A sad form of Real Life Writes the Plot: a character is written out of the show or even (and usually) Killed Off for Real because the actor has left not the show, but the mortal coil itself. In other words, the Grim Reaper himself arranges a (obviously long) bus trip. In these circumstances, don't expect the character to be Put on a Bus to Hell, but rather an episode directly (and often respectfully) dealing with the death and deceased. The inverse is Character Outlives Actor, when a character is taken out of a show, then the actor dies. Examples of The Character Died with Him include:

This often causes major changes in the cast dynamic. If the character was a big enough part of the show, it could be derailed. It's usually seen in Anime, Western Animation, and Live Action TV, but this can happen in film as well if the movie is a series (see Indiana Jones below). The inverse is Character Outlives Actor, when a character is taken out of a show, then the actor dies. This is a trope, as the event affects the narrative. Contrast Author Existence Failure which stops the narrative cold. However, outside of the narrative, it may prompt an episode or credits nod In Memoriam.
