Edward Meechum (Nathan Darrow) was a long-standing fan favourite character due to his likable, upstanding personality and, well, the fact he once had a three-way with both Frank (Kevin Spacey) and Claire Underwood (Robin Wright).

In the most recent season, however, Meechum dies in the line of duty after disgraced journalist Lucas Goodwin (Sebastian Arcelus) attempts to assassinate Frank in revenge for killing Zoe Barnes (Kate Mara) way back in season two.

Meechum saved President Underwood by shoving him out of harm's way, but at the cost of his own life in a genuinely horrific moment considering how nice a guy he seemed.

Ultimately, though Meechum's just another body to add to the pile of those buried by Underwood's hand, directly or not.
