This article provides a list of all Skyrim NPCs who die because of a scripted death at some point in the game. A scripted death is one where a game script forcibly kills the character, no matter what choice the player makes. Scripted deaths are usually caused by a quest. Essential NPCs are not immune to scripted deaths, though their essential status must be removed before the death script takes place.
