There is no death to speak of, since most things that would kill you usually end up generating a comic effect. At most when you "Fall Down" you'll reappear a short time later none the worse for wear.
There is a particularly grim and dark adventure that was written for Toon by some guy in the mid 90's, based on Who Framed Roger Rabbit. It's the ultimate in black comedy roleplaying.
