The Walking Dead Actor ‘Scott Wilson’ Dies Of Complications From Leukemia Leaving Fans Heartbroken

While crew and fans are still reacting to some changes in “The Walking Dead”, the news of Scott Wilson’s death at the age of 76 has left a big hole to fill.

Scott Wilson who played the character of Hershel Greene appeared in three seasons of the series. He is fondly remembered and noted as the emotional core of the show because of his gentle characteristics.

Variety Magazine reported that he “died after a battle with cancer.” This conflicts against a TMZ news which confirmed that “he died due to complications from leukemia.”

Khary Payton one of the stars of the show also joined in the tribute to late Wilson. He remembered the deceased welcomed him with open arms the first time they met.

The news of Scott Wilson’s death came a few hours after Angela Kang the showrunner of the 9th season of The Walking Dead hinted about the return of some old characters including Hershel Greene.

This was made known in a tweet that drew negative reactions from fans.

While the followers of the show were expressing disapproval over the announcement which may have tampered with the suspense, the news of Wilson death drops right in the Twitter thread.
