Manifest season 4 deaths explained
Across the fourth season of Manifest, the show killed off a number of characters including both characters we had previously met and new faces introduced this season. While the deaths that unfolded across the first nine episodes of season 4 were all shocking, there’s no denying that it was the final death of part 1 which occurred in the closing moments of episode 10 that left us heartbroken and reaching for some tissues.
Curious to know which characters die in part 1? Here is a complete breakdown of the six(!) characters who die in Manifest season 4 part 1 with information on the episode they die in and how they perish:
Erika Burness
- Time of Death: Manifest season 4 episode 5
- Cause of Death: After fleeing Adrian’s 828 community home, Erika comes out gun blazing and seems ready to shoot Michaela. Using his abilities, Zeke can feel Erika’s anger which takes over him leading him to take Jared’s gun and shoot Erika several times — killing her in the process.
Sam Wile
- Time of Death: Manifest season 4 episode 6
- Cause of Death: Sam’s body was discovered by Michaela after she got a calling that led her to his home. While his death is at first thought to be the result of a hate crime, we later discover he was the first of the 828 killer’s victims.
Anna Ross
- Time of Death: Manifest season 4 episode 6
- Cause of Death: At the end of episode 6, Anna is caught off guard when she opens her door only to be met by the 828 killer who stabs her in the chest. While the event takes place at the end of episode 6, it’s not until the following episode that we learn Anna is indeed dead.
Violet Wheeler
- Time of Death: Manifest season 4 episode 7
- Cause of Death: After Violet and Cal hit it off, but sadly their relationship ended before it truly even began when Violet was murdered by the 828 killer.
Kenneth Meyer
- Time of Death: Manifest season 4 episode 8
- Cause of Death: After killing Sam, Anna, and Violet, Kenneth sets his sights on killing Eden next and makes his way to the Stone household in episode 8 to kill the “demon child.” What he didn’t expect was for Olive and Zeke to put up a fight which would lead to his demise. When Kenneth crept upstairs in hopes of finding Eden, Olive hit him over the head and then pushed him out a second-story window to his death.
Zeke Landon
- Time of Death: Manifest season 4 episode 10
- Cause of Death: In what was the season’s biggest and most shocking death, Zeke sacrificed himself to save Cal by using his newfound abilities to somehow take Cal’s illness when it became clear that Cal’s time was coming to an end. After healing Cal by absorbing the disease about to kill him, Zeke died in Michaela’s arms.
