This page groups figures by how their own tradition says they died. Wikipedia defines a martyr as "someone who suffers persecution and death for advocating, renouncing, or refusing to renounce or advocate, a religious belief or other cause as demanded by an external party." Browsing by manner of death lets a visitor find every figure remembered for dying the same way.
