When You’re Lost in the Darkness (Season 1, Episode 1)

  • Sarah Miller – Shot by a soldier while being carried in her father’s arms.
  • Grandma Adler – Turned into an infected after dying of natural causes.
  • Connie & Danny Adler – Infected/bitten by Grandma Adler.
  • Mercy the Dog (offscreen) – While we never see it happen, it’s highly unlikely that Mercy is still alive by the time-skip occurs.
  • Unnamed Boy – Dies after he has tests run on him.
  • Lee – A FEDRA soldier Joel beats to death.
  • Robert – Shot by a member of the Fireflies.

Infected (Season 1, Episode 2)
