In the sequel Ben, Joseph Campanella, Kaz Garas, and the police discover his body which is cover up and then taken out of the house by two policemen. (Note: Bruce was originally supposed to return where he survived the ending of the film disfigure but the idea was discarded by the studio and choose to have the sequel focus on Ben.)
