Characters who have died

List of characters that have passed away. Due to the cartoon-like nature of the Muppets, this list does not include seemingly fatal accidents (such as explosions or being eating) without other evidence of actual character death; nor does this list include death of performers or retirement of a character without onscreen evidence or confirmation of the character's death.


 * Billy Bones - Dies of a heart attack in Muppets Treasure Island after receiving the Black Spot.


 * Dead Tom - Dead Tom has always been dead, that's why he's called Dead Tom.


 * J. P. Grosse - In a deleted scene from It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, Kermit claims to have inherited the theater from J. P. Grosse, after his death.


 * Mr. Hooper - Died as a result of the passing of actor Will Lee, explained to Big Bird in Episode 1839.


 * Robert and Jacob Marley - The Marleys were dead to begin with...


 * Wicked Witch of the West - A trailer falls on her.


 * Wicked Witch of the West - She melts as a result of bath prepared with non-bottled water.
