Even though The Simpsons primarily maintains the status quo, throughout the run of the series, several characters, both recurring and one-time, have died. Additionally, multiple characters have been jokingly killed off during the Treehouse of Horror episodes.

Deaths during the series

Before Season 1

Season 1

  • No deaths.

Season 2

  • Beatrice Simmons, died of a burst ventricle "Old Money", although Abraham Simpson says that it was actually a "broken heart", after he was unable to attend her birthday party .

Season 3

Season 4

Season 5

Season 6

  • Bleeding Gums Murphy, died in hospital from illness in "'Round Springfield".
  • SuperDude, the school gerbil, crushed by his water bottle in "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One)".
  • Dr. Marvin Monroe, It is unknown whether Marvin Monroe is actually dead. In "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)", the hospital Burns attends is called The Marvin Monroe Memorial Hospital, and since that, his gravestone has been seen. Most prominently, in The Simpsons 138th Episode Spectacular one of the trivia questions asked was "Which two popular characters have died in the past year?" With the answer being, "If you said Bleeding Gums Murphy and Dr. Marvin Monroe you were wrong, they were never popular," indicating he is dead. However, Marvin Monroe re-appeared ten years later in the episode "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife", saying that he has been "very sick". If his death had taken place, it is estimated to have happened some time during Season Six.
  • The Krusty Burglar or rather, his actor, Killed by Homer Simpson (while acting as Krusty the Clown) when he believed him to actually be stealing the burgers during a promotion of the new Krusty Burger (the one with Ketchup), thus resulting in the kids (and the announcer) being left mortified (it's hard to tell if he was killed or just simply KOed, but one of the kid's cries of "stop, sto-oo-op, he's already de-eaa-aad!" indicates that Homer's beatdown killed him.)

Season 7

Season 8

Season 9

Season 10

  • Mr. Pinchy, Homer Simpson's pet lobster, was accidentally cooked to death when the bath water he was in was too hot. An extremely upset Homer ate Mr. Pinchy later at dinner in "Lisa Gets an "A"".
  • Red Barclay, died in "Maximum Homerdrive" after a beef-eating contest. Dr. Hibbert, a partner of the stakehouse, says he died of beef poisoning, although it was "probably from some other restaurant".
  • Mother bird, Bart Simpson accidentally shots the bird with Nelson Muntz's BB gun. The gun had a crocked sight, which meant that despite the fact that Bart was aiming away from the bird, he still killed it. Bart had to look after her eggs, in "Bart the Mother".

Season 11

  • Maude Flanders, died in "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily" when she was knocked off a racetrack grandstand by t-shirts shot from cannons. [1]. She was killed off due to problems with her voice actress Maggie Roswell. Maude's death is considered to be the most show-changing death, and affected Ned Flanders in several episodes after the incident.
  • Cornelius Chapman, the only man in Springfield older than Mr. Burns (at 108 years old). He died onstage from a heart attack after a kiss on the cheek from Britney Spears. Fittingly enough, he was receiving an award for Springfield's Oldest Man in "The Mansion Family".

Season 12

  • Man having operation, died when a tennis ball landed in his open chest in "Tennis the Menace", after Dr. Hibbert decided to operate on him outside.

Season 13

  • Coltrane, a.k.a. Snowball IV, a white cat and the replacement of Snowball III, it died when it jumped out of the window to escape Lisa's music in "I, D'oh-Bot". It was replaced by a cat that looked exactly like Snowball II, which Lisa than names it "to save money on a new food bowl".
  • Mr. Teeny I, II and III, Krusty remarks that he hasn't been this sad since Mr Teeny III died in "Fraudcast News".
  • Presumably everyone within the Dayton Arms Hotel, when it was obliterated on screen (all the way to the basement) in "Catch 'Em If You Can".

Season 16

Season 17

  • Man In Grave, a man who was buried alive by Gravedigger Billy in "The Girl Who Slept Too Little".
  • Fred Knickey, Chief Wiggum's brother-in-law who was given euthanasia.

The Simpsons Movie

Treehouse of Horror deaths

Note: Treehouse of Horror deaths are kept separate due to the nature of Treehouse of Horror episodes. Treehouse of Horror episodes aren't continuous with the rest of the series, giving the writers the possibility of killing off important characters without having to create a replacement or write them out of the series (e.g. in Treehouse of Horror XV, Homer obliterates Springfield, but the series continues on.)
