Film Noir from the Psycho Ward. • Femme Fatale with highest body count

I'm no scholar on film noir, but have seen quite a few. Recently I watched Too Late For Tears. The prototypical noir has the femme fatale leading the male protagonist to his doom. So the ratio is 1:1. Can anybody cite films where the body count is higher? I'll put the rest of my comments in a spoiler...and perhaps you might do the same?

OMG, in TLfT, Lizabeth Scott has a body count of three! There's her first husband (off screen), her second husband, then finally Dan Duryea. Duryea's small time crook isn't exactly a protagonist, but you do feel sorry for him at the end. When Scott finally arrives at his little apartment with the money, he's drunk and scruffy, and sort of realizing that he's been outclassed the entire time. Then she poisons him, lol. I'd like to think three victims is a record.
