* ''Film/PansLabyrinth'': Ofelia's mother's pregnancy starts to go wrong and it seems her soon-to-be little brother will be stillborn. In the last two-thirds of the film, most of the drama is provided by Ofelia and Vidal worrying about Carmen's quickly deteriorating health. The latter can only rely on countless medical check-ups, while Ofelia manages to get a magical solution by placing a mandrake under her mother's bed. It's all for naught, though, as Carmen ultimately dies, starting the final act.

On top of that, Achilles has given up life due to his lover Patroclus' death, which would make it a double case of this trope.

Dido lies down in the pyre but gets impaled by one of Aeneas' swords before she can even immolate herself. Anna rushes to her side and embraces her while everybody else mourns their dying queen.
