How Did Carl Die?
Carl was bitten in the torso, but he kept the bite hidden while his father, Rick (Andrew Lincoln), prepared for war against the Saviours. However, Carl was soon overcome by the effects of the bite as he sought refuge from Negan in the sewers beneath Alexandria. Rick and Michonne (Danai Guria) discover Carl in his final moments and realize that he must die to avoid reanimation. Carl told Michonne, while his father was still in shock, "I have to do this, me."

Carl then told Michonne and Rick how much he loved them before they abandoned him beneath Alexandria with a gun. Finally, in a heartbreaking scene, Rick and Michonne are standing outside the sewer when a gunshot rings, confirming Carl's suicide. Carl's death was thus caused by suicide, though some TWD fans blame Siddiq.

Why Did Carl Die And Chandler Riggs Leave The Role?
According to Riggs' father, Carl's death was decided by the writers, not the actor.
"Just to clarify once and for all: Chandler didn't want to leave the show," Riggs' father said in a now-deleted Facebook comment.
He also stated that the actor was "devastated" to learn of his departure. After his final scenes aired, Riggs addressed his departure.
Speaking at San Jose Fan Fest, the TWD star said: "It wasn't just Carl dying; it was also me leaving the show and moving on to other things.
"So, it was symbolic just for the cast and crew, just for me to leave the show in the first place; it was a big deal for all of us.
"Yeah, it sucked, and it was many long days, but I'm really happy with how it turned out, and I'm really happy with my performances, and I'm happy with how I left the show."
