10 characters from The Walking Dead who died way too soon
By Adam Carlson
2. Sasha Williams

- Death: Episode 716
- Total run: 72 episodes
- Appeared in: 47 episodes
This may be a controversial entry into the list considering Sasha was part of five seasons of the show and was a big player in several storylines, but it still feels as though was a lot left to learn about her.
Sasha was introduced at the prison as part of a group of survivors that included her brother Tyreese. She outlasted her brother on the show thanks to her sharpshooting ability and great awareness but was captured by Negan and the Saviors.
Losing Abraham was tough for her, as was losing many of her family and friends along the way. In the end, she ended up sacrificing herself to be become a walker and give the survivors the element of surprise at the gates of Alexandria.
After watching Sasha struggle for so long, having her go out the way she did was crushing. It was easy to root for her to find happiness in the zombie apocalypse and looked like she could have had that at the Hilltop.
