    TIL Ataturk did that. And generally who Chun Doo-hwan was. Not getting killed or permanently imprisoned was what I meant, and it makes sense that you can manage it if the country is now a democracy and people don’t hate you too much.

    It occurs to me that Romulus Augustulus died a natural death as far as is known. You might exclude it on the grounds that the reigns of power were handed pretty directly to Odoacer, but I think it would be an example because he could have been used in a restoration attempt - if anyone had wanted that.
