The Walking Dead (2010) did this to several characters that also exist in the comics.
- Amy gets bitten and turns before her sister Andrea finally pits her out. It's nearly the same in the comics, except Andrea Mercy Kills her before she turns.
- Otis gets Devoured by the Horde thanks to being sacrificed by Shane in the show, instead of being bitten by walkers in the Prison Arc like in the comics.
- In the show, Dale Horvath gets Mercy Killed by Canon Foreigner Daryl Dixon after getting mauled by a walker. In the comics, it was Andrea who puts him down but due to getting bitten and having his remaining leg eaten by cannibals.
- In the show, Shane Walsh was fatally stabbed by Rick Grimes before the latter's son Carl puts down the former's reanimated corpse. In the comics, it was Carl who kills Shane and it wasn't until much later when Rick puts down his reanimated corpse.
- Patricia is Devoured by the Horde while getting out of the Greene farm in the show. In the comics, she dies via Boom, Headshot! during the conclusion of the Prison Arc.
- Lori Grimes suffers Death by Childbirth in the show during the beginning of the Prison Arc , whereas she and her baby were blown-off by a shotgun during said Arc's conclusion in the comics.
- In the show, Donna is bitten by a walker in her right arm and is Mercy Killed by Tyreese before reanimation. In the comics, she's bitten in the face first by a walker before being Devoured by the Horde.
- In the show, Ben was killed because he walks right in front of the Governor in a botched assassination by Canon Foreigner Merle Dixon. In the comics, Carl kills him. However, he's a Decomposite Character, and his Gender Flipped counterpart Lizzie Samuels dies Truer to the Text with the exception that it was Carol who did the job.
- While the cause of death is similar, Andrea dies differently in the mediums. In the show it happened in a much earlier timeline and it's because she's tied to a chair when an ally-turned walker bit her before committing Suicide by Cop using Rick's revolver before she herself turns. In the comics, she discovers she was bitten after fighting a walker horde during the Whisperers arc, and she actually turns before Rick puts her out for good with a knife.
- In the show, Allen was killed by the Governor because he did not approved of the latter being a Bad Boss. In the comics, he dies via walker bite infection. However, he's a Decomposite Character, and his other counterpart Ryan Samuels dies Truer to the Text but only in a later time.
- In the show, Caesar Martinez was betrayed by the Governor and gets thrown to a horde of walkers. In the comics, Rick Grimes runs him over and is then put down by Lilly Caul.
- In the show, the Governor brutally hacks Hershel Greene's head off before his reanimated head was put-out by Michonne for good. In the comics, the Governor just headshots him.
- In the show, the Governor was impaled by Michonne before Lilly Chambler fatally shoots him. In the comics, Lily Caul fatally shoots him before kicking his corpse to the walkers to be Devoured by the Horde.
- In the show, Tyreese dies because of massive blood loss and infection, first by walker bite then by an already late Life-or-Limb Decision. In the comics, he's the one who suffered the fate of Hershel's TV counterpart mentioned above.
- In the show, Holly was killed by one of the Wolves and is put down by Denise before reanimation. In the comics, she was killed by Negan after a botched assassination attempt and her walker form was put down by Rick after she bit Denise's arm.
- In the show, Nicholas committed suicide in a middle of a walker attack. In the comics, he was brutally hacked during the Saviors War and is put down by a Red Shirt before reanimation.
- In the show, Ron Anderson was Devoured by the Horde while attempting to leave Alexandria. The show made him a Decomposite Character consisting of two brothers; the younger brother Sam dies Truer to the Text, while the In Name Only older brother was killed by Michonne after holding both Rick and Carl at gunpoint following his mother and younger brother's deaths.
- In the show, Denise Cloyd dies via Moe Greene Special courtesy of Dwight. In the comics, she dies because of a walker bite and is then Mercy Killed by Michonne before reanimation.
- In the show, Abraham Ford dies after Negan repeatedly whacks his head with a barbwire-infused baseball bat. In the comics, he's the one who suffered the fate of Denise's TV counterpart mentioned above.
- While Glenn Rhee still dies after getting his head repeatedly whacked by Negan using a barbwire-infused baseball bat, the circumstances behind it are different in the mediums. In the show it happened as retaliation by Negan after Daryl Dixon retaliated against him for taunting Rosita Espinosa with Abraham's death mentioned above. In the comics, Glenn is simply Negan's chosen victim like Abraham's TV counterpart was.
- In the show, Dr. Emmett Carson was burned to death after being tossed by Negan in the Savior's furnace. In the comics, he was decapitated by Alpha along with eleven others.
- In the show, Olivia was shot in the face by Arat. In the comics, she was decapitated by Alpha along with the aforementioned Dr. Emmett Carson and ten others.
- Happened with Tyreese's respective female relatives in both mediums. In the show, his sister Sasha performs a Heroic Suicide that is similar to Holly's death from the comics mentioned above to officially kickstart the Saviors War. In the comics, his daughter Julie dies via botched Suicide Pact during the Prison Arc.
- Similar to Glenn, Alpha is still killed by Negan in the show but under slightly altered circumstances. In the show he makes an extra effort to trick her into accompanying him to a cabin in the middle of nowhere, while in the comics it happens much more spontaneously.
- In the show, Beta allows himself to be Devoured by the Horde after Daryl stabs him in the eyes. In the comics he's shot in the chest with a rifle by Aaron.
- In the comics, Luke and Rosita get decapitated by Alpha in the pike massacre scene. In the show, Luke gets bitten by walkers and dies due to blood loss and shock while Rosita gets bitten by a walker and succumbs to the infection.
