The Walking Dead: 50 Greatest Deaths So Far
10. Tyreese
The Episode: What's Happened and What's Going On
Despite Beths death happening only one episode before, the show followed it up with the unexpected demise of Tyreese, the shows gentle giant.
Lost in emotion to pictures of Noahs late siblings, Tyreeses guard fell down just long enough for him to be bitten, and despite having his infected arm severed, he passed away during the car ride back to get help, kicking off the second half of the fifth season with a staggering sense of melancholy.
9. Merle
The Episode: This Sorrowful Life
Over the course of the third season episode, Merles guilt over the lives hed taken for The Governor and his honest desire to make his brother happy led to him waging a one-man war against his former leader and other members of Woodbury.
Unfortunately, Merle was subdued, had his fingers bitten off, and was shot and left to turn by The Governor, only to be found as a walker and finished off by an emotionally devastated Daryl.
