How many times has Uncle Ben died in the history of Spider-Man being on film and TV?

And if that is the case, will Uncle Ben die yet again in the series? And that makes me wonder how many times Uncle Ben has died in the history of Spider-Man being on film and TV.
So how many times have viewers had to rewatch the death of Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben in the history of Spider-Man on the big and small screen?
Looking for answers that include animated films and TV shows as well as live-action films and TV shows.
