Talk:List of Six Feet Under deaths

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I believe there is a death missing in the Six Feet Under deaths page. In the description it mentions

45 Lisa Kimmel Fisher 1967 2003 drowned by Hoyt, her brother-in-law Lili Taylor Falling Into Place

However, at the end of Season 4, IIRC "Hoyt" (Lisa's Brother in Law) shoots himself with a handgun that he pulls from his desk drawer when confronted by Nate Fisher into the nature of the death of Lisa Kimmel Fisher. When he realizes he's "done for", Hoyt ends his life just as his wife comes into his office/den area and hears what is going on.

I don't know the exact episode date/details or title of Season 4 since it's not out on DVD until August 23rd (can't wait ;))!!! Hence why I'm not updating the page directly with the Edit feature.

  • Hi, when I created the article I only included deaths that occurred in the teaser sequence which meant if a death occurred during the episode (after that teaser), I only included the first death, hence Hoyt's death's abscence. I put Hoyt in the Other deaths section. Sfufan2005 20:46, July 28, 2005 (UTC)

  • I incremented the statistics for the number of deaths by suicides and total count of deaths at the same time if you didn't take that out.


  • Pretty good page. Main problem I see with it is a few oddly-worded lines ("natural causes after teaching his children" is so ambiguous...) and a lot of ridiculously excessive linkage ("metal lunchbox dropped on head from top of the building"). I also don't really think it's fair to blame the family's death in Bomb Shelter entirely on the father. But I'll work on those soon as I have the time. -Silence 22:10, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

The list contains a seperate section for deaths that do not occur in the teaser sequence, but the main list contains the deaths of the main characters (which don't occur in the teasers).

  • Yeah, but they're the Fishers. I think they are an exception to the rule because first off, the finale had no opening death + they were major unlike the cadavers that lie on a table or mentioned deceased which follow in the table below. Sfufan2005 20:44, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Seems pretty clear that the first table is "deaths with associated title cards" and the second table is "and the rest", right? --NapoliRoma 22:41, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Significance of the numbers?

Cool page; I get to combine two recent obsessions: watching SFU on DVD and editing Wikipedia.

One question: Both tables have numbers in the first column. Is there some significance to them? Is there some chat room or the like where -- please tell me this isn't true -- people say things like, "what do you mean 13 was a better death than 42? 13 rocked!" ?

If there's no signifance to each death being numbered, I propose removing that column. --NapoliRoma 22:38, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

There's really no significance, I think it was just to keep them numbered and organized. But that's just me. The idea to start this list was sparked from List of deaths in The Sopranos series. Sfufan2005 22:52, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
