What's dead should stay dead.
– Dean Winchester, 2.04 Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things
You throw away your life because you've come to assume that it'll bounce right back into your lap. But the human soul is not a rubber ball.
Getting killed in Supernatural is almost when you know you've made it. It's like getting a Weird Al song about you. You're no-one in Supernatural until you've died.
In Supernatural, death is a rather impermanent state of being. Some, like Sam and Dean Winchester, come back to life. Other characters - such as Bobby, Jess, Mary and John Winchester, Jo, Ash, Pamela, and Rufus - remain dead but reappear in the show as ghosts on Earth or as souls in Heaven, or through flashbacks, Time Travel, or Alternate Universes.
Death was killed but the mantle passed to Billie the reaper.
Michael and Adam are trapped in Lucifer's Cage. Chuck turned out to be God.
The following beings have the power to resurrect the dead:
- God has shown the ability to resurrect deceased angels and even a town of people without much trouble. He also resurrected the demon Lilith despite being in a weakened state and the Cosmic Entity's claim that God has no power in the Empty.
- Amara was able to resurrect Mary Winchester after thirty-three years dead and when her body had been burned to nothing.
- Angels and Archangels
- Angels have shown that they are capable of resurrecting cremated remains, as seen with Adam Milligan in 5.18 Point of No Return.
- Death, the Horseman of the Apocalypse
- Billie, as both a Reaper and Death, has shown the ability to resurrect the dead. In particular, she was able to resurrect Jack Kline from the Empty.
- Demons can resurrect the dead within the context of making a deal (i.e. Sam in 2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two). It is unclear if the Crossroads Demon does the actual resurrecting or if a more powerful demon does it for them.
- Crowley claimed to have resurrected Sam and Samuel Campbell, pulling them from Lucifer's Cage and Heaven respectively, after he became the King of Hell. He lied about Sam, who was raised by Castiel. It is unclear if he raised Samuel Campbell who could have been raised by Castiel as they were in an alliance at the time and Castiel has the power to resurrect the dead.
This page features the deaths and reappearances of recurring characters on the show (that is, those who have appeared in two or more episodes).

Contents
Dean
Dean may have the distinction of being the most-killed character. He was killed approximately 100 times on the repeating Tuesday and subsequent Wednesday in 3.11 Mystery Spot by the Trickster, who also brings him back to life.
- Ways Dean is known to have died in the episode:
- Shot at the Mystery Spot
- Hit by a car
- Crushed by a falling desk
- Chokes on a sausage
- Slips in the shower
- Poisoned by a taco
- Electrocuted by his razor
- Accidentally killed with an axe by Sam
- Shot with an arrow by Doris the waitress
- Mauled by a golden retriever
- Shot by a robber
Dean was later killed by hellhounds in 3.16 No Rest for the Wicked when Lilith collected on the deal he had made with a Crossroads Demon in 2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two. Dean was brought back from Hell by Castiel in 4.01 Lazarus Rising.
In 4.15 Death Takes a Holiday, the boys ask Pamela Barnes to send their souls into the veil so they can speak to a ghost.
Future!Dean is killed by Lucifer in an alternate version of the future in 5.04 The End.
Dean is killed by hunters in 5.16 Dark Side of the Moon and brought back to life by Joshua. During this episode, Ash comments that when Sam and Dean have died before and been brought back, angels have erased their memories of Heaven. This may mean that they have died more times than they themselves are aware, and if so, no accurate death tally can be established for either brother.
During 6.11 Appointment in Samarra, Dean goes to an unlicensed doctor to have his heart stopped. Desperate to solve the issue of Sam's missing soul, Dean uses his time as a spirit to contact Tessa, and ends up making a deal with Death. After a full seven minutes of death, the doctor and his assistant are able to revive Dean.
In 9.23 Do You Believe in Miracles? Dean is killed by Metatron, one of the first angels and the scribe of God, when he is stabbed in the heart with an angel blade. Because he died while the Mark of Cain was in power, he is later resurrected as a demon.
In 11.17 Red Meat, Dean takes an overdose and dies so that he can beg Billie the reaper not to take Sam, who it turns out actually wasn't dead. Dr. Kessler is able to resuscitate him a few minutes later.
In 12.09 First Blood, Dean and Sam do a deal with Billie the reaper to kill them so they can escape prison. They are each dead for a short period.
In 13.05 Advanced Thanatology, Dean kills himself to speak to ghosts who are trapped in the veil. He encounters Billie the Reaper, who is now Death. She takes him to a place full of books and explains that all the books on the nearby shelves contain Dean's possible deaths, and what happens next depends on what he does. She says none of them say he dies today, though, and that she knows that he and Sam are important and have a job to do, so she lets him brings him back.
In 15.04 Atomic Monsters, Dean's neck is snapped by Sam with telekinesis in Sam's nightmare of a world where Sam gave into his demon blood addiction. God later reveals in 15.09 The Trap that this was an alternate reality Dean.
In 15.05 Proverbs 17:3, Dean is burned alive by Lucifer in Sam's nightmare. God later reveals in 15.09 The Trap that this was an alternate reality Dean.
Sam
Sam is second to Dean in number of deaths. He is killed by Jake Talley in 2.21 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part One and brought back to life when Dean makes a deal with a Crossroads Demon. His other known deaths are as follows:
- Killed by a wish from Hope Lynn Casey in 4.08 Wishful Thinking and brought back when Wes Mondale removes the coin from the Wishing Well.
- In 4.15 Death Takes a Holiday, the boys ask Pamela Barnes to send their souls into the veil so they can speak to a ghost.
- May have been killed by Zachariah, who removes his lungs in 5.01 Sympathy for the Devil, and resurrected by the same after Castiel intimidates him.
- Killed by Anna in 5.13 The Song Remains the Same and resurrected by Michael.
- Killed by hunters in 5.16 Dark Side of the Moon and brought back to life by Joshua.
- In 5.22 Swan Song Sam is trapped in Lucifer's Cage. He is bought back by unknown means in 6.01 Exile on Main St. In 6.07 Family Matters, Crowley takes credit for Sam's resurrection, but says he kept back his soul for bargaining purposes. This is a lie, as it is later revealed that Castiel raised Sam. Neither Castiel nor Crowley can restore Sam's soul. It is Death who eventually retrieves Sam's soul from the cage and returns it to his body.
In 8.19 Taxi Driver Sam is escorted by a reaper to Purgatory and then visits Hell to rescue Bobby's soul. He could technically be considered not living at these times.
In 11.17 Red Meat, Sam appears dead but he is not.
In 12.09 First Blood, Dean and Sam do a deal with Billie the reaper to kill them so they can escape prison. They are each dead for a short period.
In 13.21 Beat the Devil, Sam is killed by vampires in Apocalypse World and then resurrected by Lucifer.
John Winchester
Chronologically, John is first killed by Azazel in 4.03 In the Beginning, and is resurrected by Azazel after Mary makes a deal to allow the demon entry to her house in ten years.
He is killed by Azazel a second time in 2.01 In My Time of Dying, when he sells his soul to save Dean, who is dying.
Postmortem appearances:
- John reappears as a spirit when he escapes from Hell in 2.22 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part Two.
- John's meetings with Sam and Dean when they travel back in time in 4.03 In the Beginning and 5.13 The Song Remains the Same both occur after his death from their point of view.
- It's a fake-out, but the crocotta imitates the voice of John Winchester in 3.14 Long-Distance Call. It is, however, the voice of Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
- In 14.13 Lebanon, John is pulled from 2003 to 2019 when the Boys find a Baozhu which grants a person their heart's desire. John gets to spend a day with his boys and his wife, before he has to go back to 2003.
Mary Winchester
Mary is killed by Azazel in the 1.01 Pilot. Mary has since appeared on multiple occasions, either as a spirit, an illusion, or a younger version of herself in the past.
- Appears as a spirit in 1.09 Home.
- Appears in Dean's Wish Verse in 2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be.
- Appears in a vision to Sam created by Azazel in 2.21 All Hell Breaks Loose: Part One.
- Meets Dean when he travels back in time in 4.03 In the Beginning.
- Appears as a hallucination to Sam as he detoxes from Demon Blood in 4.21 When the Levee Breaks.
- Meets Sam and Dean when they travel back in time in 5.13 The Song Remains the Same.
- Appears in Dean's childhood memory in Heaven during 5.16 Dark Side of the Moon. In the same episode, Zachariah torments the boys in Heaven by saying he's enjoying his sexual relationship with their mother, although this is most likely a fake Mary Winchester created by Zachariah in order to manipulate them.
- Appears as a face of Eve in 6.19 Mommy Dearest. Eve takes on Mary's form while talking to Sam and Dean.
- Bought back to life by Amara in 11.23 Alpha and Omega
Jessica Moore
Jess is Sam's girlfriend, and her death occurs in the 1.01 Pilot as ordered by Azazel. Jess subsequently:
- Appears as a vision to Sam in 1.05 Bloody Mary.
- Appears in Dean's Wish Verse in 2.20 What Is and What Should Never Be.
- Appears as a vision created by Lucifer for Sam in 5.03 Free to Be You and Me.
Castiel
Castiel is killed by Raphael after he helps Dean escape from Zachariah in 4.22 Lucifer Rising. At that time, the force that resurrected him was unknown. In 5.16 Dark Side of the Moon, it is confirmed that it was God.
When Zachariah transports Dean to a version of the future in 5.04 The End, Future!Castiel is presumed to have been killed by demons near the end of the episode during Future!Dean's attempt to kill Lucifer.
Castiel is also killed by Lucifer after he Molotovs Michael with Holy Fire in 5.22 Swan Song. He is brought back "new and improved" by God after Lucifer's defeat. It is worth noting that when killed by both Raphael and Lucifer, Castiel "exploded. Like a water balloon of chunky soup."
When Castiel takes in the souls of Purgatory, he quickly begins to deteriorate. With Sam and Dean's help, he manages to send the souls back, but other creatures from Purgatory, the Leviathans, are also inside him. They take over his body and declare that Castiel is dead before walking his vessel into a reservoir where it disappears under the water, seemingly exploding and releasing the Leviathans. Dean finds Castiel's Trench Coat washed up on the shore and takes it with him.
Castiel is later found by Daphne Allen, wet and naked, with no memory of who he is. She claims that God led her to him and takes him home. Using the site bouncingbabynames.com, she helps him choose the name Emmanuel for him. They later marry, and she supports his work as a healer until Dean turns up seeking his help.
After regaining his memory and taking on Sam's insanity, Castiel tells Dean "It's a punishment resurrection. It's worse every time."
In 9.03 I'm No Angel Castiel is killed by the Reaper April Kelly. He is later resurrected by Gadreel.
Castiel is once again killed by Lucifer in 12.23 All Along the Watchtower. At the end of 13.03 Patience he is awakened by Jack Kline in the Empty and 13.04 The Big Empty, he is revived by the Cosmic Entity. Despite being resurrected by the Cosmic Entity, Castiel later attributes his resurrection to Jack for an unknown reason despite Jack having only woken him up in the Empty.
Bobby Singer
Bobby is apparently killed by people infected by the Croatoan virus in the alternate future in 5.04 The End.
He first dies in reality when his neck is snapped by Lucifer in 5.22 Swan Song, but he is later resurrected by Castiel.
After being shot in 7.09 How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters by Dick Roman, he enters a coma and then dies in 7.10 Death's Door. However, Bobby chooses not to cross over, and stays on Earth as a ghost.
Bobby eventually becomes consumed by rage toward Dick Roman and starts becoming a vengeful spirit, so at his own request, Sam and Dean burn the hip flask he is attached to and dispatch him.
Bobby's soul returns in 8.19 Taxi Driver where Sam travels into Hell to rescue him as part of the second trial. Despite being little more than a ghost, Bobby seems to be solid, as he is able to interact with Sam and Ruby's Knife with no issues. With the help of Benny Lafitte, Sam gets out of Purgatory with Bobby's soul in his arm, and thanks to Naomi stopping Crowley, his soul is released into Heaven where it belongs. However, Bobby expresses interest in being resurrected again if Sam and Dean find a way.
In 10.17 Inside Man Sam and Dean contact him in Heaven to help free Metatron.
Bobby also appears as part of Sam's subconscious in 9.01 I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here, and in a flashback with Rufus in 11.16 Safe House.
A version of Bobby exists in Apocalypse World.
Crowley
Crowley appears to die in 6.10 Caged Heat when Castiel incinerates his bones, but reappears alive in 6.19 Mommy Dearest. He dies in 12.23 All Along the Watchtower when he stabs himself with an angel blade, sacrificing his life to imprison Lucifer in Apocalypse World.
The Impala
The Impala has had her own brushes with death. In 1.22 Devil's Trap, the Impala is crushed by a semi-truck being driven by a demon. Bobby refers to the Impala as having been totaled, but Dean is able to repair her. The Impala is also shown destroyed in the alternate future of 5.04 The End. The Impala is damaged in 6.14 Mannequin 3: The Reckoning, and Dean is seen repairing it at the end of the episode. It is later overturned by a cloud of demons in 6.22 The Man Who Knew Too Much, and left upside down with all its windows blown out. Dean straightens her body, fixes the windows, and repaints her in 7.01 Meet the New Boss.
Samuel Campbell
Samuel is possessed and killed by Azazel in 1973 in 4.03 In the Beginning, and later resurrected by Crowley sometime prior to 6.01 Exile on Main St. (nearly 40 years later). Sam kills him in 6.16 ...And Then There Were None while Samuel is possessed by the Khan Worm.
Billie
Billie the reaper is killed by Castiel to prevent her from collecting on the deal she made with Sam and Dean which would've cost one of them their lives. She is reborn as Death.
Lucifer
Lucifer is finally killed by Dean with the archangel blade in 13.23 Let the Good Times Roll while Dean is acting as a vessel for the Apocalypse World Michael. However, he is awakened in the Empty by Nick's prayer in 14.07 Unhuman Nature. Nick performs a spell to resurrect Lucifer in 14.17 Game Night, successfully pulling the archangel to Earth. However, they are interrupted by Jack Kline who kills Nick and sends Lucifer back to the Empty before he can be fully revived.
Nick
Lucifer's primary vessel Nick is apparently burned out by the archangel's possession over the course of a year from 5.01 Sympathy for the Devil to 5.22 Swan Song. He is seen lying, apparently dead, on the ground after Lucifer possesses Sam. However, in 14.01 Stranger in a Strange Land, Nick is revealed to be alive following the death of Lucifer. It is left unclear if he was actually dead after Lucifer left him or if Crowley resurrected Nick when he restored his body to act as Lucifer's vessel again prior to 12.08 LOTUS and 12.13 Family Feud. Nick is later killed by Jack Kline in 14.17 Game Night for trying to resurrect Lucifer.
Rowena
The witch mother of Crowley. She has suffered multiple apparently permanent demises on the show.
- Lucifer snapped her neck in 11.10 The Devil in the Details to prevent Rowena from sending him back to the Cage. After being believed gone for some time, she is revealed in 11.18 Hell's Angel to have been resurrected by a Resurrection Charm hidden in her own body.
- Lucifer crushed Rowena's head and burned her body in 12.23 All Along the Watchtower in an effort to prevent her from being resurrected again. Multiple characters believe that Rowena is truly gone after this, though Arthur Ketch suggests that Rowena survived in 13.07 War of the Worlds. In 13.12 Various & Sundry Villains, Rowena is revealed to have indeed been resurrected again, though the damage she suffered required a long period of time to recover.
- In 15.03 The Rupture, Rowena decides to sacrifice herself to use a spell from the Book of the Damned to send all of the Hell Ghosts back. To accomplish this, she cuts out her last Resurrection Charm and has Sam fatally stab her before Rowena casts herself into Hell. As Rowena was fated to die at Sam's hands, this was believed to be the final end of her.
- In 15.08 Our Father, Who Aren't in Heaven, its revealed that while Rowena is in fact dead, she has managed to become the new Queen of Hell following her permanent demise. As a result, Rowena appears once again after her believed final end to help the Winchesters and Castiel.
Deaths of Other Recurring Characters
