My first-ever character death (1982) kinda set the tone: a long story of soap opera, drama and murder led to his being executed by his own party.
My second one (1983) was much more heroic: there's a Frost Giant on a roof where there's only room for one of us to get at it, so (as the party's only Fighter) they load me up with their best magic and out I go. I hurt the Giant badly (it's dying) before it sweeps me off the roof; I fall to my death. The Giant then stumbles and falls to its own death.
The party tried to revive this second guy but he failed the roll; and - I kid you not - the ramifications and fallout from this are still ongoing today (2019).
