10 Awesome Characters Who Deserved Better Death Scenes

9. Charlie Sheen

Died In: Two And A Half Men Back in 2011, Charlie Sheen caused the heads of Two and A Half Men some serious problems by just generally having a massive melt-down in front of everyone in the world, criticising show head Chuck Lorre and failing to make his way successfully through rehab at least twice. Eventually he was sacked, amidst claims that he felt he was underpaid at more than $1.2million per episode and replaced by Ashton Kutcher, before having an even more public melt-down involving tiger blood and claims he was from Mars or something and then eventually apologising to everyone involved in his former show. So, how did Lorre and co deal with their absent former star? Naturally, by running him over with a train off-screen in Paris, and having him return briefly as a ghost consigned to Hell and damned to live forever as a woman (Kathy Bates) with a pair of testicles. Now, Sheen probably did deserve to be kicked off the show for his behaviour, but Charlie didn't deserve to be killed off screen in such a manner - he was an anchor of that programme, and though Kutcher has proved to be a shrewd replacement - it would have been nice for a door to have been left open for a possible Charlie return.
