Whether Gothmog is the first to fall or not, I'm also against any balrog deaths prior to the Fall of Gondolin. I really like how waiting until then sets those deaths up as a "Big Deal" and also gives the reader/viewer a false hope that just maybe this will all turn out ok. (Spoiler Alert: It isn't.)Will have to find my copy of The Fall of Gondolin, but as the matter stands as of the Tolkien database, this is the case.
