Tod Waggner is the first survivor to die after the plane crash. His death is ruled a suicide, but Alex believes Death is reclaiming those who escaped. Tod’s bathtub death scene is a signature Final Destination moment — eerie, silent, and creatively tragic.
- What is the name of the creepy mortician who provides insight into Death’s plan?
Correct Answer: Bludworth
Played by Tony Todd, Bludworth is a mysterious mortician who seems to know more about Death’s design than he lets on. His cryptic warnings and chilling presence became iconic in the franchise, hinting at deeper lore beneath the surface.

- What does Alex try to do to break Death’s design?
