Kill Off
The killing off of a character is a device in fiction, whereby a character dies, but the story continues. The term, frequently applied to television, film, video game, literature, anime, manga and chronological series, often denotes an untimely or unexpected death motivated by factors beyond the storyline, often done for emotional effect and to advance through the story. In productions featuring actors, the unwillingness or inability of an actor to continue with the production for financial or other reasons (including illness, death, unavailability, or producers' unwillingness to retain an actor) may lead to that character being "killed off" or phased out from the storyline in another way, which ends their story arc. In some cases, they may or may not be mentioned at all. Examples Literature " The Final Problem", an 1893 story by Arthur Conan Doyle, ends with Sherlock Holmes plunging to his death at the Reichenbach Falls, in struggle with his arch enemy Professor Moriarty.
