Jurassic Park III
At the beginning of the film, Ben took Eric Kirby on a parasailing tour of Isla Sorna with Enrique Cardoso and his partner. During their flight, the boat was attacked, with Cardoso and his partner somehow being killed. Ben unclipped themselves from their parasailing line connecting them to the boat just before it crashed on several large rocks, and Ben and Eric were sent floating into the island. However, even with the perfect parasail, their rough landing in a tree left Ben to die from internal injuries (this is revealed in Jurassic Park Adventures: Survivor) because a real carnivore dinosaur could not have eaten him leaving Eric Kirby all alone. But it is likely that a mad group of Compsognathus (Procompsognathus in the books) could have climbed the tree and killed him.

When Dr. Grant, Billy, Udesky, Paul and Amanda find Eric's camera and Ben's corpse, Amanda didn't seem to be too concerned with his death and was more worried about Eric, her son.
