18 Shocking TV Deaths: The Horror! (PHOTOS)

In the Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 finale, a man comes into the Seattle Grace ER maimed beyond recognition — hit by an oncoming bus after rescuing a woman from its path.

She freaks out, we freaked out, and he flatlines.

We cried, just a little — and by a little we mean a lot.
