??? if by 'that' you mean 'make everyone really upset by a pointless character death'...
there are much better, much more effective ways of connecting emotionally to your audience and inspiring their passion than simply killing off a character. that way's just the cheapest and the easiest. it's like hitting the skinny kid with the glasses; it's just too easy.
as smallship1 said...you may follow tw's example; personally, i'd prefer to be better than that. kill off a character if the story absolutely demands it...but NOT just to get a big emotionally manipulative reaction / amp up the ratings. >:P
