Travis Manawa suffered a fatal injury when he was shot through the stomach during a perilous helicopter journey in Fear the Walking Dead. This critical wound led directly to his demise.
The Critical Wound
During an attack on the helicopter he was aboard, Travis sustained a severe injury. He was struck by gunfire, with the bullet piercing his abdomen. The projectile passed entirely through his stomach, exiting near his neck.
- Injury Type: Gunshot wound
- Entry Point: Stomach
- Exit Point: Neck area
- Consequence: Immediate and severe internal bleeding
This traumatic injury caused rapid blood loss, leaving him critically wounded and bleeding to death.
Aftermath and Fate
The severity of the stomach wound, combined with the other injuries, meant Travis was dying rapidly. Rather than succumb to the injuries and the inevitable reanimation into a walker, Travis made a tragic decision. Before the helicopter crashed, and to prevent himself from turning, he fell from the helicopter, dying from the impact. This pivotal moment occurs during his journey, as detailed in events surrounding "The New Frontier" episode, where other survivors like Victor Strand were dealing with refugees at a hotel.
The sequence of events leading to Travis's death can be further explored in the history of Fear the Walking Dead, particularly the third season, which drastically altered the group's dynamic.
