Death By: Skull crushed --- Killed By: Gregor Clegane
Oberyn Martell, known as the Red Viper of Dorne, is a very passionate man who also has brilliant fighting skills.

It was The Mountain vs The Viper in an intense fight, with Tyrion's life on the line. The Viper's dexterity was incredible, and with The Mountain unable to land a fatal blow all fight, it was when he was on the verge of death that the fight completely turned on its head quicker than that smile left our faces.
"Elia Martell. I killed her children, then I raped her, then I smashed her head in like this." screamed Gregory has he exploded Oberyn's head with his hands.
What. WHAT HAS JUST HAPPENED? HOW HAS THIS HAPPENED!
The screams and Tyrion's face at the end of the fight sum up everyone's reaction perfectly, in the most intense, surprising, and without a shadow of doubt the most gruesome death in the show. Absolutely incredible.
