The only two Family Guy characters that have permanently died are Muriel Goldman, Loretta Brown, and Peter's mom Evelyn (played by the late Phyllis Diller). Most of the deaths are shown through cutaway gags meaning that they most likely aren't canon, but there have been a few deaths that correspond with the regular plotline through Family Guy's long history (for example, the end of "Into Harmony's Way" where Peter blows his brains out in the van). The Family Guy universe has a very weird take on mortality.
