====== Death ======

**Death** is the end of life, the irreversible cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. The death of a human being can occur in various ways – like homicide, suicide, health issues, old age – and all of this has occurred in the 10+ year lifespan of //[[ocatc]]//. [[tim]] and [[gregg]] both have, allegedly, caused deaths, with Tim once having been put [[trial|to trial]] over causing the deaths of 20 festival attenders, the [[electricsun20]].[(fn:mistrial>Tim was acquitted for the death of one person and a mistrial was declared for the remaining 19, meaning he was never declared guilty.)] Tim has lost several members of his extended family over the years, with [[tch|his son]], [[matt|step-son]], and [[gamato|adopted father]] all having died.

As of season 16, the //On Cinema// death count is at <wrap todo>###</wrap>. The following list goes into further detail.

==== Tom Cruise Heidecker Jr. ====
//Full article: [[tch]]//

Tom Cruise Heidecker Jr. was the son of Tim and [[ayaka]], born in late 2014 during [[season5|season 5]] of the show. He passed away just over a year later, between [[s07e09|season 7 episode 9]] and [[s07e10|season 7 episode 10]], the latter episode being dedicated to his memory.

Tom had suffered various health issues in his short life, worsened by Tim refusing to allow credentialed doctors to treat Tom, instead relying on [[drsan]] for holistic alternative health treatments. The exact nature of what killed him was unclear, but Dr. San was claimed to have "tried everything" to rescue him, foraging as many herbs as they could and using magnets to “pull the iron in his blood back into alignment".

Tom has been revived by Tim as a virtual hologram twice, first in the [[oscar4|4th Oscar Special]] and again in the [[oscar7|7th Oscar Special]].

==== Tom Chaplin ====
//Full article: [[tom]]//

Tom Chaplin was the founder of [[chaplins]], a restaurant chain that has appeared frequently in various forms in the [[oscarspecials]]. However, by the time Tom first appeared in the [[oscar7|7th Oscar Special]], he had been forced out of the company and started a new catering company, [[foodmans]], which catered the event / wedding ceremony.

Gregg entered the 7th Oscar Special that night with his [[mobilevfa]], a car loaded with VHS tapes and movie memorabilia, and left it running all night. This eventually lead to the entire studio to lose consciousness from carbon monoxide poisoning. Everyone in the studio remained unconscious for around 8 minutes, until [[axiom]] arrived and opened some studio doors. Had Axiom arrived later (or not at all), the death count could have been much higher, but Tom was one of two confirmed deaths.
