# List of deaths of Kenny McCormick

Kenny McCormick, one of the characters from the animated series South Park, died in almost every episode in the first five seasons. After the episode "Kenny Dies", the boys try to find a new friend to take his place in "Professor Chaos" (in a parody of The Bachelor) after Butters takes the role of "Kenny", but is kicked out. This role is then given to Tweek.
This list contains every episode where Kenny himself has died, so some episodes like "Fat Camp" and "Make Love, Not Warcraft"" have been excluded from this list as these are fictional and impostor versions of Kenny.

## Comments

* In season 6, Kenny is not involved in the episodes because he is dead for the entire season. However, this season focuses on Kenny's soul, which takes possession of Eric Cartman for a while after he accidentally drinks Kenny's ashes in the episode "A Ladder To Heaven". In the last episode of season 6, Kenny suddenly shows up again. Since then, he dies less often than in the first five seasons.
* In the episode "The Biggest Douche in the Universe", Rob Schneider eats a piece of meat that Kenny's soul is currently in. In the trailer for the movie Rob Schneider is Kenny, Rob Schneider, dressed as Kenny, is impaled by a flagpole, like in "Weight Gain 4000". Kenny's soul dies, only in a different body.
* In seasons 10, 12 and from season 16 onwards, Kenny does not die. In the episode Make Love, Not Warcraft, Kenny's character dies in the game World of Warcraft, after which Stan and Kyle use their catchphrase even though Kenny is not actually dead.
* In total, Kenny has died 86 times. He has died in 83 separate episodes, along with his three deaths in The Coon.
