Two questions:

Is this only for when somebody dies, or just in general when the dialogue and sound effects go quiet(er)? It's not entirely uncommon to show Heroic BSODs this way.

Does having a voiceover disqualify the example? Eulogies (or letters, or poems, or something else entirely) are sometimes read when all other sound has faded away (or is in the process of fading away).

Any time when there's a tragedy, some character loses it, etc. fits. Mere quietness isn't enough. Since it can have music, a eulogy probably doesn't disqualify it.

This sort of query can also fit in the Trope Talk forum.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

You're absolutely right; I'm a complete idiot.
