Death In Disney Comics?

Two examples of death come to my mind: there is the story 'Paperino e il misterioso Mister Moster' - Donald contre Mister Moster 1955, where the explosion of the house at the end implies the death of the mad scientist Mister Moster, more important the death of Scrooge in 'Paperino anno 2001' 'Donald De Picsou en l'an 2001'; i don't think death is only forbidden in the intention of not schocking the young readers, but also because death introduces a time dimension in the lives of the characters, an historical approach of their lives which doesn't normally exist in the Donald and Mickey universes; so you'll have more chances to encounter some scenes of death in the stories of authors who have, in general, a more biographical approach of the characters.
