Top 10 Saddest Deaths in Red Dead Redemption II
-
Arthur Morgan
Arthur Morgan is the central character and main protagonist of Red Dead Redemption 2. He is portrayed by Roger Clark. Arthur is a senior member of the Van der Linde gang and plays a critical role in the game's storyline, which is set in the late 19th-century American frontier.
His entire story. From being a cold and seemingly heartless killer to slowly seeing the error in his ways and trying to save as many people as he can.
Arthur Morgan dies in Red Dead Redemption 2 from tuberculosis, an illness he contracts during the game. The specific circumstances of his death depend on the player's honor level at the end of the game. In a high-honor playthrough, he dies peacefully from the disease on a mountaintop while watching the sunrise. In a low-honor playthrough, he is killed by Micah Bell after their fight.
-
Hosea Matthews
Hosea was the last person who deserved this. He just wanted to see everyone live a peaceful life. But he saw friends like Davey, Mac, Jenny, Sean, and Kieran die. Not to mention, he lost his wife, Betsy.
Hosea dies in Red Dead Redemption 2 when Pinkerton agent Edgar Ross shoots him during a botched bank robbery in Saint Denis. During the escape, Hosea is captured, and Ross shoots him to anger Dutch. This moment is part of the main story and cannot be prevented.
Milton holds Hosea hostage outside the bank, proclaiming to Dutch that he has given them enough chances. Milton then shoots Hosea in the chest, killing him, and says to Dutch that Hosea's death is their deal, angering both Dutch and Arthur.
-
Lenny Summers
Lenny dies in the "Banking, the Old American Art" mission during the Saint Denis bank robbery. While escaping with the gang on the rooftops, he is shot and killed by Pinkerton agents. His death is scripted and cannot be prevented by the player.
In Red Dead Redemption 2, Lenny Summers dies during a failed heist in Saint Denis. His death, caused by two Pinkerton agents, is inevitable and cannot be prevented by the player. This incident stands out as the only gang-related death that happens outside a cutscene in the game.
-
Eagle Flies
Eagle Flies dies from a gunshot wound to the abdomen after saving Arthur from soldiers during the escape from the Saint Denis warehouse. He is mortally wounded by Colonel Favours, who is then killed by Arthur. Eagle Flies is taken back to the reservation, where he dies in his father Rains Fall's arms from the injury.
Both of them ultimately die under tragic circumstances. Enepay shoots Nastas in the head, while Colonel Favours shoots Eagle Flies in the abdomen. He eventually succumbs to his wounds after he arrives at the Wapiti Reservation.
-
Susan Grimshaw
Susan Grimshaw dies from a gunshot wound to the stomach, fired by Micah Bell. In a moment of distraction, Micah seizes the opportunity to shoot her while she is focused on him, a traitor to the gang.
Grimshaw is shot and killed by Micah during the mission "Red Dead Redemption." The player can run to her body and loot her shotgun shells and a miracle tonic, though this is difficult due to the attacking Pinkerton agents. Looting Ms. Grimshaw also results in an Honor loss.
-
Molly O'Shea
Molly O'Shea dies in RDR2 when Susan Grimshaw shoots her with a shotgun after Molly drunkenly claims she was a snitch for Pinkerton. Grimshaw believes Molly betrayed the gang and caused the deaths of Lenny and Hosea, and she states that Molly "knew the rules" before pulling the trigger.
Before any more can be said, Susan Grimshaw shoots Molly in the stomach with a shotgun, killing her instantly. Grimshaw states that "she knew the rules" and subsequently orders Pearson and Bill Williamson to burn the body. Most of the gang members believed Molly got what she deserved.
-
Sean MacGuire
Sean dies in Chapter 3 of RDR2 during the mission "A Short Walk in a Pretty Town." While walking with Arthur, Bill, and Micah through the town of Rhodes, they are ambushed by the Gray family's hired guns.
Sean is killed instantly by a sniper's bullet to the head before the ambush fully erupts, leading to a large shootout with the remaining gang members.
You don't even have time to react to his death, because you're instantly thrown into a gunfight with the Grays. Then you have to go on a raid on Braithwaite Manor to get Jack's dumbass back, only to realize he wasn't there.

Kieran Duffy
After the gang relocates to Shady Belle, Kieran is captured by the O'Driscolls. He is tortured until they learn the Van der Linde gang's location. After giving them the information, he is decapitated, and his corpse is sent to Shady Belle on horseback.
He was tortured until they found out the Van der Linde gang's location. After he had told them everything, he was decapitated, and his corpse was sent to Shady Belle on horseback. His body was tied up in a way that displayed his decapitated head being held in his cupped hands.
-
Arthur's Horse
Arthur's main horse in Red Dead Redemption 2 dies during the final mission, shot by Pinkerton agents as he and the gang try to escape from Beaver Hollow. The specific horse Arthur is riding is less important than the fact that any horse he is bonded with will be with him for the final confrontation. While this is the horse's canonical death, it is possible to lose a horse at any time in the game to a variety of events such as accidents, gunfire, or glitches.
This is why I get a new horse at the start of Chapter 6. Chapter 5 is the worst chapter, by the way.

Colm O'Driscoll
Even though he was one of the big bads of the game, seeing the fear in his eyes still felt kind of sad.
-
?
Cain the Dog
It is heavily implied that Micah Bell killed Cain, the gang's dog. When Jack looks for the dog, Micah dismisses him by saying Cain "ran away" and "ain't coming back," accompanied by a menacing chuckle that suggests he is hiding the truth. While some players theorize Cain ran away because of the gang's atmosphere or was fed to the camp by Pearson, the evidence points most strongly to Micah.
I hate you Rockstar. You don't kill animals that you get close with.

Leopold Strauss
I didn't care for him much, but I felt a little sad when he died.
Leopold Strauss dies in custody after being captured by the Pinkertons.
