Here's how John Bradley thinks Samwell Tarly should die on Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones has a history of unfortunate deaths of a lot of characters, and those deaths are usually pretty heart breaking. And seeing as how easily prone characters are to dying on the HBO fantasy drama, a lot of people make up scenarios and theories about how a certain character might meet his or her doom. Actor John Bradley, who plays Samwell Tarly on Game of Thrones, also seems to have a plan up his sleeve as to how his character should die on the show. During the Game of Thrones panel at the San Diego Comic Con this year, revealed that his character’s love of books might eventually lead to his ‘poetic’ death.

“If he was climbing up the bookshelf to get a particularly artistic book from the top shelf, and then gets all the way up there, severely underestimates his own weight, and then topples down,” Bradley said. “It’s like Battle of the Bastards with all the bodies, Sam trying to climb out from all of the books. It wasn’t the battle that killed him. It was the books that killed him.”

Though the idea of Sam dying under a pile of book is a bit funny, we’re sure that a lot of fans would be disappointed if he were to meet his death on Game of Thrones any time soon.
