20 Most Important TV Deaths This Decade

1. Joffrey Baratheon - Game Of Thrones (Season 4, Episode 2)

The moment that every Game of Thrones fan had been hoping for ever since Ned Stark lost his head finally transpired on last week's episode, as the so-called Purple Wedding took place. Joffrey marries Margaery Tyrell earlier in the episode, and during their wedding feast, he begins to choke after drinking wine and eating cake, much to the surprise of most of the guests. He falls to the floor, unable to breathe, and points a finger at Tyrion, appearing to accuse him of poisoning him. Above is the final image of Joffrey's poisoned face, and though he didn't claw out chunks of his throat as in the source material, it still proved to be an extremely fitting, even satisfying end for one of the decade's most despicable TV characters. As for what the fallout of Joffrey's long-awaited demise will be? We'll just have to wait and see in the coming episodes... Did we miss any iconic TV deaths from the last 10 years?
