Modern Family to kill off a "significant" character in Season 10

Entertainment Weekly

Co-creator Christopher Lloyd tells EW the death will involve a “significant character on the series” and it “will be a moving event — and an event that has repercussions across several episodes.” Of course, Lloyd won't reveal details of who is dying, but he adds: "We’re handling some bigger life events in this season. We do deal with a death, which is certainly a topic that families have to deal with, and on television, it’s not easy to do because that’s a heavy subject. But at the same time, it would seem unusual for a family not to go through it.”
