I just remember he went out to save her step-mother in the earthquake, then he died. What did he die of?
sharethey don't really say, it is inferred that he dies in the earthquake after placing his daughter safely aside. might have been killed by debris, electrical shock, or seeing his new wife without her makeup on.
shareHehehehehehehehehe. Perhaps FIona used the earthquake as a escapegoat. Lucky her for Temperance Brennan not getting on the case.
shareit doesn't really say in detail, we just know it was from the earthquake. something probably fell on him or trapped him, electrocuted him, etc.
shareAs has been said, didn't say, but seeing how Fiona acted...LIKELY was her...
...BUT when I think of my reason WHY I blame her (taking full advantage of his death without a backwards glance), that's selfish ppl for ya. They don't need to be murderers to try to squeeze every last dime they can out of their mom on her deathbed.
So I don't know...it might've been debris or seeing his wife without makeup in the morning. :P OUCH!
