I have NEVER that he died from being shot in the head.
Can we have a source for this? The most common thing I have heard was that the baking neutralized the arsenic, and he died in the river.

I think it was a theory by some detectives at Scotland Yard, it was pretty much states that the British Secret Service may have been responsible for the death of Rasputin. There's a documentary about it made by BBC. However, this theory has not gained much acceptance from most historians. It's pretty weird to see TV Tropes talking about it as if it was proven fact.
Here's the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2004/09_september/19/rasputin.shtml
Took out some examples that don't fit the trope. This is about people who are exceptionally hard to kill and suffer what should be multiple fatal injuries before expiring. Being wounded in a lot of ways all at once, like the Celtic human sacrifices, don't count—who's to say those victims didn't die immediately? Being really lucky, like Hitler was, doesn't count. Being a car, like one example I removed, definitely shouldn't count. And the cyborgs from the Terminator movies are cyborgs, not people, and by definition should be hard to destroy.

By your logic, anything that isn't human/Human Alien like, oh, I dunno, vampires, don't fit the trope either. And therefore should be removed.
I just might reinstate some of the removals you made if I could be arsed to do so.
Should we put a blanket statement for Video Game Boss battles, and indeed Video Game Protagonists? Typically it takes dozens of strikes to take a boss down, with some attacks looking truly brutal, with them often surviving strikes that would kill standard enemies, and much the same can be said about the player character, while some are as vulnerable as you might expect many can be shot, stabbed, beaten quite badly before you finally run out of health.
