Shakil Kazemi died in a heartbreaking episode of EastEnders last night, after being stabbed.
Shakil was a victim of a knife attack, along with his friend Keegan Baker.
Keegs had stolen a bike and when the owners came looking for it – and for him – he and his bestie were attacked.
The lads lay bleeding unseen, while the Square celebrated the royal wedding, until Mick found Keegan and rushed him to hospital.
But Shaki wasn’t found until later, and when he eventually got help it was too late to save him.
His brother Kush, and his fiancee Denise, were at the hospital, and mum Carmel arrived just as the doctor broke the tragic news.
The hospital scenes were super sad, with Carmel and Kush in shock, and Shakil’s dad, Umar, also in bits. As the family said goodbye to the lad, the fans were heartbroken.

Shaheen Jafargholi, who played tragic Shaki, took to social media to say farewell to his alter-ego.
“Shakil out,” he posted on Twitter, alongside a pic of Shaki, Louise, Bex, and Keegan.
And after the tragic episode aired, he added another message for fans.
“The best two years ever,” he wrote. “Thank you everybody for your incredibly kind messages. RIP Shaki.”
Shaheen, who shot to fame when he wowed the judges with his singing when he auditioned for Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. He even sang at the Michael Jackson memorial concert as a fresh-faced 12 year old, back in 2009.
