Top 10 Most Horrible Deaths in The Hunger Games

The Top Ten
Glimmer

Glimmer's death was slow and excruciatingly painful, as she was killed by tracker jackers when Katniss dropped a nest of them on the Careers.

Unlike when Clove called, no one came for Glimmer. It was gruesome, and nobody deserved to go out like that.

They all left her to die. Even Katniss had Peeta, and she hadn't gotten the worst. Nobody cared for her. She died alone due to pure bad luck.

If it had been Clove under the tree, the same would have happened, though perhaps there would have been more tears than for the gruesome, abandoned death of Glimmer.

Finnick Odair

Similar to Cato, though not really shown in the movies, the books state that he was being ripped apart by the mutts before Katniss used the holo.

Getting torn apart by mutts is about as gruesome as it gets, and then getting blown to bits isn't much better. Not to mention that he was just married, with an unborn child on the way. Finnick endured so much suffering, between both Hunger Games experiences, watching his mentor and motherly figure, Mags, die, knowing the woman he loved was suffering for months, and eventually the way he died: lizard mutts feasting on his flesh in the cold, dark sewers.

Cato

I always saw Cato's death as the most horrific, especially in the books, where it is explicitly described that he is ripped apart by wolf mutts for the entire night before eventually being mercy killed by Katniss. It was painful and long-lasting, making it the worst death in my opinion.

Cato's death was really horrible, as he was slowly eaten alive all night by mutts. Katniss killed him mercifully by shooting him and quickly putting him out of his misery.

He was ripped apart by the mutts in a slow and torturous manner until Katniss mercy-killed him. An awful way to die.

Primrose Everdeen
Mags

Yes, it was fast, but she was probably in so much pain before she died!

Cinna

He was killed right in front of Katniss. Imagine seeing your best friend die like that and then having to go and fight to stay alive for the second time! After watching him be smashed against the tube, he was hung from a lamp post. Come on, people, his death is sad!

Man, this guy was nice. Why? His sense in fashion wasn't bad! It was amazing!

Clove Clove Kentwell is a fictional character in the The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. She was portrayed by 19 year old Isabelle Fhurman in the film adaptation.

Clove was actually my favorite character in The Hunger Games, and I was really sad that she died. Not only that, but in the book it was a slow and painful death. If that was not bad enough, it was also sad because she died in Cato's arms.

In the film, it was her head and the cornucopia, and in the book, it was her head and a rock. Both were painful.

Her head was smashed in by a rock, and she was forced to stay conscious for at least six minutes.

Wiress

She was such an important character and one of my favorites. It was sad to see her die.

Rue

Her death is not horrible, but she was so young!

Messalla

Come on, guys, he melted like cheese in the sun. That's gruesome as heck.

The Contenders
District 8 Girl (74th Hunger Games)

It was Peeta and Cato's shared kill. She made a fire, so the Careers hunted her down. They tackled her, beat her up, and then she begged for mercy. So, Cato got his sword, tortured her, and stabbed her multiple times. But she did not die, and Katniss heard her moaning in pain. They left her, and a few hours later, they realized she was not dead. So they sent Peeta to finish her. Peeta went back, slashed her several times, and after he returned to the Careers, she died. It is very horrible. She was chopped up and left there to die in pain, and she was only 13.
