The Walking Dead Season 7: 8 Characters Who Will (Probably) Die Before The End

With the way the last episode ended, it looks like we might've already seen the death of Sasha. I mean, obviously that's not the case, because AMC have come out and released images of her at the Sanctuary, alive if not exactly well, but it's probably just delaying the inevitable at this stage.

One of the big reasons everyone expects Sasha to die is the fact the Sonequa Martin-Green has been cast in the lead role on Star Trek Discovery. While it's not inconceivable she can work on both, it does at least suggest there's a good chance of her departure.

On a more character level, the signs have been building that Sasha will indeed die, and not just because she ran into the Sanctuary. Negan will no doubt be a fan of that level of bravery, even if it is an attempt on his life she's making, but ultimately she's a character who won't break in the same Eugene has.

Even aside from the hints she's going to end up getting Holly's death from the comics, it appears that Sasha's story has come to a natural end, and it makes sense to kill her off now.
