The Photo above has been circulating online which seemingly shows the gruesome death of Emily Kinney's character Beth Greene in an upcoming The Walking Dead Season 5 episode.

So are these photos proof that Beth Greene dies on The Walking Dead Season 5?

No. Just like celebrity death hoaxes often circulate on social media, Walking Dead death hoaxes are also very popular. For quite some time, a popular ongoing joke on social media has revolved around a photo showing what appears to be Daryl Dixon strung up with his guts being ripped out by zombies. However, the actual photo is of Norman Reedus appearing as another character in a science fiction film called Pandorum.

The same thing is now happening with Beth Greene. Emily Kinney appeared as a character named Mallory on an episode of "The Following" on FOX where her character got her throat slit during her brief appearance on the show.

So the photos are not of Beth Greene getting killed, but they are photos of another character being played by Emily Kinney getting killed.

Fans who believed the photo posted above were angry though as they thought one of the most appreciated characters on the show died.
