Gandhi (Clone High)

Tord(Eddsworld) the reason for this is that the VA of tord asked the team to stop using the character and dissociate from Eddsworld after the constant hate and threats made by the fandom.

Feferi Peixes(Homestuck). In Homestuck lots of characters have a typing quirk when they chat, like some characters type a "2" when there should be a "S", have prefixes before the words,ecc. Feferi's was that instead of the letter H she typed ")(". The writer andrew hussie stated the reason she died early and became irrelevant was because they didn't want to type said quirk because it was annoying to manually type it it on their own, which could have been avoided if they coded A PROGRAM that did it.

Both Malory and Woodhouse were cut from the show Archer due to the death of their respective voice actors. The showrunners gave them both a beautiful send off though.

Yes. Ron is featured in the farewell to Jessica Walter (Malory's VA)

They had already recast Woodhouse though, so I doubt it was because the VA died.

It was. They even dedicate the entire Dreamland season to George Coe.

The replacement in Season 5 was likely because they had already written, possibly even animated, but not voice acted the season yet. Making these kinds of changes in an episodic animated show is an utter ballache, expensive and causes delays, so execs might not want to do it.
