10 Awesome TV Characters Who Died Off Screen

5. Walt Emerson on Lost

Okay Lost fans, hold on to your comments for a second. He didn't die per se but according to a widely accepted theory among Lost fans, the people in the plane were all dying over the course of their stay on the island and ended up together in purgatory. But back to his disappearance, which I'm going to refer as his death, in terms of the island. Walt was a very important character (fabricating the polar bear from his mind and making birds fly into windows during flashbacks) then suddenly he and Michael take a motorboat off the island! We don't see him again until Locke visits him years later and then even later he makes plans to return to the island with Ben and Hurley, in the epilogue episode. So I say he died. And he was a super important character not to have a death scene like almost every other character on this show.
