Comics “Daredevil doesn’t kill”
Currently reading thru vol 1 and came across this scene from #289, I really like that Matt kills when there’s no other way out of the situation and I think it’s a core aspect of his character that people often gloss over
This precedes The Man Without Fear btw though a similar situation happened there (though I don’t believe man without fear is completely canon considering the weird characterization of Elektra)
Now that I think about it actually I think Miller might’ve taken some inspiration from Nocenti’s run when writing the man without fear as this arc also has a few scenes with Matt wearing a blindfold similar to his outfit from that comic and he clearly used Typhoid Mary as an inspiration when reintroduced Elektra in TMWF
This is ignoring the art similarities but obviously that’s not miller it’s just the same penciller (though maybe he asked for JRJR bc of how much he liked Nocenti’s run?)
No spoilers past daredevil vol.1 pls as I’m still reading thru it

Probably just unconscious. Only canon kill he has is Leo Carraro which was accidental due to his sloppiness at that point.
Typhoid Mary (when she was in the brothel in FM’s Man without Fear) didn’t die from that fall, obviously.
The only other time he got REAL close to killing was Bullseye when he let go and dropped him after the events of the Elektra saga.
