30 Greatest Ever Moments In The Walking Dead

29. The Death Of Lori Grimes

The Walking Dead Negan
AMC

A relatively early defining moment for the show, Lori Grimes' death comes as an absolute gut-punch, and remains one of the series' darkest demises to date.

With the prison overrun with walkers, Lori, Maggie and Carl seek refuge and attempt to keep the dead at bay whilst Lori goes into labour. Without medical supplies or Hershel's expertise, Maggie is forced to help Lori deliver, despite everyone knowing what's about to happen.

Her time limited, Lori gives a powerful speech to her young son about how brave he is, and dies delivering Judith to the world. Though Lori was far from a great character, this scene still hits like a ton of bricks, especially when Carl shoots her before she can reanimate, forever changing the young boy's life.
