I like the little bugger, seems like a sweet kid.  Assuming the prophecy is correct how does he end up dead?   Childhood illness?  Murder?

[Apple Martini]

1. The Tyrells kill him in revenge when Margaery is executed.

2. UnGregor accidentally kills him (think of the stable boy when Gregor and Oberyn fought) during Cersei's trial.

3. Cersei herself kills him in a moment of supreme mental instability.

[The Last Direwolf]

Either....
a) the Tyrells murder him if they make a coup for power following the aftermath of Kevan's assassination.
b ) One of his kittens mauls him to death. Oh, how I would laugh!
c) The Faith somehow decides he is not suitable and kills him.

[Lan the Clever]

The Faith learns of his incestuous upbringing and has him killed.

[Teal'c]

I think it will be Cersei. She had the headsman on retainer at the Battle of Blackwater. If Maegor's keep fell, she was not going to be taken alive.

[Kantor]

Almost certainly murder. He's a king, and a member of a rapidly falling house. Candidates:

1) Jaime, out of disgust or to get revenge on Cersei.
2) Cersei, because it's the sort of idiotic thing she does on a regular basis.
3) Margaery Tyrell, to gain absolute power.

[Jamie Lannister]

Jaqen H'ghar kills him, when he and "No One" are conscripted by the FM (at the behest of the Iron Bank) to take down the false Baratheon king. Since Arya can't bring herself to do in the innocent boy.

I don't think she would murder him herself, or would be comfortable with the knowledge that someone else was going to. Olenna on the other hand has at least had a hand in the assassination of another king, why not this one?

And the people saying Cersei might murder him... Why? All she does is to ensure her children are safe and powerful.

[Awesome Oberyn Martell]

I think it'll be Ser Robert Strong in a mishap, inciting more paranoia in Cersei.

I thought that was going to happen, especially when Jon remarked on the Iron Bank's slightly unforgiving practises.

Arya wouldn't be offered it as she knows Tommen. Jaqen is possible on the other hand.

Quite possibly to prevent him from being captured by somebody else. Cersei is possessive like that. Much more satisfying would be if Tommen killed Cersei, of course. He is a valonquar, just not hers.

Margaery seems perfectly aware of the murder of Joffrey (she was drinking from the cup) and admittedly Tommen is far more pleasant and less psychotic, but it shows that she's not above murder.

[Thunderfist]

Do you guys and girls remember the female cat that Joffrey cut open? Well her husband is back and since Joffrey is gone ....

I suppose I could see that happening, yeah.

She's not above the murder of a psychotic, murderous monster, but I don't think she could make herself kill Tommen. As I said, Olenna is the Tyrell that I could see being behind any assassination attempt on Tommen.

Do we know to what "limit" that rule is enforced? I mean, she "knows him" in that she's probably laid eyes on him before. I don't think they've really interacted.

Besides, she'd probably lie either way. I bet she'd jump at the chance to wreak vengeance on the Lannisters with her new FM abilities.

i think tommen will be thrown down by the targs, not killed though. he will end up as lord of casterly rock. after all he is still tywins grandson and jamies son. incest laws in westeros apply to houses??? the Freys?? Boltons?? cant remember any other houses..

The prophecy says all Cersei's children will die though.

[moonsblood]

Maybe he'll get grayscale, I'd like to see more grayscale.

But seriously I think it will be Cersei

[Sand Snake No. 9]

Poor kid.  At least I hope his kitties survive.

1)  Aegon appears to be winning so the Tyrells off Tommen (and maybe Myrcella) to save their asses, curry favor with Aegon and have an unmarried remarkably-still-intact daughter to peddle to Aegon.

2)  He and Myrcella are victims of symmetry: Aegon/Jon Connington/Arianne/some Sand Snake kill them in revenge for the deaths of Rhaenys and Aegon/anonymous baby. [And Cersei has to die for Elia.]

Directly or indirectly?
