Game Of Thrones Actors Who Have Passed Away

Olenna Tyrell and Master Aemon from Game of Thrones

The Game of Thrones show had the whole world heavily invested in the show. You were weird if you weren’t watching it, from the moment the Season One started airing in 2011. In 2019, the show officially came to an end. Just like every great show that has millions of viewership, fans got attached to characters in the show even though one major rule about watching Game of Thrones was “Do not get attached to any character”.

Even though we tried, several character deaths in the movie still hurt so you can imagine the pain when these characters died, in real life. Some after the finale the show, others, while the show was still airing and for one, even before production.

Take a look:

Diana Rigg

She played the fiesty Olenna Tyrell, matriarch of House Tyrell. She passed away yesterday,September 10th after being diagnosed with Cancer in March this year.

Unfortunately, he suffered some injuries after he was attacked outside a bar and died before production.
