Two dragons die. Both very graphically. In episode 7x06 a dragon is killed by a spear and crashes through ice, sinking to the bottom. He is later resurrected as a zombie only to be finally die in 8x03. He explodes into pieces.

In episode 8x04 a dragon is shot three times with the final shot through the neck. Lots of blood. He falls into the ocean, sinking to the bottom.

SPOILERS
The final dragon survives the series but is left alone without his mother or brothers.

One optional way of "winning" is by slaying a dragon called the Ender Dragon, however, she's evil and quite dangerous, so you don't need to feel guilty.

Technically a gargoyle, but appears to be a dragon. Second episode, extremely heart breaking as he is very similar to a dog in how he acts.

*mild spoilers* An antagonist dragon does die in a fire in this film, but they are a villian. A small dragon is seen being eaten whole by a large dragon. This movie mentions slaying dragons, but does not show dragons being intentionally slain (using swords, etc.)

There are many optional dragons that you can fight or avoid throughout the game, but one of the final bosses of the game is a dragon that you have to kill, and, depending on your game choices, you may have to fight another one, although you won't have to kill it. Iron Bull's romance questline also requires killing a dragon.

Among the Dragons killed is the big bad, the Archdemon, who is an elder god, corrupted by the Darkspawn taint.

Depending on player choices, the soul of this dragon may be preserved, rather than destroyed.
