The television show Heartland is very well-liked in both the United States and Canada, and it has recently broken into the top 10 most-watched shows on Netflix. The series is an adaptation of Lauren Brooke’s books of the same name, and it centers on the lives of two sisters and the ranch that their family owns. Fans are curious as to the circumstances behind the passing of one of the former characters, Tyler “Ty” Borden, who was portrayed by Graham Wardle.
Ty’s Death in Heartland: Why?
Ty had a challenging life because he witnessed his mother being abused and was subjected to his stepfather’s abuse.
Ty intervened, and as a result, he was detained and taken to a juvenile facility. Marion Fleming (Lisa Langlois), who hired him as a ranch hand, offered him a second chance at life.
Ty made a lot of friends while living on the ranch and being treated like a son by Jack (Shaun Johnston).
He marries Amy (Amber Marshall) throughout the course of the show, but at the conclusion of the tenth season, he develops a fatal illness. He returns to Calgary where he is taken to the hospital and treated after being bitten by a tick.
Thankfully, he recovers, but in the first episode of season 14, he passed away from a blood clot after collapsing unexpectedly. His character was killed off, and fans are curious as to why; the actor has spoken candidly about leaving the show. He stated the following to The Canadian Press: “I had a gut feeling that it was time to change course.
“I currently host the podcast “Time Has Come,” and on a future episode, which will air, I intend to talk much more about my choice and how grateful I am for the 14 years I have worked at Heartland.
Since the scripts are written far in advance, the cast was aware of Ty’s departure for around two years.
Graham has been moving in numerous ways and working on other projects for the past few years, according to Amy actor Marshall, who added: “He’d spoken with us frankly quite a few times.”

In light of this, it appears the performer, who had spent 13 years working on the series, only desired a change. A TV series requires a significant amount of dedication, especially if it lasts as long as Heartland. After spending so much time on set, characters frequently leave television series.
In the series, Ty passes out while leading a horse to the stable at the ranch. He does not answer as Amy and Jack hurry over to check on him, and a flash-forward transports viewers to a year later. It is revealed that he died from deep vein thrombosis, and Amy and her family are still grieving his passing.
Reviews on the Death of “Ty”
Wardle stated the following on the Heartland YouTube channel: “I didn’t make this choice lightly. “I have been thinking about how to honor myself, make this move, and honor the show for a few years now.” Fans undoubtedly missed him even though he left the show at the age of 34 and was only 21 when he began.

One user tweeted: “For me, Heartland stopped after season 13. I don’t think Ty is dead. #Heartland” I’m really hoping Ty or Amy is having a bad dream on #Heartland and Ty isn’t actually dead, another person wrote.
Added a third: “I wish Ty hadn’t been killed off; I no longer want to watch the show. Heartland, you are dead to me along with Ty.” The fact that the star of the show left the show amicably at least gives fans some comfort.
