Yes, Henry Burrell dies after he commits suicide in The Last of Us.

The Last of Us is an American post-apocalyptic TV series created by Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann for HBO. The show is inspired from the 2013 game of the same name which video game developer Naughty Dog developed. Season one of the series was released on January 15, 2023 and was a massive success amongst the gaming fans and other audience.

Starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey in lead roles, The Last of Us revolves around the story of a world that is twenty years into a pandemic caused by a mass fungal infection. This fungal infection leaves its host turning into a zombie-like creature that can bite and spread the infection. However, humanity has a chance at hope as smuggler Joel (played by Pedro Pascal) is tasked with escorting the immune teenager Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey) to a hospital so that the doctors can study her immunity to Cordyceps (the infection) and develop a cure.

Deemed one of the saddest deaths in the series, Henry Burrell shot himself to death after he had to kill his younger brother Sam who was infected with the Cordyceps brain infection. Speaking more about Henry’s death, while staying in the motel with Ellie and Joel, one morning, Henry woke up to Ellie’s scream and rushed to find his brother Sam (infected) attacking Ellie. Before Joel could kill Sam, Burrell took the gun from him and shot his own brother, saving Ellie from getting bitten.

The shock of shooting his own younger brother to death, was a huge blow for Henry mentally and without thinking much the character brought the gun towards his head. Despite Joel’s pleas to put the gun down, Burrell shot himself in the head, killing him instantly. Joel and Ellie buried Henry and Sam side by side outside the motel that morning.
