Other deaths

Cutscenes

Silent Hill: Homecoming

 * In the nightmare hospital, if the player fails to repeatedly press the Action button when reaching for the Robbie Rabbit toy in the mirror, Alex Shepherd's arm will be severed, where he instantly passes out due to the shock.
 * If a Feral leaps on Alex and the player doesn't respond immediately, the Feral will rip out his throat, causing immediate death.
 * If a Schism grabs Alex, it will rip Alex in half from the waist if it isn't dealt with.
 * The Sepulcher can squish Alex, but Alex will still stand as if he were hit normally by a common enemy.
 * When the player doesn't dodge Scarlet's attacks, she will grab Alex by both arms and bite his head off.
 * If Asphyxia grabs hold of Alex by his arms, she will hold him close to her as she sucks the air from his lungs, causing Alex to die of asphyxiation.
 * When Alex is tortured by Margaret Holloway, the player must succeed with quick time events: If the player fails during the Judge's drilling of Alex's leg, he will die of shock, and if the player fails as the Judge attempts to drill Alex's head, he dies gruesomely, befitting that manner. This death scene was removed from the game before it was released to certain countries, due to their strict laws on violence.
