Lots of lists of the "most shocking" or "best" movie deaths, but I'm wondering what was the first movie death you remember watching that came as a surprise/shock? Might get some interesting/random responses.

Mine is from The Poseidon Adventure. My parents liked this movie, I remember watching it around age 9. Up until then all the movie deaths I remember were kind of expected (bogeyman chasing them) or just bad guys. Gene Hackman (I guess he was more of an antihero archetype) being the main character and dying so near the end of both the movie and their quest totally came as a shock and gutted me as well.
