When Variety asked Coleman about Tyreese's death in 2015, the actor acknowledged the common fan sentiment that the TV version of the character was on "borrowed time" due to his early death in the comics: "I'm such a seasoned vet at this, I'm never not in a place of 'It's gonna come one day,'" Coleman explained. Coleman also mentioned that Daryl (Norman Reedus) was a TV-only "Walking Dead" character who took on a lot of Tyreese's role from the comics, which limited what the show could and couldn't do with Tyreese. Still, I do appreciate the latter version's death for how it underlines a central lesson in the series: Anyone really can die at any moment, even if there's no big war going on.
