The Walking Dead’s 10 Most Devastating Deaths

1) Glenn

Is Glenn’s shocking fate in the recent seventh season premiere the most devastating Walking Dead death ever? It could be argued that this dubious accolade applies to any of those on this list, but Glenn’s death is the one that’s still at the forefront of our minds, so he gets the top spot for now.

Much like Abraham’s demise, it hurts so much because the reason for it was so arbitrary. Even worse than Abraham’s, though, it could have been avoided. If Daryl hadn’t tried to go for Negan in retaliation for Abraham’s death, Negan would not have punished him by turning around and killing Glenn.

It’s also a sickeningly brutal death, as Negan bludgeons him in the head with Lucille – until his eye is left gruesomely protruding from its socket. The final kick in the teeth for the character’s fans are his final words his gives to his wife Maggie: “I will find you.”

We can’t say for sure who the next character The Walking Dead kills off will be, but whoever they are, experience tells us that their deaths will leave us traumatized all over again.
