Not sure if this counts, but going back to the comics, there was one Princess Amore who was turned to stone then shattered. Supposedly she's not dead, but we really didn't know that when it happened.

Have they already made a comic about Amores return? This was such a powerfull story.

AppleJack's parents are dead so your answer is yes.

Nope, and honestly outside of that one bit from the "Guardians of Harmony" comic Princess Amore hasn't been touched on since, which is a shame. I would think Radiant Hope and Sombra's journey to find them would be quite fascinating.

Unless they animate this in a show, this will be similar to EQG, a beta canon

[Snow Frostflame 3,567]

Yep... in season 2 during the Hearts and Hooves episode you see ponies gathered around at a funeral as they're singing "The Perfect Stallion". 

Interesting fact, in the previous episode you see a pony who looks like he is suffering from cancer... then you get an episode like this the next week.

 

 

Pretty sure if you look around you can find more examples of deceased poines.

I was actual hoping it would tie in with the show more, but they nearly made that impossible, so I am hoping on a reformed Sombra comic.

I'd kind of like a future GOH comic where amore was knight templar insane after years of being shattered ala Sentinel prime in transformers wanting to purge undesirables from cybertron.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,152]

All right fellows as much as I adore Amore and her role in the IDW Sombra story, let's keep this topic on track and save Amore for another.

[Hierok 11,829]

Alright. I think ponies do get killed, just not on the screen. I don't count Sombra as a ponie because he is an Umbrum. 

[Valeska 184]

When it comes to death in the MLP Universe a lot of it is implied, to spare the tears of the younger audience. I'm mainly referring to AJ's parents when I say this, but there must be other occurrences as well.

Its a show for young children. You and I both know the answer is and will forever be "no."

they did Killed off  king sombra twice in season 3 and in season 9 so it possable for death

@Deltroz

Altered thread’s title for grammar.

[Landi 597]

Yeah I'd assume ponies die off-screen. As for getting killed, there have been many attacks on Equestria, some of which due involve the unfortunate death of ponies. For example, there is a brutal scene in the comics where an entire city of pegasi has the love and emotion sucked out of them. Though not directly stated in the comic, it is implied that these ponies died because of this. So yeah, I'd say they sadly get killed too.

[Props Valroa 26,042]

They definitely do, but considering the tone of the show it was never seriously alluded to or shown.

[Evil Pink One 12,981]

I believe 2 ponies died on the series... 1 was on the comic book where the mane six and spike got sucked in.... And Chrysalis's time line... Where zacora is caputt

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,367]

We can assume the dead ones went to a different room to read newspapers and listen to British music.  

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

Not a pony, but there was that one monster in the Griffinstone episode who was confirmed to die when he fell into a chasm.

I think that's the one and only case of a character who died a violent death in the show. I know Sombra got blown up, but it's been shown before that he's capable of regenerating, so I don't think we can conclusively say he's dead.

Pony-eating yetis are mentioned in Dungeons and Discord and Applejack's parents are implied to be dead. Death is real in the show, it's just that this is a kid's show.

Yup, that was definitely interesting.  As for Sombra, he's a shadow. There's unlimited possibilities for how you could bring him back...again.  

[North Star 4,540]

@Sonic Shimmer oh yeah, that thing died implicitly. Ponies die all the time, just implicitly. Basically same rule for dying as for going to the toilet. It only happens implicitly in order to make a point about something else, like an excuse to say "Little Filly's Room" in Pinkie's case.

Anyway, only parental figures can die in kiddie films, like Frozen, because kids can't bond with them. Nothing kids can bond with should die,. When my niece was 4 we were doing charades and her mom pretended to 'die' - very bad idea. It really doesn't work for kids  

[Stardust 640]

yes but they can't show it for kids

[ILoveMLP206 16]

I believe they do, but we dont see it

[Savygriffs 5,022]

Considering Applejack's parents are dead, I'd assume so it's just never shown. Cause you know... kid's show and all that.
