Distraught Bradley throws himself off a building in Albert Square when he becomes a suspect in the Christmas Day murder of Archie Mitchell.
Insiders say writers have made the hopeless romantic's tragic exit one of the most heart-breaking soap goodbyes ever.
A show source said: "They have pulled out all the stops and it's a real tear-jerker.
"By killing a main character with a sympathetic suicide, the writers are breaking one of the last taboos.
"There have been a few soap suicides of minor characters over the years but never of someone so central and so well-loved by viewers."
Bosses at the BBC1 soap promised actor Charlie Clements, 22 - who has played geeky Bradley since 2006 - a dramatic send off when he quit.
The redhead's funeral has already been filmed amid tight security.
It sees on-off love Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) - who has just got back with Bradley after their 2006 split - so distressed she runs out wailing halfway through the service.
