20 TV Characters Who Died In 2019
12. Mayor Adam West - Family Guy
Adam West was known primarily for his iconic campy turn as the Caped Crusader in the 1960s Batman television series, but another role of note was his character in Family Guy.
Playing a childish, anarchic version of himself, he presided over the town of Quahog as mayor, frequently involved in hijinks that put the rest of Quahog in great danger.
When the real West died in 2017, the fictional Mayor West was written out of the show and revealed to have died between seasons. In tribute to the late actor, the town's high school is renamed "Adam West High", and he even appears in ghost form to save Brian and Quagmire from a near-fatal bus accident in a touching scene for an otherwise rather vapid show.
