of the Stick, Durkon is defeated by Malack. As the vampire drains his lifeblood, Durkon begs Malack to at least let his friends live. In deference to the friendship they shared in the short time they knew each other, Malack agrees. The lives of his friends assured, Durkon is able to die in peace. He sheds a tear, knowing that according to the Oracle's prophecy he will finally be able to go home. He dies with a smile on his face and X's in his eyes. Unfortunately, the High Priest of Hel that takes over Durkon's vampirized body does not share the same sentimentality that Malack did. | |

In Dark Souls II, the Forest of Fallen Giants contains several trees that used to be the corpses of giants slain in the war between the giants and Drangleic. Examining them will just say "Alas, nothing happened", until later in the game when you have a certain item that allows you to do something with them. However, there is one of these trees hidden away in a secluded area that the item will not work on. Examining it will instead say "A giant rests in peace". This tree also has a small chance of providing you with a useful item every time you get invaded. | |

In While My Pretty One Sleeps, Myles recalls that even with her throat cut and blood all over her coat, his wife Renata looked as though she could be sleeping rather than dead; he wonders if the deputy commissioner shut her eyes out of respect, or if she closed her eyes in her final moments. At her funeral, Sal tried to comfort Myles by telling him to "Try to think of your pretty one as sleeping", to which Myles flatly replied "She's not sleeping. She's dead." | |

The Punisher MAX: Frank kills Bullseye while he's in a coma (right through his forehead target tattoo), which doesn't change his happy expression one bit. It only makes him that much creepier, considering how cheerful he always was when kidnapping families to have them executed so he could get into Frank's head (and succeeded). Bullseye even went into the coma peaceful and happy, as it was caused by the injuries and brain damage he gained during his final battle with Frank in Kingpin's tower, which he saw as his Magnum Opus. Frank didn't come out much better, having been broken both physically and mentally, because Bullseye had figured out the last thing Frank had told his wife right before she and their kids were murdered: "I'm leaving". | |

Phantom Blood: Jonathan Joestar is able to leave life peacefully after making sure that his bride Erina and the orphaned baby girl they rescued will survive. He dies hugging the (still alive) head of his friend/brother/mortal enemy Dio Brando. Like with most parts of Jonathan's life, Dio messes this up too by hijacking Jonathan's body and using it to wreck havoc in the future. Thankfully, Jonathan's sacrifice wasn't in vain, since Dio is ultimately wiped out for good by Jonathan's great-great-grandson. | |

A Very Private Affair: Jill becomes a celebrity overnight and her life becomes hellish as she is hounded by obsessive fans and the media. In the end, she is walking across some tall roofs, trying to watch a play from afar, when a paparazzo's camera flash startles her and causes her to fall off. The film's last shot focuses on Jill very calmly falling to her death in slow-motion, seemingly glad at her fate. | |

One Piece seems to say that anyone with the Will of D tend to go out like this. Look at Ace and his parents all smiling and at peace at their deaths. Roger died happy knowing that he lived a life filled with no regrets and that he wouldn't be forgotten. Rouge died happy knowing that her son would live and have a relatively safe childhood. Ace died happy knowing that he was able to protect Luffy, and that, despite having the blood of a "demon" in his veins, he was truly, honestly loved. |

Godzilla fanfiction Abraxas: Empty Fullness: Discussed. When Vivienne was a child, she was confronted with death for the first time when she attended the funeral of a friendly elderly neighbor. Her mother Susan commented to her that the neighbor in his coffin looked like he was sleeping, but Vivienne thought at the time that he looked more like a mannequin than anything else, and she broke down in tears during the car ride home. Ironically, decades later, Susan looks peaceful when she dies in Monster X's presence. | |

Much later, in Golden Wind, death happens incredibly often. More than half the named characters die, and whenever a hero bites it, it's always at the hands of the Boss's Stand, King Crimson. Among those murdered by the Boss are Leone Abbacchio, Narancia Ghirga, and Bruno Bucciarati. Abbacchio, looking as though he is sleeping, reunites with his long-deceased police partner in his mind before departing for the next life. As he had switched with Giorno as he was killed, Narancia's body was left uninjured, and was left in the flowers of his hometown. Bruno technically dies in the middle of the story, but sticks around for a little longer before his spirit says his last goodbyes and ascends to heaven. In short, each time a hero dies, we see them go in peace, which turns out to be darkly ironic when the Boss seemingly dies, but is then revealed to have to face a torment that will never end. | |

Code Geass has a few characters go out this way... Euphemia li Britannia went out this way despite being inadvertently brainwashed into killing the very people she was trying to help. After being fatally shot by her half-brother Lelouch, she spends her last minutes alive with her Love Interest, Suzaku, and dies trying to tell him how happy she was with him. Shirley Fenette, after being shot in the gut, gives Lelouch a Dying Declaration of Love and dies in his arms with a smile. Her happy tone never changes even as Lelouch tries to use Geass to will her into surviving. Rolo Haliburton, despite being the one who murdered Shirley out of jealousy, also goes out peacefully when he proves that his love for Lelouch is more than an obsession, saving him from the traitorous Black Knights at the cost of his own life. Lelouch even let him die happy as he passed away from an ailing heart. Finally, at the ending, Lelouch himself is this at the end since his death was part of his plan for world peace, and he went out of his way to make sure that it would work. A self-engineered Heroic Sacrifice after lots of planning, he met his death with resounding grace, and died happily, his goals accomplished to the letter. |

The Fall of Númenor: The early Númenoreans were given long lives and the option to lie down and pass away when they feel their time was done, and their faces reflected the peace of mind of someone who know their task is over and is looking over to the next life. As they become increasingly corrupted and greedy, though, the Númenoreans begin fearing death and clinging to life, wearing terrified and twisted expressions on their faces when they pass away. | |

Anne of Green Gables: In the first book, after Matthew dies, his expression is described as "a little kindly smile as if he but slept, dreaming pleasant dreams." The grieving Anne later reflects on "that awful peace on his brow." In Anne of the Island, Ruby Gillis finally admits to Anne that she is dying and confesses it terrifies her: all she will lose in life, and she has not readied herself for Heaven. But after she dies that night, her face shows that Death brought a wisdom that years of experience might have earned her. Captain Jim in Anne's House Of Dreams. His Life Book has just been published, which he's thrilled about, and he settles down for the night to read it. Anne and Gilbert find him dead the next morningnote He was in his late seventies, so his death was most likely age-related. He's stretched out on the sofa with a peaceful expression on his face, holding the book, which is opened to the last page. Earlier in the book, he had mentioned that he hoped to have a quick and easy death; it would seem that he got what he wanted. |

The same may go for Hercule Poirot himself: As soon as Captain Hastings leaves his room for the final time and goes downstairs, the Belgian detective suffers his final bout of angina, grabs the rosary next to the amyl nitrite he refuses to take, and prays to God for forgiveness in agonizing pain, all the while the piano piece plays in the background. When Hastings quickly returns to find Poirot dead, it is not until we see the action for the second time near the end of the final episode that we get to see his body, tangled up in his bedsheets, his legs curled up in a fetal position, his arms outstretched, his hand still clutching the rosary, his face half-buried under the covers; and yet he is relaxed in a peaceful position with his eyes closed in a Big Sleep, as though he is redeemed in the eyes of God. | |

Kill la Kill fanfictions: From Fragile Thread, we have Mako's suicide. Subverted in Kill la Kill AU, where, while she doesn't die, although she was mortally injured, this happens to Ryuuko after being hit by car. For once, in a long time, seemingly at peace, her last word before losing consciousness was "Sunshine", which, according to Mako, in Room 002108, is one of the things that make her happy. Kiryuuin Chronicles: Rei seems to have finally been at peace, considering all that had happened. Satsuki also noted that death was what had freed her, thus making her death symbolically an example of I Die Free. Satsuki's death of leukemia in Sunshine. It was also mentioned that she died smiling. |

In American Beauty, the peaceful expression on Lester's face in his moment of death is not only the result of his growth through the entire film, it also pretty much encapsulates the theme (the spiritual joy of finding "beauty" in the seemingly banal or even supposedly ugly products of everyday life). | |

The shooting script for Moulin Rouge! signifies Satine's death by stating "Satine's eyes are peaceful now." Her bereaved lover Christian is decidedly not peaceful, though. | |

In one of the High Honor endings of Red Dead Redemption 2 as provided by the image, Arthur Morgan, having suffered from tuberculosis and from terrible wounds inflicted on him by Micah Bell, is left to die alone after successfully convincing Dutch van der Linde to abandon Micah and leave. Emerging triumphant from battle, Arthur, content that he has sacrificed himself to give John Marston and his family a better future, crawls over to the edge of a cliff and huddles up against a giant rock there to spend his final moments at dawn. Seconds later, however, his tuberculosis is taking a hold of him as he is being suffocated and struggling to breathe in agonizing pain. As his gasping is slowing down, he turns his head around to catch a glimpse of the sunrise for the final time before slowly letting out his last breath as his eyes gently close in a Big Sleep, dying with a peaceful expression on his face. | |
