Alfred Pennyworth was the butler of Batman, who was the recipient of the Orpheus Pit after he was diagnosed with cancer. However, it only healed him for a week.

At some point, Alfred got cancer. As he was dying, Bruce took him to the Orpheus Pit, a Lazarus Pit that had its fluid mixed with Venom, which canceled out both substances' negative side effects. Though it initially seemed to work, and Alfred was rejuvenated, it became apparent after a week that the miracle was temporary. On the night he died, Alfred comforted Bruce and said how proud he was of him. Alfred passed away later that night.[1]
