A dog clearly dies in season 2, episode 13. You don't see the death or the dead dog but you see the dog's spirit emerge from a car that seemed to have hit something. It is implied that the dog's spirit is escorted to some sort of an afterlife.

In the 2009 movie Delores Herbig's cat Murray is euthanized. Much of the movie is spent explicitly leading up to it, so it is not a surprise. However, they show the needle he is euthanized with and there is a lot of grief shown over it.

Season 1 Episode 5. About half way through, while talking to a man in a diner, they cut to how he died— a large, poisonous spider is shown crawling up his neck.

The entire series revolves arround the afterlife and the spirits of the dead, though it is never framed as "creepy" or haunting

It's worth noting that the writer/creator is a gay man. This was most likely just him poking fun of his fellow gays. As for the transwoman, I'm not sure but I remember whichever character reaped her as being very kind to her? That too makes more sense when you remember the show is from 2003. With these things in mind it's easier to understand the perspective the show was written in, and possibly mitigate damage.

S1E1 - There's a bank robbery with two guns pointed at people. One of the guns is fired but not at anybody.
S2E2 - Roxy points her gun at Mason and shoots him inside of a diner. The gun is fired under a table and only the flash is seen.
S2E6 - (Mass Shooting off screen) A disgruntled man walks into a company building and pulls out an assault rifle. Off camera, multiple gunshots are heard but nothing is shown.
