Walking dead how does lori die

With no trace of Lori's body, Rick killed the walker and stabbed at its stomach to search for pieces of Lori's corpse.

He didn't allow himself to fully investigate since he was overcome with emotion. Some viewers questioned how a walker could have eaten an entire body in that short of time.

Others pointed out that walkers don't often eat the bones of a victim. Greg Nicotero , the special make-up effects supervisor as well as an executive producer and director on The Walking Dead , confirmed on multiple occasions that the walker did indeed eat Lori after her death. The series intentionally avoided showing the remains of her body since the crew thought they would be pushing the boundaries.

Lori's death from childbirth was already emotional enough and the focus needed to shift to the fallout involving Rick. Instead, a walker was used to tie up loose ends in terms of her whereabouts but it ended up creating more questions.

Kara Hedash is a features editor and writer for Screen Rant. The Walking Dead season 5 facts you need to know about new series. In a separate interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Lori star revealed she has nothing but positive feeling towards the role. The Walking Dead: 5 deaths from TV which never happened in comics. Walking Dead started as such a humble show,. Lori went on to appear in a handful of episodes after her death as a haunting vision to husband Rick. Callies also leant her vocal talents to season nine episode What Comes After — the same episode Rick departed in.

Lori is definitely having problems with the fact that she has feelings for Shane. She definitely loves Rick and possibly has stronger feelings for him but this is a guy who very much part of their family before apocalypse and was pretty much all that was left.

She knows he'll heal, but she's terrified of the rabbit hole that losing her is going to send Rick down. And so I think, to me, that moment was for Rick, as in I hope somewhere in your heart you can just heal. Her actions cause a rift between her and the rest of the group, particularly Lori and Rick, attributing to her slip into insanity even more due to isolation.

This culminates in her committing suicide by letting a zombie bite her neck. Rick starts hallucinating after the death of his wife and baby. After his wife Lori is killed in a walker attack, Rick begins to lose his sanity and begins to see her everywhere , and has conversations with her, Amy Jim, and Jacqui through an unplugged phone.

He eventually overcomes his grief and stops seeing her. The zombies are eating ham. Instead of chowing down on long pig, the actors playing walkers wrap their lips around juicy bits of ham. They used to get barbecue sauce to help it go down, but the vinegar messed up their make-up, so now it's just ham with fake blood all over it.

After Rick found out Lori was pregnant and the child could be Shane's, his decision to raise Judith as his own was a major storyline in Season 3. In the comics, the general consensus is that Judith was Shane's child and not Rick's, but Robert Kirkman never clarified one way or another. Carl is the only son of deputy sheriff Rick Grimes and his wife, Lori Grimes. Suddenly, the radio crackles and squeaks, and T-Dog's garbled transmission comes through, explaining that they're trapped in the department store, surrounded by hundreds of walkers.

Dale responds to the transmission but only radio silence follows. We do not risk the rest of the group," Shane insists. Amy argues that Andrea's life is at risk, but Shane tells her she's gone.

Amy is furious, exclaiming "That's my sister, you son-of-a-bitch! Lori follows to comfort her. In the camp, Lori gives Carl a haircut while Shane promises him that they will catch frogs at the quarry, so they can eat their legs. Lori expresses her disgust at the thought, while Shane tells her she'll be begging for more once she tastes them, then smiles while telling Carl, "We'll be heroes, son.

Shane and Carl, spoken of in song and legend. The rest of the group then arrives. Andrea and Amy tearfully reunite, as do Morales with his family. Carl becomes emotional and Lori leads him away. Rick emerges and recognizes Shane. The two trade stunned glances as Carl spots Rick and runs into his open arms. Lori stares at Rick, but she tearfully embraces her husband and son. She looks up at Shane, while she cries into Rick's shoulder.

In the night, around a campfire, Rick describes the disorientation he felt waking up alone in the hospital. Lori explains she was told Rick would be brought over to Atlanta, but it never happened. He then expresses immense gratitude to Shane for saving and taking care of his family. He then volunteers to deliver the news to Daryl Dixon about his brother, as does T-Dog, who is wracked with guilt for dropping the key.

Later on, in their tent, Rick says goodnight to Carl and then takes Lori's hand as he crawls into bed with her. He tells her he knew she and Carl were alive because their photo albums were gone when he returned to their house. Lori smiles and pulls one open.

They reflect on their past mistakes and are grateful for the second chance that they have been given. Lori returns Rick's wedding ring, which had been removed when he was in the hospital, and the two discretely have sex. The next morning, Lori is doing the laundry when Rick tells her he keeps thinking about leaving Merle behind and he plans to return to Atlanta.

Lori is shocked, but their discussion is interrupted by screams. Lori runs to Carl and protects him. Later, Lori announces to Daryl that Rick's going back to rescue Merle. Lori pleas with Rick not to risk his life for a man like Merle. Rick explains to her that he also needs to collect his walkie-talkie from the bag so he can warn Morgan Jones away from the city.

He claims he owes them his life. He also explains to her that there are several guns and bullets in that bag that will help them an the people at the camp. Lori gives up arguing, and Carl tells Rick he's okay with his reasons for going back to Atlanta. In their tent, Lori frets about Rick. Everything that's happened to him so far; nothing's killed him yet. Later on, Lori looks for Carl around the camp.

Dale tells her he should be down at the quarry catching frogs. She heads down to the quarry where Shane is teaching Carl to catch frogs. Lori orders Carl to return to camp.

After he leaves, Shane tells her not to take it out on him, and Lori warns him to stay away from her family. You're the one that told me that he died. Lori congratulates Andrea and Amy when they return to camp with several caught fish.

Amy volunteers to teach Carl about knots and fishing, and Lori allows her to. When Jim is seen digging holes on top of the nearby hill, the group of survivors, including Lori, go to confront him. Later, Lori is seen teaching school lessons to Carl and Sophia , while Jim is tied up nearby to prevent him from harming himself. At night, Lori joins the others for supper to eat the cooked fish. As they all chat, they soon are attacked by a group of walkers.

Lori originally takes cover behind Shane, however when Rick returns from his city mission with Glenn , Daryl and T-Dog , Lori and Carl rush to embrace him instead. Shane is visibly annoyed. Lori watches in horror as Andrea cradles Amy, who was killed by walkers. Distraught over the previous night's events, Lori is against Rick's idea of leaving the quarry to go to the CDC over Fort Benning miles in the other direction , to find a cure for the now bitten and infected Jim.

Rick asks Lori if she blames him for not being there when the camp was attacked, and to support his decision to head for the CDC. She doesn't blame him, but she doesn't know if she can follow him to the CDC on blind faith. When she asks for any kind of certainty on Rick's part, he tells her, "I love you.

That's all I got. He asks her to convince him that his idea is a bad one and goes on to tell her that trying to repair her troubled marriage with Rick does not supersede the safety of the group. Lori, still angry with him for lying to her, replies that the group can make up their minds about where to go without bringing her marriage into the situation.

When the RV breaks down, Jim asks to be left to die and Lori, along with Dale, agree that his request should be respected despite Rick's belief that their friend is delirious. When the group arrives at the CDC, they find that the complex has been completely closed off by shutters.

When they receive no answer to their calls, they all agree to leave the area before it gets too dark. Rick is insistent that someone is still alive in the complex after seeing the security camera move.

Rick begins to yell at the security camera, demanding that whoever is inside let them in. Lori and the others become increasingly panicked as walkers steadily approach. Frantically, Lori tries to get Rick to stop yelling and leave with them, but he ignores her and becomes hysterical. As Rick is finally pulled away screaming by Shane and Lori, the shutter doors open. Lori and the other survivors enjoy a short reprieve from mortal danger after Dr.

Edwin Jenner takes them inside the CDC, under the condition that they all submit to blood tests. When Andrea shows signs of pain, Jenner finds out none of them have eaten in days. The group then celebrates a hot meal and wine.

Lori allows Carl to try wine for the first time. When questioned about the lack of other people, Dr Jenner explains that he's the only person still alive in the complex because most fled to be with their families and others committed suicide after a certain period of time. Afterward, Lori and Rick enjoy a hot shower together. Lori later finds Carl in the recreational room with Carol and Sophia, reading books. Carl leaves with Carol and Sophia to sleep, while Lori browses the library.

She is startled by a drunken Shane, who was watching her from his adjoining room. He slams a door to alert her, before he insists that she listen to his side of the story regarding Rick still being alive. Angry, Lori attempts to leave the room, but is cut off by Shane. He tries to plead his case to her, telling her that he believed Rick was dead, that he didn't hear or feel a heartbeat, and that if he hadn't lied to her she would've died trying to get to Rick.

When Lori continues to refuse to listen to him, Shane becomes physically aggressive and attempts to rape her, shoving his hand down her shorts. Lori struggles and eventually scratches him across the neck. Bleeding, Shane flees the room, leaving a frightened Lori to herself. Later, an equally drunk Rick returns to their bedroom and assures the crying Lori that they have nothing to be afraid of anymore, not realizing what she is actually upset about.

At breakfast, Lori avoids eye contact with Shane when Rick notices the scratch mark on his neck. Shane lies and says he did it in his sleep and Rick says that's unusual behavior for Shane, but doesn't push the issue. Later, Jenner shows the group how the mysterious disease affects the human brain via "TS" Test Subject 19 , explaining that it only reactivated the brain stem, not the parts that make a person human. He also admits that he doesn't know how to treat the disease and that he has lost contact with other CDC facilities.

When it is revealed the CDC complex has been rigged to self-destruct, Lori implores Jenner to allow them to escape, telling him that they wish to survive for as long as they can. Jenner eventually allows them to leave, while choosing to remain behind with Jacqui. With the use of Rick's grenade that Carol had stashed in her backpack, the survivors manage to reach their vehicles just as the CDC building explodes. Lori is driving up to a vehicle jammed highway with Rick, Carl and other group members.

Finding the path blocked by abandoned cars, and with Dale's RV broken down, they decide to look for supplies in the abandoned vehicles while Dale and Glenn make repairs. Lori is initially opposed to looting what she believes to be "a graveyard" but relents when Carol explains how her abusive husband Ed used to control what clothes she was allowed to wear. She tells Carl to stay close by. Carl finds a supply of tools.

When a herd of walkers catches up to them, Rick yells at Lori and the group to hide under the cars. Lori and Carol take shelter under a car opposite to where Carl and Sophia are hiding. The herd passes by but one lagging behind spots Sophia when she attempts to move from her hiding spot. Sophia panics and bolts into the woods. Lori rushes after a hysterical Carol and covers her mouth to prevent any walkers from hearing her cries.

As the group splits up to look for Sophia, Carl tells Lori about the tools he found. Lori tells him to put them down, but Carl doesn't listen and shows Shane instead.

Shane yells at him to give them to Dale. Lori confronts Shane about speaking to Carl too harshly, then finds out that Shane plans to leave the group. Lori comforts Carol after she becomes distressed by nobody being able to find Sophia by sundown. Rick walks away from the group after Carol blames him for Sophia going missing as Rick left her alone to attend to a stray walker. The next day, Lori addresses the group's hypocrisy towards Rick, saying "You look to him, then blame him when he's not perfect".

Elsewhere in the woods, Carl is shot through the stomach while looking at a wild deer. In a pre-apocalypse flashback, Lori is outside Carl's school waiting to pick him up. Lori tells a friend about her marital problems with Rick, and the fight they had that morning the same one Shane and Rick discuss in Days Gone Bye.

Lori explains that Rick has no fire about him and won't even participate in an argument with her. She tells her friend she knows she's being irrational but doesn't know why.

Her friend asks "But you still love him? She then ponders if their current communication issues came from marrying too young. Before they can finish the conversation, a police siren rings out and several cars roll into the carpark. Lori excuses herself and appears apprehensive, knowing something is wrong. Shane slowly exits his vehicle with a grim expression.

Lori asks "Is he alive? Shane tells her Rick is in surgery. Lori is distressed about telling Carl who is walking over to her but Shane says she doesn't have to do it alone. He stays nearby as Lori informs Carl, who begins to cry. In present time, Lori is apprehensive, wondering why only a single gunshot rang out not knowing she heard Carl being shot.

Later, Maggie catches up to the group by horse, in order to inform Lori about Carl and rush her to the Greene Family Farm. Lori begins to cry as soon as she sees Rick covered in blood. They embrace and Rick takes her to Carl's bedside. As Carl clings to life, Lori tells Rick she temporarily forgot Jacqui was dead, then remembered Jacqui doesn't have to deal with the trauma of the apocalypse anymore.

She wonders if she and Rick are even doing the right thing by Carl, trying to keep him alive in this increasingly violent world. She wonders if Dr. Jenner was right about not living in their world any longer but Rick disagrees.

They cannot agree on what's right. Soon after, Carl awakens and fondly remembers watching the deer in the forest. He has a seizure due to blood loss while Lori and Rick watch horrified. Rick tells Lori about the deer and says he believes it to be a sign that it's worth keeping Carl alive, despite everything, because he still sees beauty in the world.

Carl stabilizes once Shane returns with the appropriate medicine but without Otis. As Lori tearfully embraces a still unconscious but stable Carl, Shane enters the room.

Lori tells him to stay. Shane asks Lori if she really meant it when she said stay. Lori says she did but does not elaborate. Lori then asks Glenn to discreetly get her something secret while he is on a pharmacy run. Later, Lori helps the group attempt to pull a fallen walker out of the farm's well, however it disintegrates as they pull it out, filling the well with blood and guts. Carl tells Rick that Lori informed him Sophia still isn't rescued yet.

At night, Lori moves outside alone and reveals the item she asked Glenn for was a pregnancy test. She takes the test and it shows positive - she is pregnant. She begins to cry upon seeing the result. In another flashback, the apocalypse has begun and people are frantically trying to leave the city. Lori, Shane and Carl are stuck in a traffic jam. Lori and Carl speak to Carol and Sophia, also stuck in the traffic, along with Carol's abusive husband, Ed.

When Carl exclaims he is hungry, Carol offers some of their food. Ed, however, berates her for talking to strangers, saying it's not safe. Lori and Shane notice people moving into the forest nearby and ask Carol to watch Carl while they head over to find out what's happening. They stop when they see the city of Atlanta in the distance, being bombed by the military in order to try to curb the walker outbreak.

Shane is stunned and Lori becomes overwhelmed with fear. Shane comforts her while she cries. In present time, Lori wakes up and helps Carol with the laundry. Carol asks Lori if she would ask the Greenes if they can cook a thank you dinner in their kitchen. When Lori asks why Carol won't ask, Carol says it would look better coming from the "First Lady" of their group.

Glenn later confronts Lori about her pregnancy and begs her to tell Rick. She pleads with him to keep it secret until she finds the right time to tell. Rick asks Lori for advice about Sophia, as it's been days since they last saw her and the search is beginning to seem hopeless.

Lori insists they keep searching and says if it were Carl, they would want everyone to keep looking. After Daryl nearly dies looking for Sophia, Shane tells Lori he thinks Rick should start making tougher calls and stop the search.

Lori disagrees with him and says she respects Rick continuing to look. Shane says all he cares about now is her and Carl, but Lori says he needn't concern himself as she and her son are not his problem, or his excuse, anymore.

Later, Lori helps Carol, Patricia and Beth prepare the thank you meal for everyone. Lori and Carl are feeding the chickens on Hershel's farm. Carl asks where one chick's mother is and Lori avoids the obvious answer. Carl then notes that it was probably eaten, saying "Everything is food for something else". Lori is unsettled by his dark outlook. Later, Glenn again urges Lori to tell Rick about the pregnancy but when Lori becomes distressed, he comforts her and says he'll support her no matter what.

Later, Lori and Rick find out that Carl stole a gun in order to feel safe and they debate whether they should teach him to use weapons. Lori feels Carl is too young to be armed and out in the wilderness, and still needs to recover from his injury. She eventually agrees with Rick that it's important he knows how to use a weapon, and allows him to practice shooting. Lori helps Hershel with repairing the farm fence and thanks him for everything he's done.

As they talk, Hershel mentions how he wants her group to leave soon. She panics and later tells Rick to convince Hershel to change his mind and allow them to stay. Rick says he needs time to wait for the right moment to ask. Dale confronts Lori about her pregnancy after Glenn reveals it to him. He notices her morning sickness and tells her his wife had the same symptoms. He explains they experienced a miscarriage and stopped trying after that. Lori is distressed that Dale knows about her pregnancy.

He asks if she hasn't told Rick yet because of Shane. Lori is horrified Dale knew about her accidental affair with Shane, and explains she slept with him because she "felt like I died with [Rick]" and wanted to feel something.

Dale tries to reason that her baby is worth keeping because he still remembers joy but Lori doesn't think children will have enough good memories made in the apocalypse. Glenn apologizes for telling her secret and Lori forgives him. She then asks him to go on another pharmacy run. He agrees, taking Maggie with him, but Maggie is attacked by a walker in the pharmacy.

When the two return, Maggie screams at Lori for making them risk their lives for her methotrexate pregnancy terminating pills. Glenn later comes to Lori to give her some prenatal vitamins in case she changes her mind.

Lori takes the pills to induce a miscarriage, but immediately had a change of heart, running to a nearby field and threw them up. Rick enters their tent and finds the pills.

He confronts Lori. They argue, with Rick angry that she wouldn't tell him nor consult with him about what to do. Lori says she does not want to raise a child in the apocalypse, even though she threw the pills up. Rick is through with their communication issues getting the best of them and he asks her if there's anything else she's hiding. She admits her affair with Shane and Rick admits he knew deep down something had occurred between them.

He says he understands Lori thought he was dead. The group is eating breakfast. Lori notices Rick is lost in thought and asks him where he "went". He reassures her that he's right here. Glenn then tells the group that the barn is filled with walkers. They're stunned and head down to the barn to check.

The walkers bang against the padlocked doors. Rick says he'll talk to Hershel about it but is hesitant to leave the farm as Sophia has not been found yet. Shane wants to leave for Fort Benning. Daryl says he's close to finding Sophia but Shane insults Daryl, who attacks Shane, while Lori and Rick help break up their altercation.
