Welcome back to Humor Nation. The Vampire Diaries is a show set in a Universe where Supernatural creatures such as Vampires, Werewolves, Sirens, Witches, walk among the ordinary humans. There are some human characters who discover the presence of the Supernatural beings among them and are caught in the midst of this chaos. When such powerful beings surround you, danger and destruction also follows. So it’s not a surprise that numerous characters on the show met a tragic demise. But what separates The Vampire Diaries from various other shows is there’s always a possibility of returning back to the land of the living. Several main and supporting characters have died and been resurrected more than once. But there are certain characters whose demise was permanent.
Note– The first demise of the character when they transformed into a vampire isn’t counted and considered as a demise for the list.
