Movie Deaths That Were Never Actually Explained

Death is as commonplace in film as green screens and fake facial hair. But in some cases, there's a lot of confusion surrounding the death of a character. From mysterious disappearances to off-screen mortalities, these movie deaths were never truly explained.

In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Sean Connery didn't return as Professor Henry Jones, though he'd proven a welcome addition to the Indy franchise in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

We don't get a lot of information on how Professor Jones died, but Indy confirms it in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull while looking at a photograph of his father on his desk.

We're apparently meant to assume Henry died of natural causes, but the events of The Last Crusade beg for a more specific explanation. In the film, the villainous Walter Donovan shoots Indy's father, leaving the Holy Grail as Henry's only possible salvation. Indy finds the Grail, heals Henry's wound with it, and has him drink from the cup. Earlier in the movie, we're told the knights who discovered the Grail were alive 150 years after finding it, meaning the artifact bestows longer life. Taking one little drink might not grant Henry 150 more years, but it seems reasonable to assume it'd give him at least a little more time than expected. Perhaps offscreen he went on another adventure with Indy that he shouldn't have?
