20 Heart-Wrenching TV Deaths to Make You Burst into Tears
19. Lance Sweets (Bones)
The psychologist, who once wrote a book about Booth and Brennan, died when he got too involved with Booth’s conspiracy quagmire on Bones Season 10 Episode 1, “The Conspiracy in the Corpse.”
When Booth and Brennan answered a distress call in a parking garage, a fading Sweets said to Booth and Brennan:
“The world is a lot better than you think it is. It’s…”
His death was a shock for a season opener and just as heart-wrenching by the revelation earlier in the episode that Daisy and Lance had gotten back together, and Daisy was pregnant.
20. Lincoln (The 100)
The 100 is no stranger to character deaths, but Lincoln of Trikru’s was particularly upsetting.
Lincoln was a Grounder and a major character in The 100 Seasons 2 and 3. In Season 3, Lincoln was living with the Sky People in Arkadia because the Commander placed a kill order on his head.
Then Charles Pike became the new chancellor of the Sky People. He locked up Lincoln and the other Grounders because he saw them as enemies and ordered the execution of Sinclair, Kane, and Lincoln.
Kane and Sinclair escaped, but when Pike threatened to kill the other Grounders in lockup, Lincoln stayed behind. He was grotesquely executed Pike, and his body was left behind in a puddle of mud.
