When Testuo and kaori steal Kanedas bike they stop in the street and get attacked by the gang know as “the clowns.”
They pin kaori to the wall and rip her shirt off exposing her b*****s briefly then pinch her in the face knocking her out.

Not technically, but a character dies after being pulled into a mutated body mass in a way that is probably crushed to death but could be interpreted as being suffocated.

The character Mr. Nezu overdoses accidentally on his heart medication in one scene and is seen and heard choking on his pills before collapsing. In a previous scene, he is also seen struggling to breath while trying to take his medication.

no deaths are shown on-screen as none of the characters' parents are shown. it is implied that a majority of young characters are parent-less or missing at least one.

children's toys are objects of tetsuo's violent hallucinations including a teddy bear, a toy car, and a pink bunny, though the toys are not real and are not explicitly destroyed.

A character hallucinates very strongly and there are moments where reality blends weirdly due to that and psychic abilities.

Several unnamed background characters are shown to have likely committed suicide offscreen and are seen deceased in a bathtub with much blood around them. Afterwords, a character dies via an unintended overdose.

The f-word is seen written in graffiti a few times, the english dub also has a spoken use of the word, language isn't as frequent as other r rated films.

in the sewer scene, characters are pushed under water but are never in danger of drowning. people also die in water from other causes. the city is flooded and destroyed at the end. there are no drowning scenes/no one dies from drowning.
