The Walking Dead: 50 Greatest Deaths So Far

50. Hershel

By the show's fourth season, Hershel had become an intrinsic piece of the show and the lives of its characters.

His beheading at the hands of The Governor after risking his own life to keep hope alive during the illness that ravaged the prison was easily the most heartbreaking and affecting deaths the show has had yet, with the beloved character's absence still being felt today.
