Death's list is the set of people who are meant to die under Death's design, a plan which apparently regulates the events and ultimate demise of everyone in the world. If someone deviates from or "cheats" the death that is set for them, Death will then create a new design and come back for them, usually leaving them in the worst, bloody, and painful way possible.

If multiple people escape their intended deaths, then Death will kill them in the order they were meant to die in originally, though it can deviate from this rule in multiple ways:

  • Intervention: Occurs when someone intervenes in one's death, saving them. If the interventionist is another survivor on Death's list, the person who was saved may be skipped, allowing Death to target the next person on the list.
  • Self-Intervention: Occurs when someone on Death's list manages to save themselves from dying. Depending on the timing of the intervention and whether or not the person was warned by someone else on Death's list, the person may cheat Death and therefore be skipped, allowing Death to target the next person on the list.
  • Preventing the Disaster From Occurring or Taking Lives: Occurs when someone on Death's list manages to somehow stop a disaster from occurring or somehow removes those on Death's list from the situation. Depending if the situation was truly avoided death or was a set-up, those on Death's list who were intended to die may be skipped.
  • Cheating Death Permanently: Using the rule that "only new life beats Death", one can cheat Death for good by either dying and then being revived or giving birth to a child that was never meant to be born. However, this only exempts the person cheating, and any other people still on the list will still be targeted. One can also cheat by causing the death of someone who was not meant to die and taking their lifespan, allowing them to live until the day the decedent was meant to die.

  1. 1.0 1.1 Initially, Alex would have sat closer to the Flight 180 explosion. But, because Alex didn't exactly changed seats with Christa Marsh and Blake Dreyer like he would have in the premonition, Death treated as if Alex had stayed in his original seat. This inadvertently made Alex switch his original position on Death's list with Clear.
  2. Depending on how you view it, Shaina, Frankie, and Dano may have not been part of the list. While they survived the initial pileup, they still died after being struck by a car hauler and were counted as casualties in the pileup, while Kimberly would've killed this way too if it weren't for Thomas, who intervened at the last moment and pulled her out of the way.
  3. 3.0 3.1 The oxygen explosion that kills Eugene and Clear also sends a trolley flying towards Thomas and Kimberly. During that time, Thomas is shown slightly closer to the door than Kimberly. If it weren't for each of them pulling the other down before being hit by the trolley, both Thomas and Kimberly would of died.
  4. There has been much confusion to whether Kimberly and Thomas actually died. In an alternate ending of Final Destination 3, the two were shown to have died in a newspaper article, though the information shown in this ending is not confirmed to be canonical.
  5. While it is assumed that Wendy avoided her death by saving herself from being hit by fireworks, an alternate theory postulates that she was unintentionally saved by Ian McKinley, who stopped her from reaching the first aid tent and getting in the way of the cherry picker, which was initially supposed to crush her. After all, this would explain the clue of the McKinley Grad Night shirt, as it would hint to both Ian and the cherry picker.
  6. Within the novelization of Final Destination 3, Wendy realizes that she would die after noticing the reflection of herself matching her photo of herself on a balloon during the chaos at the McKinney Tricentennial. The photo shows her holding Jason with a dark background behind them. During this time, she was holding an injured Kevin during the night. At the result of her realization, she looked around and realized the wind moving and the fireworks going off. Had she not, the firework that damaged the cherry picker that crushed Ian would have hit her. The novelization, although not canon, is based on an earlier draft of the film. Thus, this may or may not be intended.
  7. 7.0 7.1 7.2 There is a lot of doubt as to whether or not the last three survivors died in the Train 081 derailment, as their deaths only occurred in a premonition and the ending to the film was left ambiguous. Though the derailment likely occurred as shown, it's possible that the three were able to mitigate its effects and avoid their deaths altogether.
  8. 8.0 8.1 8.2 When Nick and the other survivors left the speedway before the McKinley Speedway disaster occurred, Jonathan was able to sit in his original seat. Thus, he able to avoid getting crushed by Car 11 and managed lived long enough to be placed after Janet and Hunt on the list.
  9. 9.0 9.1 9.2 9.3 9.4 There is contention on whether or not Janet and Lori's deaths in the Springfield Centre Mall were actually avoided or not, as the premonition they were shown in was revealed to be a feint made by Death. Additionally, Janet's death in the premonition would've broken Death's rules, as it occurred out of order, though this could be explained if she survived long enough after being impaled for Lori and Nick to die first. However, the only way the death order in the end could be explained is if Nick saved himself and Lori from an unknown death, allowing the list to cycle back and restart with Janet.
  10. In Dead Reckoning, Macy manages to avoid dying multiple times throughout the remainder of the novel. Somehow, these interventions don't allow her to be skipped.
  11. 11.0 11.1 11.2 11.3 11.4 11.5 In the End of the Line, Danny saved each of the remaining survivors from the MRI scanner in the exact order that they would have died in.
  12. There is a major discrepancy in that Brian Gibbons is claimed to have been a survivor of a disaster called the Lakeview fire, even though he is explicitly shown to have died after Rory Peters intervened in his planned death after a car crash involving the survivors of the Route 23 pileup, which occurred two years before the Lakeview fire. This is most likely a mistake by the prop designers, and the most plausible explanation is that the two Brian Gibbonses are entirely different people who cheated different deaths years apart.
