Tabitha - The Sandman: Season One

The newly wed wife of Sam, Tabitha and her husband went abroad for their honeymoon. 

Taking adventage of the sun, she sat by the riverside, sunbathing in a lounger as she read a book. Noticing something was off, she is horrified to see Sam's drowned body being dragged to shore. She rushed over to his side, trying to help resusitate him, but it was too late; Sam was already dead. 

Later that night, as she dreamed, she saw Sam one final time, telling her his phone passcode so she could at the very least access the boarding passes travel back home. 

Sam - The Sandman: Season One

A newly wed husband travelling abroad on their honeymoon, Sam went out swimming in a lake while his wife, Tabitha, happily sunbathed and read a book. 

He did not survive, drowning in the water. His body was recovered by onlookers, who, with Tabitha's aid, did their best to resuscitate him, but they could not revive him. 

His soul was reaped by Death of the Endless. 

The Spirit of Sam - The Sandman: Season One

Drowning in a lake while on his honeymoon, Sam's spirit begged Death of the Endless to let him tell his wife, Tabitha, his phone's passcode so she could access their boarding passes and flight information. Unable to grant this request, Death reaped his soul to the Sunless Lands and the realms beyond.

Though she couldn't raise him from the dead, Death asked Dream to create a vision for Tabitha, allowing Sam to say his final goodbye and give her the codes.

The Spirit of Esmé - The Sandman

Electrocuted during an afternoon comedy set, Esmé's ghost was furious at the bar's management for leaving the mains to her microphone open, causing the fatal shock.

Surprised to see Death of the Endless, she quickly realises who she is, tearfully joking that she had achieved the ultimate nightmare of all comedians: "dying on stage." Lamenting that with a few more years, she could have made it big, Esmé is comforted by Death, who gently leads her to the Sunless Lands and the realms beyond.

Esmé - The Sandman

A struggling comedian living in Gotham City, Esmé played the bars and clubs during the lunchtime hours. It is slow work, and she does not get many laughs from the patrons, as they are too focused on their own lives, but it beats her main job working as a waitress and she enjoys it. 

During one of her routine sets, where she joked about Batman and Robin, Esmé's sweaty hands tripped the electrics on her microphone, causing a fatal electric shock.

Franklin - The Sandman

A teenager living in Manhattan, Franklin was playing football with his friends in Washington Square Park, when he spotted Dream of the Endless meeting his sister, Death. Distracted by her beauty, he accidentally sent the ball flying at her. Impressed by her reflexes, he invited her to join them in their game and then for a soda. Excited by her promise to see him again, he didn't question how she knew his name until she vanished.

Later that afternoon, after missing a pass, he chased after the ball as it rolled out into the road. He does not see the car until it is too late, killing him. 

His spirit is met by Death once more, who leads him to the Sunless Lands and his afterlife beyond. 

The Spirit of Franklin - The Sandman

After dying in a car accident, the Spirit of Franklin is greeted by Death of the Endless. 

Unaware of his passing and finding her cute, he wonders about the crowd gathered by the roadside. Death calmly tells him she has something to show him, leading him to the Sunless Lands and his afterlife.

The Mutants - Earth -52 - Batman: The Red Death

A Gotham street-gang known for their sadism, cruelty and violence, The Mutants, overran the streets, clashing with the G.C.P.D during the final days of their world. With law enforcement ill-equipped to deal with the sharp increase in crime, authorities prepared to blow the bridges, isolating the city and turning it into its own No-Mans Land. 

Gotham - Earth -52 - Batman: The Red Death

As the red skies appeared over the city, Gotham began to tear itself apart in fear, chaos and disorder. As hard as they tried, the G.C.P.D was unable to stem the increased hostile and criminal activity, leading to countless fatalities with no signs of stopping. 

Calling for an evacuation, authorities planned to destroy the bridges in and out of the city, trapping the rioters, looters, gangs and costumed criminals on the island. There they would fend for themselves in their own little No-Man's Land. 

However before the order could be carried out, The Red Death appeared and began killing every known costumed criminal he could find. Speeding through the city, he slaughtered, Scarecrow, Penguin, Man-Bat and Riddler, hoping his extreme methods of justice could bring order to Gotham. 

Nevertheless, Wayne could not stop the destruction of his world, killing everyone, save for himself, who was rescued by The Batman Who Laughs and his Dark Knights.
