20 Best Game Of Thrones Deaths (So Far)
16. Khal Drogo
Death By: Smothering --- Killed By: Daenerys Targaryen
Khal Drogo was a chieftain of the Dothraki people, and was one of the most prominent characters in Season 1.
He seemed like a character who'd be around for seasons to come - but this is Game of Thrones. He was a feared warrior and powerful warlord who marries Daenerys Targaryen, but Drogo falls unwell after a battle with a warrior, and a doctor leaves him in a vegetative state in an act of revenge.
Although Drogo had a very powerful presence, it was a somewhat contained death, but it was the circumstances that made it - an unlikely pairing falling in love with each other, with the initial marriage going ahead for an army. Daenerys ends Drogo's suffering by smothering him, and then burns his body - a boring way for a warrior like Drogo to die, but an all important one in the rise of Daenerys Targaryen.
