The Walking Dead has seen both Ezekiel (played by Khary Payton) and Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) suffer greatly after Alpha (Samantha Morton) brutally killed their adopted son Henry (Matt Lintz) in the season nine finale. Now it seems Ezekiel’s life could be in danger.

The latest instalment of The Walking Dead saw Ezekiel finally open up about how he had been feeling after Henry’s death.

The fourth episode of the series titled Silence The Whisperers saw him seek comfort in Michonne (Danai Gurira) after battling depression.

Things seemed to be going in the right direction for him after the pair shared a long awaited kiss.

However, it seems the character may not be able to bounce back from the damage done in the forest fire.
