The Walford Death Map is one of the many features of the official BBC EastEnders website, bbc.co.uk/eastenders. This feature shows all of the major characters who have died throughout the show's history. It was first launched at Hallowe'en 2006 and is usually updated a few days after the character has died.

On the left of the window, there is a map of the Walford area, with orange dots marking the locations of the deaths. Deaths outside the area are indicated with a arrows around the map. At the top right, there is a picture of the character. Lower down, there is the the death date and circumstances. Sometimes there are links to the characters pages, and some have video clips.

The Death Map lists the characters in the chronological order of when they died (with one exception, Lou Beale, who died in 1988 and was listed after a character who died in 1996).
