Anyone know how the little girl died in the begining of the movie?


I am wondering why the little girl died in the movie. Did she die of an infection? Can a fever really kill you? If so how can it kill? How do you treat a high temp? I know that heat stroke can kill so do fevers kill like heat stroke?

It's hard to tell because there isn't much information given in the movie. I don't think a fever can necessarily kill you, but a fever can be a symptom of a bigger issue. I think she probably had the flu or pneumonia.

A fever can absolutely kill you. Yes, it's a symptom of something else, like the flu, but it is, in fact, the fever that is dangerous and kills you, not the flu bug itself. If the body overheats the organs will fail.

I assumed she had pneumonia or the flu. Not only because of the fever, but she had a bright red face when on the gurney.

As Drew Darko notes, there's not much information given about her death, not that I think it's all that important to know the cause of death in this instance. I think it's more relevant that of the 3 deaths we see in the movie, they roughly correspond to the 3 ages of man; child, adult and senior citizen. 🐭
