Well to start with, you have the four Gospels. [:D]
Did you mean non-Christian sources? I searched for Jesus Non-Christian Sources and got good hits:
Bingo Thank You
Just mentioned
non-Christian sources...from Historian Point of Few these are secondary sources instead of "non-Christian sources" the only First Hand Historian Sources are from the Gospels.
Mt 28:11-15 also is a non-Christian source [;)]

actual historical accounts
You have your choice: define "actual historical account" in a manner that includes the Gospels or say that none exist.
If I understand Blair right she is looking for historical accounts for the death of Jesus not for the historical Jesus.
There aren't any (beyond the 4 gospels).
The closest you can get is references by Josephus ... one big reason Josephus survived in Christian circles, not jewish.
I'm responding to 'actual' historical ... not the discussers.
How about Tacitus and Paul

This too.
I'd assume that https://www.logos.com/product/36463/the-resurrection-of-jesus-a-new-historiographical-approach has some chapters on Jesus' death.
