!!'''As a DeathTrope, there will be marked AND unmarked spoilers ahead. Beware.'''

* "Window-Washing Cowboy" by Da Vinci's Notebook ends with the titular character leaping to his doom after the woman he has a crush on rejects him, [[SuicideAsComedy played in a humorous light]].

->''"If you remain callous and obdurate, I\\
Shall perish as he did and you will know why\\
Though I probably shall not exclaim as I die\\
'Oh, willow, titwillow, titwillow'.''"
-->-- '''Ko-Ko''', ''Theatre/TheMikado''

** In one of the [[BadEnd bad endings]], [[TheOjou Kotonoha]] [[DespairEventHorizon falls into such a despair]] after being rejected by [[TheCasanova Makoto]] in favor of her love rival [[GirlNextDoor Sekai]], that she throws herself off the top of the building Makoto lives in and dies in front of both of them. We later learn that [[GriefInducedSplit the trauma drove them to break up a while later]], [[TheMourningAfter and Makoto felt so guilty that he decided to never ever fall in love again]].
** There's also a path to the ''Christmas Eve''/''With Honesty'' endings with a scene where Kotonoha reveals that she would kill herself in the Hotel if Makoto didn't arrive at their planned date, as that would mean he didn't love her for real. Thankfully, the game never explicitly shows us what happens at the Hotel if the player decides to go meet Sekai in the station.
** In a less depressing and more black comedy scene in Episode 5 inside the red path, Kotonoha reveals to Sekai in a private conversation that she was planning to kill Makoto's new lover (who was actually Sekai) and herself with a knife, but backs off because Otome (the girl Kotonoha believed was the lover) was stronger and taller than her so she would've been easily subdued before she could reach Otome's neck with the knife.

* ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'': Volume one began its "Bright Lights, Big City" arc with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn obtaining an apartment in Metropolis by taking over one that was owned by a woman who casually walked away to hang herself over the man she loved rejecting her after she encountered the pair, with her nonchalant attitude towards taking her own life [[SuicideAsComedy treated as a morbid gag]].

* The main character of Creator/RiyokoIkeda's ''Manga/{{Claudine}}'', who shoots himself in the head when his third girlfriend [[SiblingTriangle leaves him for his older brother]].

* ''Literature/OneHundredYearsOfSolitude: Pietro Crespi falls in love with Amaranta, and kills himself after she rejects him.

* A now-infamous series of strips in the ''[[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse Mickey Mouse]]'' newspaper comic had Mickey attempting to commit suicide after Minnie left him for Mr. Slicker(Mortimer Mouse). After several [[HappilyFailedSuicide failed suicides]], Mickey decides he was a fool to consider suicide.

** In one of the [[BadEnd bad endings]], [[TheOjou Kotonoha]] [[DespairEventHorizon falls into such a despair]] after being rejected by [[TheCasanova Makoto]] in favor of her love rival [[GirlNextDoor Sekai]], that she throws herself off the top of the building Makoto lives in and dies in front of both of them. We later learn that the trauma drove them to break up a while later, [[TheMourningAfter and Makoto felt so guilty that he decided to never ever fall in love again]].

* ''LightNovel/WelcomeToTheNHK'': Misaki somehow knows an awful lot about Satou, and she is very obsessed about making sure that he always attends her counseling every night. After he rejects her romantic advances, she attempts suicide.

* This is the ''modus operandi'' of the Deathtalker in the ''Literature/{{Portals}}'' series.

* The Armor For Sleep song "Car Underwater" is about the protagonist of the album sitting in a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin car which he drove into the water]] thinking about the pain of losing his beloved.

* ''Film/{{Men}}'', part of the backstory is the protagonist, Harper, demanded a divorce from her emotionally abusive husband, James. James, in turn, threatened to kill himself if she went through with it, obviously as an attempt to dissuade her. If James' death was him deciding to make good on his threat, or really was just an accident is ultimately left ambiguous.
