Isaac Confirmed Dead In Train Crash
The first confirmed death in the show is Isaac. The story had resumed immediately after the train derailment. And characters regained consciousness and had to face the reality of the casualties.

But despite their efforts, they struggle with timing, access and trapped passengers.
Medical danger has increased for those who are trapped. It’s because injuries that may have been survivable can worsen over time. Dana was the one who found out first that Isaac was dead. She even checked his pulse and found he was not breathing.
In other places, people are still being found and brought out of the destruction. Elsewhere, viewers in different countries may see episodes at different points. It means some deaths that are discussed online might already have aired elsewhere. For the 2026 season, Isaac is the only confirmed casualty of the train crash, while others remain in peril.
