21 Heartbreaking TV And Movie Deaths You're Probably Still Not Over

"Why Fred? Why a twin? It hurts so much to imagine George in that scene, hoping that his twin was still alive. Imagine the Weasleys at the Burrow, mourning over Fred. Picture George staring at Fred's empty bed trying to imagine Fred laying there. It breaks my heart every time I read or watch this death. I still cry today. Some deaths you just can't get over, and Fred's is one of them." – abucketihave

"It wasn't just the fact that the most beautiful, amazing character on the show – and half of the show's cutest couple – died, it was how. Watching it happen, slowly, knowing the circumstances...I feel sad thinking about it. I cried so hard about it I got dehydrated." – Nicky9

"She was strong and fierce and I can't believe she was killed by a stray bullet. It's absurd!" – a4149c3e45

"It's not actually the death, but the reaction from the other characters. The scene where Anne Hathaway is on the phone, lying about how he died, and she starts crying, breaks me. And then the scene where Heath Ledger puts the shirt back at the end destroys me every time." – Sam Stuart Arthur Walker, Facebook

"Over the course of four years, Buffy regularly faced evil and horror, yet the one thing she couldn't defeat was something completely natural. It breaks my heart every time, and I'm getting teary just thinking of it. And it just keeps getting sadder! Willow crying over not being able to handle growing up, Xander punching the wall, and poor Anya, who cannot grasp how Joyce is just gone because no one will explain it to her. Absolutely devastating." – laurenh86

"I still bawl like a baby at the end of The Notebook every time. It broke my heart because my grandmother also suffered from Alzheimer's. That thought never leaves me, so their passing always gets me right in the heart." – funkysammie

"Writing the episode to focus on who he was instead of how he died was absolutely beautiful. It gave the actors a place to show the truly real and raw emotions they were experiencing with the personal loss of their beloved castmate and friend. If I want a good cry, I watch that episode. Gets me every time." – Jordan Walker, Facebook

"He had just realised that he was in love with Liberty, it was her freaking birthday, it was death to the interracial love, and he was literally stabbed in the back. The biggest cliché of them all!" – Zari Helena Miller, Facebook

"It has been 12 years and I still don't know anyone who has seen Firefly and Serenity who is over his death. Devastating is the only word for it. He was just this perfectly flawed character. He was funny, vulnerable, ridiculous, loving, insecure, kind, and one of the most universally beloved characters I've ever come across." – Sarah H

"I loved him so much as a character and his story was cut off so abruptly in the finale of the season, after the birth of his child as well. He had so much he planned to do and it is tragic in every way. I'm always left in tears." – Larken

"He represented Riley's childhood dreams and imagination and it was so deep and upsetting to realise that, at some point, we've all lost that part of us." – sarahe43842ff2b

"There was so much about her death that hurt. She and Mark could've had a future, she was about to finish residency, she and Meredith had a good relationship. She had so much potential as a character, and her death scene had me in tears." – averagetwitteruser

"Let's be honest – Tara and Willow had the best, most stable relationship on Buffy, and when Tara was killed off it felt like a punch in the heart. The fact that she was shot BY ACCIDENT just makes it even worse. I will never get over it." – Ellie Bate

"It's not really a death, because the Doctor technically regenerates, but when David Tennant left I bawled for, like, three days." – gracefusani

"You know his death is coming, but watching him go through the emotional turmoil of seeing it coming, trying to prevent it, and then failing is absolutely gut-wrenching. I don't think I've ever cried so hard at a character's death before." – Samantha Hoover, Facebook
