You'll Never Recover from These Seriously Devastating TV Character Deaths

Matthew Crawley from Downton Abbey

It’s a travesty that a man like Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens) had to perish in such a violent and devastating way. The new father died in the midst of a terrible car accident mere hours after the birth of his firstborn child. Right after Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay), too? Seriously? Matthew deserved better.

Leslie Shay from Chicago Fire

Fans were utterly devastated when original cast member Leslie Shay (Lauren German) was killed off Chicago Fire. Leslie died in the line of duty, succumbing to injuries after the roof of a burning building collapsed on top of her during a rescue mission in Season 2. Leslie meant the world to everyone at Firehouse 51, especially Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Dawson (Monica Raymund), meaning that the aftermath of her death was extra hard to swallow.
