In the 2001 film Bridget Jones's Diary, no characters die. The film concludes with Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger) and Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) reconciling in the snow. However, the franchise as a whole does include significant character deaths. Most notably, in the fourth film, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025), it is revealed that Mark Darcy died four years prior to the film's events after stepping on a landmine in Sudan while on a humanitarian mission. This plot point originated in Helen Fielding's 2013 novel of the same name. Additionally, the 2025 film reveals that Bridget's father, Colin Jones (played by Jim Broadbent), has also died. In the third film, Bridget Jones's Baby (2016), Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) was presumed dead in a plane crash, though a newspaper headline at the end of the film revealed he was found alive.
Okay, to the best of my recollection: No one dies in Bridget Jones's Diary (2001). The film is a romantic comedy and doesn't feature any character deaths. There are some moments of near-miss embarrassment and social awkwardness that might feel like a figurative death, but no actual deaths occur.
While the AI correctly identifies that no one dies in the 2001 film, the user's query is likely prompted by the 2025 film 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy', where the death of the male lead (Mark Darcy) is the central premise. He died off-screen four years prior to that film's events after stepping on a landmine in Sudan.
In the third film, Daniel Cleaver is initially reported dead in a plane crash, though a newspaper headline at the end reveals he survived.
The 2025 film 'Mad About the Boy' also reveals that Bridget's father, Colin Jones (played by Jim Broadbent), has passed away.
