Negan established himself as the biggest Walking Dead villain of all time after killing Glenn and ruining Maggie’s life. Here, we’re going to look at when Glenn dies in TWD and how it plays out, both in the comics and on TV.

Glenn Rhee, portrayed by actor Steven Yeun, was one of the most popular survivors in The Walking Dead universe.

He was a vital member of the group of main actors on the TV show, known for his courage and determination. Glenn’s love story with Maggie Greene blossomed in the midst of the broken world, resulting in the birth of their son, Hershel.

Over the years, he had many close calls in clashes with walkers, but the end of his story came at the hands of another human.
