When Tyler was possessed by a traveler and was not in control of his actions he ripped Stefan’s heart out, killing him. The travelers were a group of nomads who sought to kill all the supernatural magic except their own. Tyler’s susceptibility was facilitated by a curse that made him vulnerable to possession. However, Bonnie with her magic along with a little help from Katherine brought Stefan back to life.
