Cause Of Death: Burnt to death by wildfire

While Cersei blowing up the Sept of Baelor with wildfire was a stunning moment, there was one casualty that dragged the moment down just a touch: Margaery Tyrell.

Throughout her time on the show, Margaery has been one of the shrewdest players of the game, capable of being the lady, the wife, the schemer, and whatever other role was necessary. She wasn't a particularly bad person either, though she was concerned with strengthening her own position and that of House Tyrell.

Her verbal wars with Cersei were a particular delight, while in Season 6 it became clear that she was playing a game with the High Sparrow. What exactly? Well, we'll never find out now she's dead, meaning that plotline was killed before being explored, which is a shame. Even more of a shame is that Margaery's time on the show was cut short, and killed in a way that, while spectacular, didn't really give her a final moment.
