While disguising a murder is a common occurrence in crime fiction, sometimes — especially when the murderer is a corrupt government or similarly powerful body — the death is simply reported as something other than murder. This can also occur when criminals who are too desperate to care give an account of their actions. When Played for Laughs, the report describes such an implausible set of circumstances that the true cause is obvious.
To get technical, in order to avoid misuse of this trope, let's look at what the coroner (or physician who signs the death certificate) must determine following a death. There are three aspects that must be discovered: The Cause of death, the Mechanism of death, and the Manner of death. Taking them in order:
The cause of death is the disease or injury that produces the physiological disruption inside the body resulting in death, for example, a gunshot wound to the chest.
The mechanism of death is the physiological derangement that results in the death. Staying with the "gunshot wound to the chest" example, the mechanism of death could be "exsanguination" note extreme blood loss if the victim bled profusely, or it could be "cardiac failure" if the wound caused the heart to simply stop beating.
The manner of death can only be one of six categories: 1) Natural, 2) Accident (or in some countries, "Misadventure"), 3) Suicide, 4) Homicide, 5) Undetermined, 6) Pending.
In this trope, it's almost always either the Cause or the Manner (or both) that's deliberately misstated; when determining if a work contains an example of this be careful not to confuse Cause and Mechanism.
This doesn't necessarily include circumstances like a suicide victim shooting themselves in the head twice. As unlikely as it seems, it has been well-documented that, unfortunately, suicide victims might not succeed with the first shot. With the state they're in after that, they tend to try and finish the job. Indeed, one poet shot himself in the heart three times before dying.
Compare Never Suicide or Make It Look Like an Accident — that's when someone takes significant steps to disguise a murder as such, instead of just proclaiming it not murder and suggesting you shouldn't disagree.
Compare Cut Himself Shaving. May overlap with Bad Liar or Suspiciously Specific Denial. Contrast Unperson.
Sub-Trope of Implausible Deniability. Despite the name, it doesn't have to involve the actual coroner.
As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.

In Night Watch, readers actually witness the careful rearrangement of (few) allies and (many) enemies of the old patrician to assure that when an assassin walks right up to him and gives him a heart attack, nobody in the room sees anything at all. And the old patrician in question really did die of a heart attack; the assassin in question (namely, a young Havelock Vetinari, who would one day become patrician himself) scared him to death.

In When Darkness Falls, Nina is honor murdered by her family who chases her over a high-speed street until she collapses on the street and gets hit by a truck. The family makes it look like a suicide and they later even tell Leyla, Nina's younger sister, that Nina killed herself, even though Leyla saw everything of the murder.

In The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, Dirk Gently's employer is found decapitated, with his head sitting neatly on a record player. The police called it the trickiest suicide they had ever seen because the room was locked from the inside and they weren't about to write "killed by a demon" on the paperwork. Because they were irritated with the situation and with Gently, the police tell him to figure out how the guy did it. Or else. After some investigating, he dashes off an apparently improbable but plausible scenario.

In Might & Magic 7, after the arc where Player Characters intervene in the war between Erathia and the Tularean Forest, Judge Grey dies, supposedly of old age. It's possible this is what happened, and you can't prove otherwise, but it seems very, very much a coincidence. The PCs have proven to be the first competent lords of Harmondale, which is disputed territory, and strategically vital to both the Dark and Light forces, and Judge Grey was uncaring and likely unwilling to negotiate with either. Seeing as he's dead, the PCs have to decide between allying themselves with the Light or Dark forces - the most important decision of the game - so it's hard to believe that no foul play was involved.

Heathers is about killing the most awful hateful members of the student body and covering it up as suicides. Despite falling through glass tables and shooting themselves in the throat, apparently. To be fair, the throat-wound victim was set up to look like he was shot by someone else. It was just set up to look like a suicide pact, rather than the murder that it was.

Played straight and then inverted in Dark Angel: first, a gangster pushes a man out of a window to make it look like he killed himself after a deal went sour. When the gangster is attempting to flee the country with a stolen artifact, Logan takes the man's gun and shoots the assumed suicide vic in the head with it, then plants the gun in the gangster's luggage, effectively framing a guy for a murder he had actually committed.

Voice: Dong-chul's death in episode 1-4 is an obvious murder—he has head injuries that couldn't have come from a fall, and his feet are all sliced up, due to walking on broken glass—but the cops and the coroner call it suicide because of the ongoing cover-up of the murder of Jin-hyuk's wife.

Copper:
A man is found hanged but the cops quickly determine that it was not a suicide. They later discover that it was a case of justified homicide. However, the killer was a black woman and the victim a white man so it will be impossible for her to get a fair trial in 1864 New York. To save her from hanging, they officially rule the death to be a suicide. The dead man's daughter protests the coverup until she's informed that with the case closed, she will receive her inheritance immediately (whereas if they have to reopen the case, she will probably have to wait for a long time before she sees any of the money). Since she never really liked her father, she quickly accepts the verdict, takes her money and goes on with her life.
This is played with in season 2 when Corcoran kills Brendan Donovan. He would normally hang for it but he strikes a deal with the corrupt politicians of Tammany Hall that lets him get away with the murder. Corcoran insists that the death be officially ruled a suicide but is informed that this is not possible since they already had the death reported as 'accident while cleaning his gun'.

From the Honor Harrington novel Mission of Honor comes Admiral Crandall's death. On the one hand, committing suicide is a reasonable alternative to being the first Solarian Battle Fleet admiral to surrender ever, particularly since that defeat was due to gross incompetence on Crandall's part. On the other hand:

At one point, the psychic Maxwell Lord used his powers to make everyone in the world forget about him, including thinking that Ted Kord, a man he'd shot in the head, killed himself. Part of the reason the conspiracy was uncovered was that Batman carried out an autopsy, and realized that Kord would have had to have shot himself in the forehead, from straight-on, with his non-dominant hand. Not impossible, sure, but if he were looking at the corpse in any other situation, he'd immediately declare it to be murder, and the fact that he's even considering that it's a suicide means that his brain is being tricked somehow.

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Basque Grand kills a General Ripper in full view of his subordinates to prevent more pointless deaths. The surrounding officers all agree it was a "stray bullet" and ask Grand for orders since he's now the senior officer. Interestingly enough, this scene was not adapted in the Brotherhood anime.

In Dragaera: "He committed suicide by stabbing himself in the left eye" and "I said I believed he had committed suicide, and I meant it — it's suicide to go up against me." Vlad is, of course, entirely correct in that assessment.

In Accidental Death of an Anarchist, the aforementioned Anarchist died after "falling" out of the window of the police station where he was being interrogated.

In The Skulls, the protagonist's Token Black Friend is investigating the Skulls secret society of which the protagonist is a new member. One day, he finds the friend in his dorm hanging from the ceiling, having apparently committed suicide. This is how the cops rule it. The protagonist is suspicious and finds evidence that appears to point to his new friend among the Skulls. He sneaks into the security room of the Skulls' secret meeting place and finds out that his now-dead friend sneaked into the building using a key he stole from his Skulls friend. The latter then confronted him and chased him to the second floor. The first guy trips and falls, only to be caught by his legs by the second guy. Unable to hold him, the first guy falls, and an audible crack is heard, an apparent Neck Snap. The second guy runs away. However, the protagonist keeps watching the security footage and sees the Skulls' security people arriving and confirming that the first guy was still alive. The head of security calls the second guy's father and then does another Neck Snap to finish the job. Presumably, a coroner would be able to tell if the death came from hanging or having one's neck snap (not to mention the big hit on the head), but the Skulls have a lot of connections and likely paid someone off.

In Mystery Men, the Bowler's father's death is described as follows:
Potentially averted in a Refuge in Audacity sense; Tony P claims that he is the one who gave Carmine the Bowler "the shaft." Whether this is simply a euphemism is unclear, but given the wacky nature of the film, it is entirely possible that Tony pushed him onto some bullets down an elevator shaft.

In Who Silenced Elly Patterson, Elly is found dead, and murder is suspected. When the official coroner's report came back, an assistant came forward to the Ontario Provincial Police with suspicious of this trope, given that the autopsy report left off a number of puncture wounds and lacerations, as well as the contents of Elly's stomach, and that he had been pulled off the case in favor of the chief coroner doing the autopsy, and that the chief coroner might have connections to someone in the case with enough power and influence to cover it up. John turned out to be friends with the coroner (they were both in the model railroad club) and he asked for it to be done in a misguided attempt to protect his family. However, in a slight twist on this trope, he's not the murderer.

In The Boys, Supersonic is killed by the Homelander, offscreen, in a fashion so evidently brutal that his corpse is barely recognizable if not for his tattered outfit, including his leg being ripped off and his face reduced to a pile of ruined meat. Despite this, it ends up being credited to a drug overdose.

An inversion occurs in the Harry Potter fanfic, Make a Wish. Almost all of the deaths that occur around the mysterious Mr. Black (really Harry on vacation) are indeed accidents. But after a few dozen, the authorities just wink and smile whenever this comes up. One particularly ridiculous example has Minister Fudge accidentally throwing himself down a flight of stairs several times before drinking acid.

Sharpe: in "Sharpe's Mission", the title character pushes a corrupt and murderous officer down a well in front of a room full of people (right after the man gloats about how he'll get away with it all). His trusty sidekick, when asked by Wellington's spymaster what they just saw, says "Sure, but Colonel Brand's a funny man. Just jumped straight down that well. Now, why do you think he'd go and do a thing like that?" Later, Wellington gives orders for the man's death to be reported as a heroic one in combat, and that appears to be the end of the matter.

Essentially the purpose of the Special Investigations department of the Chicago police in Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files. When a dozen victims are mauled by wolf-like animals in the middle of Chicago, they're the ones that make reports about strings of animal attacks and close the case. When three different people's hearts explode out of their chests, they're the ones to protest too much. Presumably, most of these are filed as accidents. In a Lampshade Hanging, one of the actual coroners didn't protest too much, called a vampire corpse a vampire corpse, and ended up in a mental institute for three months. He ends up being one of Dresden's close allies.

In another incident involving Dr. Clef, one hapless scientist tried to use Clef to terminate SCP-682. Clef escaped without harm (why 682 didn't see fit to attack him is just one more mystery about him), and a few minutes later SCP-682 somehow beat the scientist who did this to death, despite never having left the observation room or indeed moving.

The numerous deaths in Supernatural that attract hunters to various towns (being the results of monster attacks) are usually deemed "animal attacks" by the police. Apparently, it's a lot easier to believe that a bear ripped out a guy's heart and left the rest of the corpse behind than it is to believe a werewolf did it. What they decide the machete-decapitated vampires and silver bullet-shot werewolves as is never discussed.

Discworld
The novels, especially ones revolving around the City Watch, feature a Running Gag where any death in Ankh-Morpork that results from stupid or reckless behavior is ruled as a "suicide." Examples of such behavior include but are not limited to: wandering around in the Shades, the toughest and most lawless neighborhood in Ankh-Morpork, at night; calling a troll a "rock"; trying to order a "short" beer in a dwarf bar; or going into the Mended Drum, a particularly (and deliberately) disreputable tavern, and calling yourself something like "Vincent The Invulnerable".
In I Shall Wear Midnight, it's revealed that the Nac Mac Feegle are violently protective of the mounds where they live, and anyone trying to dig up a Feegle mound is considered to be attempting suicide.

In Hot Fuzz, every murder committed is made to look like an accident. Each one seems improbable at the least, but the most obvious one is Leslie Tiller's death. "She tripped and fell on her own shears." Tiller's death seems to be the only death that's actually been witnessed in some time; the others were either staged for whoever found them, or they simply disappeared altogether.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: In the second edition "Knights of the Grail" sourcebook for Bretonnia it is mentioned that Bretonnian 'justice' is so badly tilted against the peasant class that peasants prefer informally dealing with peasant matters internally, rather than getting the nobility involved. In one specific example this led to a peasant who committed murder 'accidentally' tripping and stabbing himself a dozen times in the back with various farming implements... Or, at least, that was what the local lord was told happened. Bretonnian nobles think so little of the peasants the lord apparently found this an entirely plausible explanation.

In The Order of the Stick, Tarquin's ninth wife is revealed to have died of "mysterious circumstances" (which Elan believes to be a disease). Given that Tarquin is currently managing an Obviously Evil empire, the obvious conclusion is obvious. And wrong. As far as Tarquin or anyone else in his camp knows, she really did just drop dead one day for no discernible reason. It eventually turns out to have been collateral damage from V's Familicide spell.

Happens in Persona 5, where The Conspiracy attempts to have the main character killed in the middle of an interrogation room and claims he stole a guard's gun and committed suicide. The protagonist and his friends, with the help of the prosecutor who had been questioning him, successfully trick the Conspiracy into believing they succeeded so they can take them down in secret. If the player misses a Palace deadline or sells out his friends, however, they get a Bad Ending where the murder attempt is successful.

Crossing Jordan: Inverted in the episode, "Justice Delayed": The coroner did an intentionally lazy job on a Civil Rights era murder. He left the shotgun pellets in the body, assuming the Feds would take up the case and see the discrepancy (the racist local cops ordered him to say the victim was shot with birdshot, instead of the much larger and heavier buckshot, to throw suspicion off the shooter). When the Feds never came, he was stuck with the lie for decades.

In Birthright Official Playtest Notes one king was "found by his guards to have suffered a terminally fatal mountaineering accident in his living room". "Mountaineering" here isn't a euphemism for "falling from the bed" but rather a reference to climbing spikes.

The Age of Dusk at one point tells the story of Orvec Chenkov, a distant descendant of notorious General Ripper Colonel Chenkov and ruler of Valhalla, who fought a long and very bloody war in defense of his homeland, sacrificing countless soldiers to keep the threat of the corrupted Templars contained. It concludes by saying that he passed away in his sleep once the Templars were driven off... which a footnote further elaborates on that it took fourteen stubber shots, multiple poisons, three bayonets, and a hatchet to make sure he died in his sleep.

The Red Dwarf episode "White Hole" gave us an unusual example where the victim of the "accident" was artificial intelligence. Lister said the accident involved "Me, the Toaster, the waste-disposal unit, and a 15-pound lumphammer". It was actually first-degree toastercide.

Slaughter in Xi'an have the coroner investigating the Undignified Death of a man murdered via an Ass Shove involving a meter-long iron rod by the villains. The main villain, being wealthy and in a position of authority, interrupts the investigation process by literally shoving his bribe into the coroner's pockets.

When Oriole tells Karyn about Inez' death in The Howling (1977), she claims Sheriff Anton Gadak found Inez' car smashed against a tree near Karyn's driveway, with Anton believing she "must've fallen asleep at the wheel"; Oriole conveniently adds that it wouldn't be a good idea to view the body as Inez went through the windshield and got badly cut up. Karyn is immediately suspicious because the safety system built into Inez' car means the engine wouldn't even start without her seatbelt being clipped in, which should've kept her in her seat even if she crashed. Karyn also notes that there aren't any trees near her house large enough to cause that kind of crash, nor any signs of damage to the trees that are there. The reader already knows that Inez wound up as werewolf chow, with Karyn coming to the same grim conclusion.

In The Lost Fleet: Victorious, a ship's captain veers off at a critical moment during a firing run, which results in another ship being destroyed and a third ship being heavily damaged. However, the key issue is that he evaded battle, an obvious show of cowardice to the Attack! Attack! Attack! mentality of The Alliance fleet officers. Captain Desjani immediately tells Fleet Admiral Geary to relieve the captain of command and place him under armed guard. He hesitates until she explains that no officer could live with such shame. Geary then sends a message to the ship ordering this, but the ship's executive officer informs him that there was a terrible accident in the captain's stateroom, likely resulting from the captain cleaning his gun while it was loaded. Geary orders a full investigation into the death of the captain but privately hints to the XO of the ship what he "expects" to find (i.e. this trope). Why? Because he understands that the captain turned out to have been through one Pyrrhic Victory too many and broke under pressure, but that doesn't mean he should be remembered this way.

Galaxy of Fear has a convergence between this trope and Never Suicide. Early in City of the Dead, Doctor Evazan finds a child wandering the graveyard and force feeds him poisonous cryptberries, killing him quickly. Zak sees his body and Evazan almost does this to him, but a bounty hunter shows up, allowing Zak to spit them out. The bounty hunter's not talkative, and Zak is seen as incoherent since he's also babbling about zombies, but there was still clear evidence of murder here. Yet when the boy is referenced later by a skeptical character, he's said to have killed himself. Later Evazan injects Zak with diluted cryptberries and puts berries in his hands while he's near death. This is also ruled suicide since the undertaker is in with Evazan, though Zak's sister does not buy it.

Fallout 2 has Angela Bishop, a spoiled mob princess who will take an immediate dislike to a female PC. If you get tired of her haranguing you, you can threaten to throw her off a building and leave behind a very sad and heartfelt suicide note for the family to find. She shuts up very quickly.

A wrinkle was added in The Vampire Diaries when the local coroner and member of the secret council — his main responsibility is this trope, ruling that mysterious deaths are 'animal attacks' and most certainly not vampires — is himself murdered, in what may well be the first non-vampire-related murder Mystic Falls has had in years.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The circumstances surrounding Fire Lord Azulon's death are very, very suspicious. Sure, a 95-year-old man dying quietly in his sleep is not particularly remarkable. However, he was last seen loudly rejecting his younger son Ozai's bid for the throne and ordering his defenseless 10-year-old grandson's death. The next morning, Azulon is dead, Ozai is the Fire Lord, and the kid's mother has mysteriously disappeared...

At the end of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Sweet stops CJ from shooting Officer Tenpenny, since he was already fatally wounded and this way it would be an 'accident' with 'no one to blame'. This might fly better if the car crash didn't come after a 5-minute wild chase through the entire city, with Tenpenny firing at you all the way, which started at a building that contains about 2 dozen dead gangsters. Then again, considering the quality of police forces in GTA games, perhaps it did work.

In Zero no Tsukaima: Saito the Onmyoji, there's a mention of cases where people died under unusual circumstances after they stood in the way of the Church. The example mentioned is an Earl who possessed a relic of Brimir and refused to let the Church have it. He was sixty years old and hated hunting, but he was found dead in a hunting accident and left the relic to the Church in his will.

In the novel Wyrd Sisters, an assassinated king's death is reported as natural (the murderer's bodyguard explained to the king's doctor that it was a disease caused by unwise opening of the mouth).

In Tropico 3, it is possible to form secret police and have people disposed of, uh, end up in an unfortunate, yet convenient "accident" off screen. The regular excuse will be transmitted by radio not long after, this being that the victim tripped and fell out of the second story of their home onto the street, then being run over by an ambulance followed by a hearse.

In Shooter, a rookie FBI agent named Nick Memphis is investigating the shooting of a prominent figure, despite his superiors telling him to drop it. After he continues pushing, he is abducted and put into a special harness that is used by the captors to fake suicides. Basically, the harness points his hand at his temple, where they put the agent's own gun and use a rope to pull the trigger. He is saved just in time by Bob Lee Swagger, who has been framed for the shooting.

In the second major arc of Vinland Saga, Canute, having taken an enormous level in badass, arranges for several of his rivals for the throne of England to be poisoned, and their deaths are publicly described as being from illness. He does this again in the Baltic Sea War arc, this time to the leader of the elite mercenary army the Jomsvikings, counting on the resulting Succession Crisis to either diminish or destroy the Jomsvikings entirely so they no longer pose a threat to the peace.

Inverted in Death Note. Most of Kira's targets die of perfectly "natural" heart attacks, though L does start to become suspicious of this. Even before L takes the case Interpol agents are suspicious about the sudden wave of heart attacks among criminals around the world. L is just the first to track it back to the first victim of Kira.

Subverted on Lost. Miles questions the story that a dead man with a hole in his head accidentally fell into a ditch, and asks, "The ditch had a gun?" As it turned out, he was not shot but died in a freak accident in which one of his dental fillings was pulled through his skull.

NCIS:
Jenny Shepard's death by multiple bullet wounds reported as being caused by a fire at their residence, mainly to avoid complications over The Mole and what they were doing vis-a-vis a certain French Arms Dealer.
They also encountered a town with no murders but an awful lot of "hunting accidents".

Monk: "Mr. Monk Goes to Mexico" does it twice. The reason Monk is there is because the son of some friend of San Francisco's mayor had died while skydiving but the coroner determined that he had actually drowned. In mid-air. Monk is called in to investigate how such a bizarre murder cover-up might have happened, but it turns out that the coroner is lying, and tampered with the body after death to support his story in case anyone checked. The staging is because he's got an old score to settle with Monk and wants to lure him in with an unusual death. Said corner had, in fact, attempted the same thing several times before with various other bizarre deaths, trying to lure Monk down to Mexico (most notably a wild lion), but this was the first one that the local police didn't just write off as related to the Mexican drug trade.

The PC game Harvester has a memorable scene where the protagonist visits his girlfriend only to find a bloody skull and spinal cord lying in her bed. The sheriff rules the death "natural causes," as he puts it: "You can't live without a spinal cord, son. Nothing unnatural about that."

Law & Order:
An episode had a biker wannabe stabbed in the back with an oil can opener. When one of the bikers in the bar was questioned about it, he said he stabbed himself with it. Briscoe's reply was "So he threw it in the air and laid down to let it fall on him?"
Deconstructed in "Suicide Box". A young black teen shoots a cop because he believed his older brother was murdered instead of committing suicide as the Medical Examiner claimed. The M.E. in question did a very sloppy job (blaming being overworked and the morgue being understaffed), there is no body to exhume for a new autopsy (the coffin was filled with old tires), and most of the paperwork has gone missing, so it's not possible for McCoy to prove one way or the other.

To Kill a Mockingbird:
Boo's killing of Bob Ewell is said to be this. Atticus is initially under the impression that it was Jem who killed him and tries to rebuff sheriff Heck Tate's repeated insistence that "Bob Ewell fell on his knife," saying he's not going to pull any strings for his son, until Tate makes it clear that the person he's trying to protect is someone who needs privacy and whose life would be miserable if he suddenly became the center of local attention, much more so than Jem.
Tom Robinson's escape was likely another example. It's rather difficult to believe a man with one functioning hand could climb a fence at all, much less at a speed that necessitated the use of lethal force to prevent his escape, much less shooting him 17 times in the back to stop him.

In Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain, superheroes and supervillains are largely in it for fun or at least aren't actively trying to kill each other. Mourning Dove is one of the most powerful and thus most dangerous heroes because she has difficulty controlling her powers enough to not kill people. When a villain gets too violent (such as by directly targeting children), the other villains quietly provide Mourning Dove with their name and said villain "accidentally" gets killed in their next encounter.

Daredevil (2015):
When Karen Page first begins working with Ben Urich to expose the people that tried to have her killed for exposing Union Allied, the conversation shifts to Rance, the assassin that Wilson Fisk had sent to attack Karen in her apartment. Karen immediately realizes that everyone else involved with the case has been murdered to keep quiet.
Metro-General Hospital decides to cover up the Hand's attack (and murder of one of their nurses) by claiming that the nurse was stabbed by a junkie. Claire decides to quit rather than go along with the cover-up, especially since she also observes that the body of one of the ninjas had already undergone an autopsy.

In the intro to Heroes of Might and Magic II, there's a series of scenes showing how the prince killed off all the officials who chose the new king. One of them is described as a "boating accident", and the scene shown is of a wizard blasting a boat with lightning. Another dies of food poisoning (i.e., he drank something that was poisoned). The implication is that Archibald Ironfist, the not-so-good brother, did the Royal Seers in. He apparently realizes how unlikely the rash of deaths were, since he accuses his brother of murdering the officials.

The official story is that the referee strangled himself, jumped off a bridge, and then overdosed on amphetamines (all of which was actually caused by Rummy of course).

Case Closed: Inverted in one episode. The ex-boyfriend (who had broken up with the suspect some time beforehand) of an up-and-coming pop idol is found dead in her apartment, face down, with a knife sticking out of his back. Conan investigates, and deduces, correctly, that the death was the result of a suicide. The "breakup" was arranged by the idol's manager, with both parties thinking that the other had called it off. The ex, thinking he had been betrayed, decided to not only take his own life, but frame her for his own murder out of revenge. He froze the handle of a butcher knife in a block of ice, with the blade sticking out. Then he snuck into her apartment, placed the block of ice by a chair, turned the thermostat way up, then got onto the chair, flung himself backward onto the blade, breaking the ice, and with his last bit of strength turned himself over. The ice melted, leaving what appeared to be a straightforward case of murder. However, the heat from the thermostat, moisture around the body and marks on the chair gave it away.

Jon Arryn's poisoning in A Song of Ice and Fire was covered up by 'death from fever' by the corrupt Grand Maester Pycelle. It helped that the poison caused the victim to exhibit fever-like symptoms, Arryn was quite elderly on top of it, and that the only one who would know otherwise (apart from the actual poisoner) was in charge of Arryn's treatment.

In Cry Freedom, black activist Steve Biko is stopped by South African police and beaten severely, resulting in a brain injury. Despite the doctor's protests, they take him to a police hospital seven hundred miles away, exacerbating his brain injury and killing him. The press officially states that he died of a hunger strike, later trying to silence Donald Woods when he attempts to expose the truth. The worst part of this? This was entirely Truth in Television and Biko was far from the only case of this in apartheid-era South Africa.

In R.A. Salvatore's Homeland, three drow trainees from Drizzt's class die over their nine years of training at the Melee-Magthere. One is killed in the training arena (possibly to Make It Look Like an Accident or as a Klingon Promotion), one is executed after his failed assassination attempt, and a third "died in his bunk of natural causes — for a dagger in the heart quite naturally ends one's life." Though this could be justified by the general disposition of the average drow. Maybe that IS a natural cause to them, being Always Chaotic Evil and all.

In Paycheck, the protagonist is being interrogated by the FBI after working on a secret project for two years and having all memory of this time wiped. The Feds explain that his research partner was found dead of "natural causes", natural being "gravity" in this case, as he "fell out of his apartment window". When the protagonist later tells the same thing to his friend, the guy immediately realizes that there was nothing natural about this and starts giggling nervously.

When Ace Yu asks Bubba the bartender how his uncle died in the Dog City special, Bubba replies "The police said it was an accident. Said he put on a lead swimsuit by mistake and then accidentally stabbed himself on the way off the roof."

In Back to the Future Part II, Biff says that Marty will either die due to falling off a building (which would be considered suicide), or "lead poisoning" (as in "I'm gonna shoot ya").

The use of this by the South African police is parodied in an episode of the British radio series The Very World of Milton Jones, in which Milton, whilst in prison in apartheid South Africa, slips on some soap in the shower, gets a towel wrapped around his neck and the light fitting, and then falls down some stairs, much to the bemusement of his guard — "What? But they'll never believe that. I mean, they have, they will." He doesn't die.

Warhammer 40,000 once described an incident where Vilhelm von Strab, the heir to the title of Overlord of the planet Armageddon, was found in his room with multiple bolter wounds. His younger brother Herman, who was next in line for the throne, in the same room, and holding a smoking bolter, proclaimed it was suicide. Coincidentally, and following the equally mysterious deaths of Vilhelm's two older brothers, this made Herman the only remaining heir, so the investigators decided to take his word for it rather than risk a succession crisis.

Blackadder:
In the first series episode "The Archbishop", the various Archbishops of Canterbury are reported as dying in a series of suspicious accidents — including one incident in which the king's hired killer ran towards the archbishop with his head bowed, and supposedly forgot that he was wearing a disemboweling helmet with a four-foot spike on the top. And another in which the victim accidentally impaled himself — on the spire of Norwich Cathedral. Finally, one was struck by a falling Gargoyle... while swimming at the beach.
In the third series episode "Dish and Dishonesty", Blackadder replaces a rotten borough's sole eligible voter, who "accidentally brutally stabbed himself in the stomach while shaving" and then manages also to simultaneously replace the election's returning officer, who "accidentally brutally cut his head off while combing his hair". It should go without saying that Blackadder's candidate, Baldrick, won handily.
In "Duel and Duality", Blackadder threatens to kill Baldrick by cutting him into thin strips and telling Prince George that he walked over an unusually sharp cattle grid while wearing an extremely heavy hat.

In one Medieval: Total War After-Action Report, the first time the author's faction assassinated another faction's leader, the cause of death was reported as a fall down a flight of stairs, with various outlandish and improbable explanations being given for the more suspicious injuries (such as impaling himself on the spiked banister for the various stab wounds). Saying that a character had "fallen down the stairs" became a euphemism for every assassination performed thereafter.

One episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus had a sketch/play where an old man was found dead in his living room with a train reservation ticket in his pocket. His grandson points out that he obviously shot himself and then hid the gun. The mother asks how he could have shot himself and then hid the gun without first canceling his reservation. Bear in mind, this Rail Enthusiast episode then degrades into a lengthy conversation about railroad schedule trivia.

CSI:
An interesting case in an episode: a man reports that his dead girlfriend shot herself in the head while he was in the bathroom. The problem is that she was shot through the head twice. It turns out to be an inversion: the first bullet fizzled and didn't make it out of the barrel, so she pulled the trigger again; the second bullet pushed the first through, giving her two bullets in one shot.
Another episode had the team going back and forth the entire episode between murder and suicide. After quite a lot of investigation, they realized what it actually was this: murder framing someone else for murder staged as suicide staged as murder staged as a suicide. The people involved were, um, very theatrical.

In Picket Fences, a convicted sex offender moves to town and is harassed and rejected until he's eventually found dead in an apparent suicide, having been shot twice in the head. In a subversion, it turns out that it was suicide. The first head wound wasn't immediately fatal, so he shot himself again.

In the Scarred Lands sourcebook for Shelzar, it's mentioned that everyone in the Adazi district is well aware that Mahati Farzod, madame of the Merry Widow brothel, wasn't widowed when her abusive husband Fazeel got into an accident but instead she, quote, "bludgeoned the miserable old bastard to death with a frying pan and fed him to the pigs", but nobody bothered to report her because Fazeel was that unpopular, even outside of his wasting all of Mahati's money and beating her in drunken rages.

The Hunger Games:
It's heavily implied in Mockingjay that this is the usual way for President Evil Coriolanus Snow to get rid of his opponents and just about anyone who threatens his position; Haymitch mentions that his entire family and his girlfriend all conveniently died in accidents after his actions in the Games were perceived as defiance towards the Capitol.
In the first book Katniss mentions a Tribute in a previous Hunger Games who went insane in the arena and started trying to eat the bodies of the other Tributes. He eventually died in an avalanche, which most citizens believe was deliberately triggered by the Gamemakers who didn't want to risk having a cannibal as the eventual winner.

In OMORI, prior to the events of the story, Sunny accidentally caused his sister’s death by pushing her down the stairs while they were having an argument. Him and his friend Basil had to make it look like suicide by hanging the body from a tree. It’s clearly not foolproof, as there were blood and grass stains on the body, and Mari was a girl who was happy with her life and didn’t have any reason to kill herself, but the police accepted it anyway.

By the time of A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, dream-killer Freddy's murders have become so widespread that the authorities, having no other leads to go on, have interpreted it as an epidemic of teenage suicides. Although Freddy does work to make some of them look self-inflicted, other official "suicides" include a girl apparently leaping three feet into the air to smash her own head through a TV set. It's considerably more absurd if you consider that they had to be including deaths from the previous movies as well — Glen from the original film evidently chose to kill himself by showering every gallon of his blood and his organs onto the ceiling from the giant hole that appeared in his bed, then hid his skeleton and skin so as not to worry anybody.

Apparently, the juvenile detention center in Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin doesn't have a coroner. The doctor instead doubles as one — the same doctor, incidentally, who regularly picks out pretty boys to rape. This means that if anyone who could potentially give proof of the rapes to outside authorities dies in an "accident", he can prevent word from getting out, so long as there are no external wounds on the body.

In The Long Dark Teatime Of The Soul, the police's reaction to a Locked Room Mystery in which the victim's head is severed from his body and sitting on a record turntable is that he was a suicide who was just trying to be difficult. Dirk gives them an explanation as to how this could be possible, which prevents them getting in the way while he tries to find out what really happened.

In On the Threshold Dr. Powell thinks professor Albertson's heart attack is the result of poison, not only because Dr. Powell suddenly experienced a sudden near-heart attack the same night, but because the next day the results of their research together were ransacked by an unknown perpetrator. Considering the genre and the presence of at least one conspiracy at the time with the clout to blackmail and kidnap an English baron into invasive brain surgery, he may be onto something.

In The Phenix City Story, Al points out that the claim that Fred Gage died by falling out of a moving vehicle and fracturing his skull in the process is patently absurd considering the ditch he was found in was filled with sawdust and thus "as soft as any bed in town".

Mass Effect: Andromeda: The death of Jien Garson is reported as being a result of the Scourge, and promptly ignored super-hard by the Initiative. Once Ryder does some investigating of their own, they find Garson was murdered, before anyone else should've been up and around, evidently by or on the orders of the Initiative's mysterious backer.

Kingdom of Loathing has the tale of St. Yule "Be Sorry" Brenner. Brenner apparently "committed suicide by stabbing himself repeatedly in the back, then throwing himself to wild dogs." Considering the similarity and the fact that it is Kingdom of Loathing, it's likely that this is a reference to the above example from Analyze That.

In Mafia II, Chapter 10, apparently someone managed to fall and hit their head on a table. 5 or 6 times. And the bloodstain that occurs is a mite too big to be an accident, and it occurs about 6 feet away from the table. And the table lacks any bloodstains.

The Sopranos: Ralphie and Tracee have an argument outside the Bada Bing! that escalates, ending with a violent fight where Ralphie kills Tracee by repeatedly bashing her face into a nearby metal guardrail. He comes back in out of breath, his hand and face injured, and clothes crumpled, saying that Tracee "slipped". Once the other capos see her mangled body, they immediately realize what really happened, but Ralphie continues to insist vehemently that she just fell.

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Nominus Prime's death, after being attacked by a suicide bomber, is labelled as "complications owing to a long-standing rust infection". It was actually Sentinel, killing him on his sickbed, once the Senate realized that the Matrix Nominus had was a fake. Ratchet, who'd served as Nominus' chief medical officer, calls foul on the Blatant Lies (Nominus never had a rust infection).

Tomorrow Never Dies: Bond returns to a hotel room to meet Paris Carver, only to be surprised with *Click* Hello from Dr. Kaufman who had already killed her, and was sent to stage the scene as a Murder-Suicide. Later, when Elliott Carver meets his end at sea, M dictates the official story is that he died in a "boating accident" and leaving deliberate ambiguity to imply suicide.

Star Trek: Enterprise Relaunch: In the 22nd century, when the Obsidian Order didn't bother "disappearing" people who upset them, they'd often kill them and claim afterwards that the unfortunate soul had just had a domestic row that had gotten extremely out of hand. Of course, the Cardassians who knew what was going on could easily find themselves in a "domestic argument" of their own. (Curiously enough, the Cardassian wistfully recounting this doesn't specify what becomes of the supposed murderer... knowing Cardassians, that's probably for the best.)

In The Sunne in Splendour the elderly and saintly King Henry VI is deposed for the second time. King Edward IV knows that as long as Henry lives there will be rebellions around him and more bloodshed. So, he kills the man himself and puts out a story that he died of a broken heart. Edward, who is generally merciful, isn't happy about what he felt he had to do.

In the Gallifrey audio series, it's revealed Irving Braxiatel once was saved from a secret execution order when the intended assassin had a tragic accident with some electric equipment shortly after announcing how much he'd like to kill Brax. Irritated, the then-Lord President of Gallifrey ordered him to complete the killer's next assignment - the assassination of a particular Time Lord dissenter, and his granddaughter. The Lord President never managed to check the order was carried out, as he died unexpectedly the very same day following a tragic accident with some electric equipment. There was an inquest; happily, it was ruled accidental death, with no one really responsible for it, and Brax, of course, should know — he was in charge of the inquest. note It should be noted that Brax is implied elsewhere to be the dissident's brother.
