You'll Never Recover from These Seriously Devastating TV Character Deaths

Dr. Amber Volakis from House

Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) failed to diagnose Amber (Anne Dudek) in time for suitable treatment due to a combination of a concussion, drugs, and a guilty conscience. Unfortunately, Amber passed away from multiple organ failure caused by amantadine poisoning, and her death caused serious waves in the hospital. House was forced to watch his best friend, Dr. Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard), pull the plug on Amber’s body, fully aware of just how much he’d let them down.
