question about the ending - SPOILERS

[deleted]

thanks for replying:).It certainly was a confusing ending.Yeah i think most likely your theory is correct:).

The answer is not as straightforward as that.

Did either of you even consider the fact that the female cop who stupidly shot her husband approached her and apologised to her??
That means that the cop thought she was still alive.

If the cop thought that she was still alive at the end of the movie, then that means that she was still alive when she tried to slit her wrist.
If she had died then and there, the cop would have known about it since she was present at the scene.

Most likely Bryn killed herself the night or a few days after she had witnessed her husband getting shot out of the window. (couldn't bear the grief etc).

The cop would not have been aware of what happened, so the next time she visits Bryn in her apartment she would still think that she was alive.

However,

If we were to go by the possibility that she did die from slitting her wrist:

It's also possible that perhaps she didn't die immediately after slitting her wrist, but gradually as a result of blood loss or whatever. Perhaps by that time the female cop had left the scene and be unaware of what has happened to her since then.

There is also a random possibility that the ghosts-zombie things could have finished the job offscreen.

Either way, it still remains a confusing ending.

I agree with saprater. When the husband falls to his death the wife is seen crying by the window. She survived the first attempt because the husband stopped her before he was shot. That is why the cop thought the wife was still alive at the end of the movie. Unfortunately the wife must of committed suicide after that event. So when the cop saw her at the end of the movie she was a ghost in the Beacon.
