Okay...who is that?

So is it meant to be Michael? Assuming it was set a few years after getting off the island, Walt would have been a teenager...

The losties may still be holding a grudge for him shooting Libby & Ana-lucia and running away

someone we haven't met yet

1. Was this obit in the real paper that day?
2. Wouldn't it be cool if the LOST writers faked the obit in the real paper to set up the future of their own show

it cant be anyone we've met already. i think the walt sighting was a red herring (granted, the way things go on this show nothing is a red herring until its filmed - they change stuff up based on what people say about the show) and there is a new person who has a son. If Michael was survived by his teenage son WHY WOULDN'T WALT GO TO THE FUNERAL? Michael, since he's been on the island, has done everything for Walt and unless that changes, i cant imagine how his son wouldn't go to his fathers funeral.

Either that or its Ben.

I'm gonna guess it's a new person we meet next season that's in the coffin

I was thinking maybe it could be Juliette?

Was it a flash forward? Jack's dad was still alive.

jack's dad wasn't alive, jack was f'ed up.

new york and teenaged son says michael to me, also the fact that kate wouldn't go - she knows what michael did.

could be that walt was left on the island (after he ended up back there... somehow... we've still got a couple of seasons to find out) and michael was 'rescued' - then killed himself cause he couldn't find HIS SON!

Since this is futuristic obviously, could it possibly be Locke? After all his name is John, and perhaps Locke was his mother's name, and Lantham could possibly be his father's name. As was the name on the obituary.
Just one take on this mystery to throw in.

It's not an obituary. It's an article in the newspaper reporting that a person, from NY committed suicde in LA.

It has been reported on various websites that the actual (real) newspaper was an April 5th 2007 edition of an LA newspaper.

NO he wasn't. Jack said that while being totally drunk and it has been well established that Jack's dad was dead. He had more airtime being dead on the show than Anna Lucia had in her whole time being alive. And even so - don't state things that are not verified as _facts_. I can't stand it anymore. It's the same deal with the crashed plane and "no survivors were found" as well as the fact that Oceanic is back in business when "The Lost Experience" showed us that they ceased operations after flight 815 crashed.

Let's face it: WE DON'T KNOW who that guy is and the only thing we DO know is that the coffin was really really small. So just for the sake of logic it can't be Sawyer or otherwise somebody would have had to cut his legs off to fit him into that tiny coffin.

By size, it could be Ben. But then again I find it totally idiotic to "discuss" something that is still not written down in paper or acted and put on film yet.

So stop arguing. There's no logic behind discussing something nobody knows for sure. Nobody can win that argument.

Don't know what happened here right now (got the message "Try back soon") but I was replying to #9

Oh and @#8: sure, it was a woman.

A woman named John Lantham.

I wonder why I am still discussing "Lost" here. Sometimes the stupidity is just overwhelming. They even said that it was a male in the coffin DURING the episode.

I guess you "thought" it was Juliette just because you thought it like, you know, without THINKING.

Are we forgetting that when Kate met Jack that night, she stated that "she had to get back before he knew she was gone"? Making me believe that Sawyer is the He due to he tend to run on being jealous when it came to Kate?
I can't wait for the new season!

"NO he wasn't. Jack said that while being totally drunk and it has been well established that Jack's dad was dead."

Wasn't the casket holding Jack's dad empty when Jack found it in the cave on the island?

Missing body and a healing mysterious island. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that Jack's Dad could now be alive on this show.

This is slightly off topic, and I'm asking bacause I really don't know the answer, but do they really make smaller coffins for short people (I don't mean children)? I always thought they were standard sized.
