TV Deaths That Sadly Happened Because The Actor Died

[@GrungeHQ]

Rest in peace to all of these actors. They did what they loved until the end.

[@Killdroid96]

I really feel for Barry frost. I am diagnosed bipolar and struggle with it every single day. You can’t get a break from it. I’ve tried committing suicide but failed and I’m glad. But not everyone gets their second chance. I never heard of him before this or watched any of his work. But I have a new found respect for this man. Rip Barry

[@shaechantell]

I also struggle with my illness may you continue to overcome what you may be going through❤❤

[@kimberlypearson2779]

I also deal with bipolar. It sucks to fight it every day of your life.

[@louisejohnson6057]

I'm so glad that you failed in your attempt. I suggest you look at Barry's work in Rizzoli and Isles, it's a very good show, with the two leads being just amazing.

[@MichaelScott69]

Keep fighting, pain is what makes you alive. Keep fighting, never ever ever give up even if you're at your lowest low.

I also have bi-polar anxiety and panic disorders. Just want you to know your not alone.

[@davidjackson2524]

What about Miguel Ferrer? The last thing he was in was NCIS LA.

[@ruthfurtado1027]

Sadly, Lee Thompson Young's suicide was played out on-screen several years before in the show Flash Forward when his character jumped from the roof of LA FBI Headquarters. It was a shocking plot twist and seeing it again after Young's suicide left me sobbing...

[@dikleined]

You forgot Mrs. Wolowitz from The big bang theory!

[@mattford6848]

Diana Klein Well to be fair we never actually saw her in any of the show episodes so maybe that's why she's not on here.

If I'm not mistaken "Bernie" or Bernadette actually did the voice of Mrs walotitz... Not sure how to spell the last name😅

[@JayKayEllEmm]

shir feldman815 Since I didn’t watch too much Glee, did they actually kill Finn, or just write him off of the show?

[@bubkusjones]

@@JayKayEllEmm He died. They never went into specifics into how on the show, as a way of saying people shouldn't focus on the fact he OD'd IRL and focus more on what he did in life.

[@JayKayEllEmm]

bubkusjones Well now that I know, I share your confusion.

[@nicelyput299]

I have not finished watching yet. I will now. Cory Monteith....well that was just the most beautiful and agonising tribute in season 5 of Glee. I am no fan of stuff like that. But the scene with his on-screen parents and his friends crying, that was real. It was fucking heartbreaking. Fuck this list for not including it

[@nicelyput299]

In the show where his mother said about having to go on being a parent without getting to have a child....wrenching

[@breezy9297]

You missed several such as John Ritter in 8 Simple Rules, Dolph Sweet from Gimme a Break and Zara Cully from The Jeffersons

Omg is frost really dead i can not believe it 😢😢Rip my dear boy u were a great actor 🙏🙏

[@PirateNikki]

Very well done

[@evilfingers4302]

It's not just Tv, unfortunate deaths also happens with movies, a good example is Fast & Furious "Paul Walker" he died during the making of Furious 7.

[@michaelpalmieri7335]

Don't forget about Vic Morrow and the two child actors who died while filming a scene from "The Twilight Zone: The Movie" (1983).

[@magusxxx]

And let's just ignore what Game of Death looked like when it was released. The movie Bruce Lee was making when he died.

[@johnny-becker]

I thought since I was watching a lot of Barney Miller episodes on KZbin that this video was suggested to me because Jack Soo (Det. Nick Yamana) died and they wrote his character as had died.

[@March_for_Aries]

Very old TV Show - The Barney Miller show wasn't the same when Jack Soo died (the Japanese actor who played Sergeant Nick Yemana).

[@rosemarymartinez5797]

So sad on learning of these talented people and their death. Rest in Peace.

[@samoyed81966]

Bea Benaderet who played hotel owner Kate of Petticoat Junction had passed away in 1968 and probably replaced by June Lockhart as series regular.

[@sandrasanders706]

Ann Sheridan was the first on Petticoat Junction,, she passed from lung cancer, then Bea Benadaert took her role..i think..

[@samoyed81966]

@@sandrasanders706 When I checked it out on Wikipedia. Ann Sheridan didn't play Kate Bradley. Bea Benaderet played Kate Bradley on Petticoat Junction from September 1963 until October 1968 when she passed away that year. Edgar Buchanan who played Uncle Joe took over as the show's main star while June Lockhart became one of the show's main regulars until Petticoat Junction ended on April 1970.

[@Lurker1979]

A older TV show, Road to Avonlea had to do this when Colleen Dewhurst suddenly died. Sad day for us who where fans of that show and the Anne of Green Gabeles.

[@jonathancaldwell6342]

Lurker1979 She was also Murphy Brown's mother whose character also died in that series when Colleen died.

[@JCPrivate165]

The death of Lee Thomas Young in Rizzoli and Isles was rather crushing. I never saw the show until this past summer and had no idea the actor had passed away. It was a bigger let down when the character of Frankie was bumped up to fill the gap. He just didn’t have it got me because I had come to view him as a buffoon, who was always whining. I never saw him as a serious detective. Although I continued to watch the show because of the Rizzoli-Isles relationship and the older detective, many of the other actors were less appealing. I couldn’t figure out why they killed off Dr. Isles’ female assistant Suzie do soon after Young’s departure. Overall, it was still a great show. I wish it were still airing!!

[@Boaz833]

I am shocked that John Ritter, one of the best TV actors ever, is not on this list. That is very insulting to his memory!!!!

[@satellite851]

Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds ARE NOT "TV DEATHS", DUH! Both were not currently on TV during their final days, nor did any of their past MOVIE characters die off as a result of their both unfortunate abrupt passing, so don't why you added those 2 iconic legends at all!

[@Buzzbar94]

Debbie Reynolds was still in TV roles before she died as was Carrie Fisher Debbie on Will and Grace Carrie on Family Guy.

[@satellite851]

I'll definitely give ya Family Guy's "Angela", but Will and Grace wasn't immediately on the air (or even remotely thought of yet for a reboot) in December 2016! Her "Bobbi Adler" was pretty much a done deal by that point, like most people thought of Will and Grace's originally successful 1998-2006 run. They HAD to kill her off mostly to pay tribute to the Actress herself (being a Gay Icon in her own right) over a year later! I guess I'm just going by really strict rules, of it doesn't count if it's a REBOOT, nearly ALL these multiple nonstop continual remake and reboot shows either have to pay tribute or recast or not cast at all and just kill off the character automatically if the show miraculously comes BACK on many many years/decades later after it all originally ended! But cheers, enjoyed your list ; )
