This season, the show’s 25th, “The  Simpsons”  is  killing off  a  major  character. The  show’s  executive  producer  Al  Jean  gave  a  vague  hint:  The  actor  playing  the  character  has  won  an  Emmy  —  but  nearly  everyone  on  the  cast  has  an  Emmy.

The last character to die on “The Simpsons” was Maude Flanders, who was killed by a t-shirt shot from a t-shirt cannon at the Springfield Raceway in the episode “Alone Again, Natura-Diddily” on February 13, 2000.

“The  Simpsons”  started  its  25th  season  on  Sunday, September 29, 2013.
