In a quiet bedroom scene that marks the series' first major on-screen death, John Stirling, Francesca Bridgerton's husband, dies suddenly in Bridgerton Season 4, Vol. 2, now streaming on Netflix.
At the end of episode six, John tells Francesca he is going to lie down for 'only a small headache' and asks her to wake him later, only for her to find him unresponsive and scream, prompting his visiting cousin Michaela to rush in.
