10 TV Characters Who Died In 2020
1. Loy Cannon - Fargo
Fargo's expectation-defying fourth season seemed primed to conclude with gang leader Loy Cannon (Chris Rock) being one of the few main characters still left standing.
After surviving the season's focal gang war in tact and ecstatic to discover that his son Satchel (Rodney L. Jones III) wasn't dead after all, Loy wound up stabbed to death by outlaw Zelmare (Karen Aldridge) in revenge for him selling her and her partner Swanee (Kelsey Asbille) out, which led to Swanee's death.
It's a suddenly violent outcome for a character who seemed on the verge of finding contentedness away from a life of crime, and one which seemingly set Satchel on the path to become season two's hitman Mike Milligan (Bokeem Woodbine).
Invoking The Godfather by having Loy drop a bag of oranges as he got stabbed was a nice - if unsubtle - touch, too.
