Benton Wesley is found dead in Patricia Cornwell's novel Point of Origin. He was found in a grocery store burned beyond recognition and is only identifiable buy his Breitling watch that Kay Scarpetta gave him. His hands and ankles were burnt to the point of detachment, and handcuffs were found nearby, double locked, suggesting he was probably cuffed and burnt to death.

It was several books later, in Blow Fly, that we learned that Benton Wesley was not dead, but that his death had been faked and he has been living for several years in witness protection.
