20 TV Characters Who Died In 2019

20. Jim Hopper (Sort Of) - Stranger Things

By now we're all pretty convinced that Hawkins Police Chief Jim Hopper didn't actually die in his heroic sacrifice at the end of Stranger Things' 3rd season.

From the mid-credits scene in which 2 Russian soldiers refer to their American prisoner, through Murray Bauman's cryptic answer machine message, to visual clues in the season 4 teaser that was dropped shortly after season 3 aired, there's a wealth of evidence to suggest he'll be returning.

After a truly incongruous personality change between seasons 2 and 3 which turned him from capable police chief to shouty man-child, Hopper is eventually forced to sacrifice himself in order to close the gate to the Upside-Down.

Seemingly disintegrated, he is declared dead and hailed as a hero. However with twists and turns being the series' trademark, can we really trust what we've been told?
