Bender's death wouldn't be tragic. For one it gives us funny PEEL-threads.Compare that to losing the wisdom of Scruffy, he has much to teach us.

Fry's death would be quite tragic, but basically all of the characters' deaths would be tragic because they all add to the show and influence others' personalities. I think the series could go on without Fry, the professor, Hermes, Amy, Zoidberg, and possibly Bender, but I think Leela's would be the most tragic because she's basically the reason Fry is alive. Not only does she save his ass most of the time, but I doubt Fry's life would be worth living without him. Leela is basically the star of the show now, and the viewers are able to feel sorry for her rather than contempt because we know about her upbringing. Without Leela, there might be a chain reaction of deaths:
-First, Fry would die either because Leela isn't there to get him out of the situation or will commit suicide because he cannot go on without her. (Also, Zapp Brannigan would definitely do the same, but who cares?)
-Next, without Fry to be his "buddy" and keep him company, Bender will seize this opportunity to put the suicide booth to good use.
-Third, Professor Farnsworth will need to find a replacement crew in order to make his meager wages. He could die of a heart attack finding replacements or die out on the streets in a freak organ-replacement accident.
-Fourth, a crack team of replacements (Amy, Zoidberg, Cubert, and Scruffy) will be under the management of Hermes Conrad. Zoidberg will accidentally wreck Hermes's office like a tornado with claws, so Hermes is boned come the next inspection. His demotion/downsizing will get him so overwhelmed he will jump off the PE roof and meet his end.
-Fifth, Zoidberg broods over the loss of his "friends" and will jump into the Old Faithful geyser, or just a steaming hot bath. If he does not commit suicide, he will definitely die out on the streets.
-Amy runs away and lives with Kif on Amphibios 9. Her parents are enraged that they paid money for an engineering degree she never got, so in a fit of rage, they kill both Amy and Kif. Realizing what they did drives them both mad and... well, the chain just goes on from there.
Leela could live through Fry's death, but anyone's death is not the same.
One last note: I felt that just for a moment, Futurama had JTS during "The Sting," especially when that royal jelly made a carbon copy of Fry. I knew it wasn't Fry, but then when I found out it was Leela's dream, I felt that Futurama never JTS.

I'm actually writing a fan fic about Fry going to war then takes a bullet for his friend, leaving him with only one month to live, um, I said too much.
*hides in bush*
But I voted for Fry. The death of Leela, Bender or Farnsworth would also be sad.

It is hard to decide, w/o Fry and Leela there is no romance, but w/o Bender and Zoidberg there is no comedy. Fry is the star, but Leela is the heart of the show.
The reason for this topic is that I've read fanfics where they have one of the main characters die. I have respect for the writers who do them, but it is just so sad because the fanfics are so well-written. I know what you mean all of Brad Rouse's fan fics Ive read have somehow involved a Titanic and with Fry and Leela dying at the end, heres of a summury of them 1-set back in time to the original Titanic, die in sleep in 1969. age guess: in their 80's 2-on a Titanic, a nuclear generater the evaporates them as they kiss. age for both of them: 29 3-on a Titanic, it is sinking, they refuse to get off, they drown. age for both of them:139 Is there another why to kill off Fry and Leela involving the Titanic in the story?

I voted for bender because bender dying would be the saddest, without him fry would be miserable and boring (as we see in godfellas) and his famous immoral humour would be lost from the series.

The Professor. It's inherently sad to have old people dying, and especially someone as zestful and death-cheating as ol' Farnsy.
