Sadly, Grimes died in the series' season eight from the bite of a Walker, which is tragic considering his character development from a scared child to a more emotionally resilient teenager.

Of course, the actor is still alive, more specifically, Chandler Riggs, who co-stars along with Andrew Lincoln, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, and Norman Reedus, among many more.
