Many experiences come into play when picking the top 20 deaths in Lost. The death might be shocking, or poignant, or a goodbye to a favorite character. Regardless of why the death makes the list, it doesn't mean the character will never be seen again. As we've learned with Lost dead doesn't mean gone. We may see the character in flashbacks or an alternate time line. Or, we may never see the character again. Whether a regular on the show still or never heard from again, here are the top 20 deaths in Lost.
