In addition:

Character: No one could remember his name.
Class: Soulknife 9
Adventure: Hall of Harsh Reflections
Cause: Lots o' lightning

He was played by an enormous powergamer, who wanted to swap classes to swordsage. I told him he couldn't just magically swap classes, and had to swap characters in some other way. Zyrxog brutally blasted him with about 80 metamagicked spells, problem solved. Now the only remaining member of the original group is the party wizard.

BONUS: Wizard's familiar.
Class: Fire-breathing dragonborn rat
Adventure: Hall of Harsh Reflections.
Cause: Deep fried

The wizards character was tied to a chair and being repeatedly blasted by Ixaxian, who had his wand of burning hands. The rat got caught in AoE, and burnt to a crisp. The wizard made it out with negative HP, but was Ok.

Character: Daln, Bringer of Light
Class: Cleric of Pelor 5
Adventure: Three Faces of Evil
Cause: Not having enough HP

Oh Daln. Played by the DM (me), he prefaced every single sentence with nothing but "By Pelor's Light..." and basically served as a HealTank. This didn't work out so hot with the Overgod, who brutally beat him to death. I let him live for the rest of the encounter (it was late at night and I was tired), which only ended when the PCs killed the Overgod by dropping the elevator on it as it scaled the shaft to pursue them while they fled. Best. Encounter. EVER.

Character: Samaki Broodsdotter
Class: Rogue 8
Adventure: Hall of Harsh Reflections
Cause: Killed by Self

Poor Samaki was the other DM played character. He was constantly abused by the rest of the party, who often ended up accidentally nearly killing him by catching him in AoE, or sending him into melee despite his woefully underpowered character. This ended when he was cut off in the mirror maze by a wall and attacked by a doppelganger version of himself. The party asked them a question to determine which one was real. The fake Samaki shrugged, and stabbed the real one through the chest, dropping him from about 17 to -17 in a single hit.
