Greys Anatomy': 10 years, 10 memorable deaths

Home Features Greys Anatomy': 10 years, 10 memorable deaths

Not everyone makes it out of Greys Anatomy unscathed. We rank the top 10 deaths over 10 years on Greys Anatomy.

Before they move on to Shonda Rhimes other network sensation, Scandal, the doctors and patients must exit the doors of Seattle Grace, or Grey Sloan Memorial, never to return. Unless, of course, a flashback demands it!

Here is a ranking of the 10 most memorable departures the show has seen over 10 years and 11 seasons.

The feisty red head from Mercy West survived the first round of cuts during the merger of Seattle Grace and Mercy West in season 5. Audiences did not have a lot of time with Reed, but her death was shocking nonetheless. It served as the first look at how merciless the loose gunman bent on finding Derek Shepherd truly was. Aside from a one night stand with Sloan and an unrequited crush on Karev, Charles Percy was the only one with eyes for the resident.

Is this cheating? Meredith technically died and viewers watched every heartbreaking scene of Derek Shepherd crying in the hallway as Cristina paced behind closed doors. We wanted to throw heating packs on her and tell her to walk away from the light. Denny was there to help guide her to the decision to keep breathing, but we werent spared the emotional turmoil that followed as fans. It was two episodes where at some moments, you just werent sure if Meredith, the namesake of the show, would make it to see the season 3 finale. As a fledgling show, with 57 episodes under its belt, it was too early to tell if the series would go on to see 11 seasons and well over 200 episodes.

Poor Charles not only lost any shot with Reed, but he also lost his life to the gunmans rampage. His death brought Greys Anatomy fans one of Baileys most emotional scenes of the series to date. As she drags Charles to the elevators to get him to the OR, she realizes that they are not running in the lockdown. Breaking down, she drags his head onto her lap and comforts him in his final moments of life.
