This is just a theory but maybe around the time when Family Guy killed Brian, Seth MacFarlane was battling depression and killed off the character to cope with having suicidial tendencies. It makes a bit of sense when you think about how Brian is supposed to be Seth in dog form. They are both atheists, they both date a lot of different women, he's the only character that Seth uses his natural speaking voice for, they are both Star Wars fans and Trekkies, he shares the same political views as his creator/voice actor, etc. Yeah, that sounds a lot like Seth to me so maybe when he kiled Brian for a few episodes Seth was basically saying that he wants to die IRL.
