| Life's a bitch!
|
John is a character in the film Final Destination 5. He is an employee at Presage Paper and a friend and co-worker of Roy Carson and Nathan Sears. While attending a memorial for the former, the bar he is in collapses when a piece of landing gear from Volée Airlines Flight 180 lands on top of it. It is unknown whether or not he survived this.
History
John is first seen before Nathan leaves for the company retreat. Roy is agitated that Nathan is taking some free days, and it causes an argument between them that almost ended in a fight. Fortunately, Sam Lawton and John intervene in time. Nathan is stopped by Sam while John tries to calm an angry Roy, and assures Nathan that they can continue in their work for a few days without him.
Not long after the death of Roy in a freak accident intended for Nathan, John attends a memorial for Roy at the Cocktails Bar. Nathan is also in attendance, seemingly feeling guilty for having 'robbed' Roy of his life. John thanks Nathan for attending, despite the animosity between him and Roy.
He then goes on to note the irony of Roy's death, as the autopsy conducted on his corpse had revealed that Roy was suffering from an enlarged blood vessel in his brain, which would soon burst and kill him "any day now". As Nathan questions the sincerity of this fact, John jokes that "Life's a Bitch".
John walks away, and as Nathan begins to question whether or not he truly has escaped death, the landing gear from Flight 180 crashes through the ceiling, and onto Nathan, killing him, with John and the others possibly living.
