It's a little tricky to define—a character knows they will not survive and allows themself to die. Another character crashes a vehicle, but it's unclear whether their death was intended or not.

Only referenced. A serial rapist is caught with several young women's IDs in his glove box, all of which were reported missing and then found after they supposedly overdosed and died. This same information is repeated in different phrasing a few times.
