Characters who died far too early... or far too late.

Throughout its run, The Walking Dead was host to all manner of different characters, all brought together by a changed world that forced them to adapt and clash in often heartbreaking ways.
And whilst many of these characters were compelling - the gritty Rick Grimes, the villainous Negan and sword-swinging Michonne - not all of them left the series when they should have, with several prominent figures dying long before or long after their development had run its course.
Of course, The Walking Dead was not averse to killing its characters en masse, often in grueling and left-field ways, but that doesn't mean the writers were always on the ball about who to kill and - more importantly - why.
From characters just hitting their stride cut down before their prime, to those who stuck around long after viewers wanted and others who were written off half-heartedly due to behind-the-scenes feuds, here are 10 characters both good and bad who died at the wrong time.
This article will contain major spoilers about all eleven seasons of The Walking Dead, but not the recent slew of spin-offs.
