He is DEAD The series is over There s no point in citing Sara s dead Just because you are acting like a pathetic fan boy and crying because Michael s dead doesn t give you the right to post speculation The movie makes it clear that he killed himself via electrocution you are right about the body though it s quite possible that Sara was later exonerated after the escape She even tells her son Let s go visit your father so it s possible that his body was later given to Sara and Lincoln
