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

Marvin Eriksen, Sr. from How I Met Your Mother

The abrupt death of Marshall’s (Jason Segel) father was made all the more poignant by some brilliant acting on behalf of Segel and Alyson Hannigan, who plays Segel's wife, Lily. On his way to share some good news, Marshall bumped into his wife, who tearfully revealed that his father was dead. In an ad-libbed moment of pure emotion, Marshall said, “I’m not ready for this.” If you didn’t cry, you have no soul.

Sarah Lynn from BoJack Horseman

BoJack Horseman is one of the tragically raw, honest, touching shows on television, especially in its portrayal of mental illness and addiction. At the end of Season 3, however, the series reached its darkest point. BoJack (Will Arnett) and his precocious former co-star Sarah Lynn (Kristen Schaal) desperately attempted to escape their lives with a bender to end all benders, but the spiral came to a screeching halt when Sarah Lynn overdosed at the planetarium in BoJack Horseman’s most melancholy scene to date.
