The First Church of Springfield is in need of a new organist: TVLine has confirmed that Alice Glick, whose first appearance on the animated comedy dates back to 1991, officially died in the Sunday, Nov. 16 episode.<\/p>\n

“In a sense, Alice the organist will live forever, through the beautiful music she made. But in another, more important sense, yep she’s dead as a doornail,” executive producer\u00a0Tim Long tells TVLine in a statement.<\/p>\n

If you missed the episode, here’s how it all went down (so to speak): The episode began midway through a typical church service, with Reverend Lovejoy’s sermon building to a characteristically droll climax. He assumed that Alice was merely being overzealous when a bang from the organ interrupted his preaching, only to discover Alice’s lifeless body slumped over the enormous instrument. The discovery was met with gasps from members of the congregation, many of whom have been enjoying Alice’s music for more than three decades.<\/p>\n

The episode then cut to Springfield Elementary, where Principal Skinner accurately introduced Alice to the student body as “a dead lady you’ve never met.” Despite this, Alice apparently left all of her money to the school, with specific plans to fund a new music program \u2014 because she was\u00a0always\u00a0<\/em>an angel.<\/p>\n
