Game Of Thrones Quiz: How'd They Die?

When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die... but how?

It's quite the understatement to describe Game of Thrones as a bit of a violent show.

With a death count longer than The Wall, viewers have long learned to prepare themselves for the potential death of a favourite with every passing episode.

Yet, amidst all this doom and gloom, it's fair to say that it's easy to become jaded to the bloodshed; particularly given the sheer number of characters, great and small, to have been given the axe over the years (or the sword, or the dagger, or the dragon...)

Indeed, throw a dart at the show's expansive list of characters. You'll likely hit one that you'll vaguely remember as having lived at one point, but noting that they haven't been around in a while. What happened to them? It'd be somewhat safe to say that they died a brutal death, justified or not.

So, with the shadow of the final season looming ever closer, see if you can place the grisly details of the manner in which each of these unfortunate souls met their bloody ends.
