Lore spoilers, specifically for game 2
GLADOS, who was originally a human woman names Caroline is forced to have her consciousness uploaded into the robot GLADOS and then kills every worker there with poison gas, lashing out at them for not listening to her explicit request to not be uploaded, and eventually becomes the main antagonist/villain in the first game, having somewhat of a redemption arc in the second game

The final boss fight takes place in a room filled with neurotoxin. While no one is heard or seen struggling, GLaDOS makes fun of humans who choked from the neurotoxin before.

Your entire character (no isolated body parts) can get crushed by machinery, but this isn't graphic and is treated as a default death scene.

There is a quick description of possible damage to crowns and blood taste in the mouth.
But no teeth is seen in the whole game.

Chell (your character) is equipped with boots designed to prevent this. She might occasionally cry out in pain though. Also, you technically can fall to your death if you jump off a surface into the water.

Late into the game, you have to go through several air tubes used to transport cubes across the facility, which are tight spaces.

During the GLaDOS boss fight, the monitors display rapidly flashing images. I don't know why so many people voted no since it's very much there, especially before the timer starts.

There's an in game fluid that looks like very dirty water, if the player falls in it, they'll die, but there'll be no movements or sounds that show any signs of actual drowning, so that could not be the case
