"The body of John Lantham of New York was found shortly after 4 a.m. in the 4300 block of Grand Avenue.

Ted Worden, a doorman at the Tower Lofts complex, heard loud noises coming from the victim's loft. Concerned for the tenants' safety, he entered the loft and found the body hanging from a beam in the living room.

According to Jaime Ortiz, a police spokesman, the incident was deemed a suicide after medical tests. Lantham (sic) is survived by one teenaged son.

Memorial services will be held at the Hoffs-Drawlar Funeral Home tomorrow evening."

Damn...why do they always wait so long? You'd think they want to have it out early as possible to try and hook new fans before the new season. Can't be that hard to slap the episodes and a couple extras on a DVD. Shows that start in Sept are often able to get previous seasons out by their start time.

I go to Honolulu 3 or 4 times a month on business and have seen or met most of the lost characters. Sat in the "Mai Tai" bar last month with the lost helocopter crews in the Ala Moana Center and had a few libations.

I'm always surprised how small the actors are, they seem so much bigger on the screen. I bet Eve (Kate) isnt over 5 feet tall. The big guys from the Others are big tho.

The obit says the man was from NY and he died in NY -- so my question is -- unless Jack picked up a copy of the NY Times, why would that little snippet run in an LA paper?

We obviously won't know for sure what's happening with those scenes of Jack in the future (or, since the plane crash happened in 2004, our present) until the show comes back in February, but here are a few of my own theories:

1) Christian is still dead. Jack doesn't want the pharmacist to call the office because then he'll get busted for forging a prescrip tion from a dead man. And when he does the "get my father" rant, everyone in the hallway looks at him with pity, which could easily be interpreted as "Wow, look how far gone this guy is: He thinks his old man is still alive."

2) Christian has come back to life through the same healing powers of the island that cured Locke's paralysis (and bullet wound) and Rose's cancer, and which may or may not have resurrected one-eyed Mikhail Bakunin a time or two. Remember, when Jack finally found Christian's cof fin, it was empty. Maybe the ap parition of his father he saw walking around wasn't an apparition at all, but his actual father slowly coming back from the dead.

3) It's an alternate future, or parallel universe, that's subtly different from the world our heroes left when the plane crashed. Maybe the reason Jack is so consumed with his belief that they never should have left the island is that when they got rescued, things weren't quite right. (It would also be the simplest explanation for Kate not being in prison; maybe in this reality, her father's alive, too, and she never became a fugitive.)

4) As Gary Rice from Scotch Plains suggests, "The writers have also the option of treating Jack's future as Desmond's flash- forward, not Jack's reality." And Desmond has gotten the details of his flashes wrong before.
