MAJOR SPOILERS
A main character is hanged for treason. The ending of the film leaves it unclear as to whether the main character, Lucy Gray, is dead or not. There is a scene which suggests that she is shot by Snow but her body is never found so it is not known whether she was killed or whether she survived.

With the exception of a couple of sole survivors, most people do not make it out of movies set within the Alien franchise and they are known for having a high fatality rate/two/three/one/survivor(s) to remain.

The show is pretty infamous for killing off major characters. Many seasons see at least one MC killed, often brutally. Season 8 has multiple MC die, often in stupid ways like a building falls on them. One MC is killed but does come back to life via magic, but most of the dead stay dead.
