The Walking Dead: Who Dies on the Season Finale?

Warning: MEGA spoiler alert!

Just because we knew someone would die on The Walking Dead's season seven finale doesn't mean that it wasn't painful to watch, anyway. After a long, slow season of Rick getting his ducks in a row to attack Negan and the Saviors, the war is finally on — and the first casualty has been named.

After agreeing to help Negan (sort of), Sasha double-crosses him. He's transporting her over to the battlegrounds in a coffin, and she slips on her headphones to jam out to some Donny Hathaway. As she's settling in for the trip over, she pops in one of the poison pills Eugene had given her, effectively committing suicide.

When they arrive to confront Rick, Negan is strutting around talking about how he's put Sasha in the coffin but she's alive and healthy. He goes to open the coffin and BAM! Zombie Sasha comes tumbling out, tackling him to the ground. While her sacrifice doesn't immediately result in Negan's death (he's able to wrestle away from her), her sneak attack does buy Rick's people some time.

She's the only main character to bite it in the episode, but quite a few (unimportant) folks from both sides lose their lives in the first big battle between Rick and Negan. We'll have to wait until next season to find out who else will live to see the end of the war.
