Watching a crime procedural means having to accept that chances are, a character you’ve fallen in love with could very well be killed off. After all, these are characters in a dangerous line of work. But that doesn’t make it any easier — in the initial watch, rewatch, or even just remembering who a team has lost.

Scroll down as we take a look at the crime procedural deaths we just can’t forget.
