Watch one of The Walking Dead's leaked alternate deaths for the season 7 premiere

An alternate death has leaked for The Walking Dead's traumatic season 7 opening showing a different cast member falling to Negan's bat. 

Obviously spoilers if you've not seen it yet, so get the hell out of here you fool! 

It's not clear if this was an actual alternate killing being considered as there were rumours that deaths were filmed for every cast member to help prevent leaks. This could well be a distracto-death, which is a technical term for this sort of thing. 

You can watch the clip below. It's definitely one of the worse options although I don't think there's any win to be had from that episode, no matter who got the bat. 

The Walking Dead season 7 airs every Sunday at 9pm on AMC in the US, and every Monday at 9pm on Fox in the UK.
