No, it is never explicitly shown or stated in the series that Karen finds out Freddie died.
While the exact nature of Freddie's disappearance remains ambiguous to his family, Karen does possess a strong sense that something is seriously wrong.
Karen's Awareness of Freddie's Disappearance
Karen, Freddie's sister, is aware that his sudden absence is not a typical departure. Her suspicions are rooted in several key observations:
- Left Belongings: Freddie left behind many of his personal items, including his favorite t-shirt and the bag he had prepared for when he was actually going to leave.
- Out-of-Character Behavior: This act of abandoning his possessions was highly uncharacteristic for Freddie, signaling to Karen that his departure was not voluntary or planned by him.
| Aspect of Freddie's Disappearance | Karen's Understanding |
|---|---|
| Something bad happened | Yes, strongly suspected |
| Left personal items behind | Yes, noted as unusual |
| Disappearance was out of character | Yes, indicated by items left |
| Freddie died | Not explicitly shown or stated |
Lack of Confirmation Regarding His Death
Despite Karen's deep concern and her knowledge that something untoward occurred, the narrative does not confirm that she, or even Freddie's father, ever comes to know or speculate that Freddie was murdered. The series intentionally leaves the family's direct knowledge of his ultimate fate unaddressed. This narrative choice contributes to the lingering sense of loss and uncertainty for the characters left behind, emphasizing the impact of such an unresolved disappearance.
