Since I see Category:Suicide victims is now a category (though personally I would just call it Category:Suicides), I've been thinking it may be a worthy idea to start categories for other kinds of character deaths:
 * Deaths in battle, with a fundamental sense of honor and some semblance of associated rules of war apply. This includes one-on-one battles in defense of another.  Complete Carnage, Victor Falco (2012 TV series), Oroku Nagi, Oroku Saki (Clone) (Mirage) and the Rat King (Mirage) are this.  Oroku Saki (Mirage) and Oroku Saki (IDW) are both this and a suicide.  Slash (IDW) is not this because battle was not the instrument of his death and he had no control over the circumstances of his death&mdash;just to some degree the location where it happened.
 * Murder victims, which are different from battlefield deaths in that they are, by definition, not remotely fair and target people when they can't defend themselves. This also includes ambush assassinations and the execution of helpless captives, regardless of whether they are thought to have deserved it.  Darius Dun (IDW), the Hamato Children, Hamato Yoshi (IDW), Krang (IDW), Lorqa, the Mighty Mutanimals (Archie), Patrick Miller, Raven Shadowheart (Mirage), Slash (IDW), Baxter Stockman (Mirage) and Tang Shen (IDW) are this.
 * Incidental deaths, whether by accident, negligence or natural causes&mdash;basically, any death that wasn't intended, even if it may have been the product of arrogance, thoughtlessness or stupidity. May need a better descriptive term than "incidental death."  Hamato Splinter (Alternate) (Mirage), Mrs. Jones (IDW) and Quanin are this.
