Carl Grimes is dead.
Videos by ComicBook.com
The Walking Dead‘s midseason premiere, “Honor”, sent the longtime survivor off with a tearful goodbye, having turned a gun on himself to prevent succumbing to a fatal walker bite.
18-year-old actor Chandler Riggs, who has been with the series since its pilot in 2010, admits news of his exit from the series took him by surprise — a sentiment shared by shell-shocked fans who are still coming to terms with the loss of yet another major Walking Dead cast member.

CARL??DESERVED??BETTER?? #TheWalkingDead
im very highly pissed off and sad that Carl Grimes is Dead! #TheWalkingDead RIP CARL GRIMES
— kelsey faulkner (@kxlseyfalk) February 26, 2018
I’m not even sad, I’m just pissed off. Carl deserved better in every way, especially at the end. His parents not with him? His goodbyes cut between scenes from the Kingdom? Ugh. So not right. Can we just retcon this whole season and start over? #TheWalkingDead
— Do I have to? (@applegrassy) February 26, 2018
There was literally no reason for Carl to die. It was purely for shock factor and that is a sign of terrible writing. #TheWalkingDead just gave a big “F*** You” to the comic, fans of the comic, @RobertKirkman , and @chandlerriggs himself.

Me hearing about Carl’s death on #TheWalkingDead … I’m glad I stopped watching this show after Negan arrived. Not worth the time getting wrapped up in characters when they just kill off everybody. ??♂️ pic.twitter.com/qHUQzV4b46
