There's a dog in "Mold" that is seen barking outside the house. Since everything gets turned into mold, technically it's implied the dog did as well but it isn't shown or heard.

In "Soichi's Beloved Cat", the cat is grabbed by the neck with a noose (but gets away with no harm).

A cat passed in "Tomb Town" but the death is not actively shown, just the body. The dog in "Mold" is partially shown, but is too disfigured to tell.

Death not shown on screen in “Tomb Town” but the body of a cat hit by a car is shown and not moved due to the town’s customs.

The dog in "Mold" is presumed to be dead, as he also turns into 'mold'.

In reference to "Long Hair in the Attic", the character dies from a heart attack and is found dead. Just before he dies, another character mentions that he is sick from heart problems. It is not a seizure.

Soichi, the kid with the nails in his teeth, frequently has scenes where his teeth are mishap and seem to be missing. In "Layers of Terror", it is shown that Reimi's sister has multiple rows of (intact) teeth.

This is Junji Ito, after all. Extreme blood and gore, with some guts shown as well.

The statues in "Headless Statue" look very similar to mannequins, so just in case.

"The Strange Hikizuri Siblings" shows the larger sibling throw up ectoplasm. I believe there are several other instances of gagging, however.

Yes. In Tomb Town, a car hits a person who subsequently dies. In Layers of Fear, a car nearly hits a semi-truck and then crashes into the woods. Graphic injuries are depicted in Layers of Fear.
