Every Character Who Dies in GTA 5
Spoilers for the entire story, including the ending. Every named character whose fate the wiki records as deceased, ordered by how many missions they appear in, so the deaths that matter most sit at the top.
Characters whose fate depends on the ending you choose are listed as determinant on their own pages and are not here. Names link to a page where the character has one.
