Hi Krieg.F, he gets killed in a total of eight of his films. The two you listed are ones I can always list. I can't think of the other titles but, one of the movies he did in the late 1920's also has him playing a bit part as a Corpse lying in state in a Coffin.
Another that comes to mind that he dies in is: The Fighting Seabees. His character is Wedge Donovan who is the owner of a construction company doing contract work for the Fed Govt. Also, Susan Hayward; is the love interest. Duke does not get killed until the very end when he takes a bulldozer and uses it to knock out some Japanese positions and he gets shot as he rides the 'dozer and it veers into a holding tank that containes hundreds or thousands of gallone of fuel. In ture, this fuel runs down the hillside and right into where the Japanese are attacking through and many of them get BBQed in the process.
William Frawley and Paul Fix both are in this movie.
If im not mistaken, I think Duke dies in the movie Pittsburg-which is about a steel tycoon. I think near the end he gets trapped in a mine and it collapses on him. I've never seen this one all the way through and the last time I saw this was on a Saturday evening on a PBS station some 30 years ago.
