Could Miles Strohm be in the coffin

[misterwic]

I can't recall but I am trying to remember what bit of info we got from the obit that Jack was carrying in last season's finale. Does anyone have a link to the screencap. I have seen it on other boards, but can't find it on here. The little bit that I am remembering was a last name containing "ohn" which could've easily been "ohm" as in Strohm. It also had some info about being born in New York, died in LA. Now we don't know for sure where Miles was born, but I think they are over-emphasizing his east coast attitude as a bit of a clue. Plus the coffin was on the small side, Miles looks like a little guy.

The last name was Lantham.

but he could have an alias - dont see why its not possible.

and we dont know enough about him or his family yet so he could have a son (i think the obit mentioned that too)

The writers keep saying that the coffin was a normal size. I've seen some coffins and they are much bigger than that one. That one is however a very modest one and doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the deluxe models.Whoever it belonged to didn't get the expensive one. Also, they were not cremated, either.Miles is s good a guess as any!

Why would that make Jack cry? I think the one if the coffin has to have somekind of meaning for him. He looked sad at the orbit, he placed his hand on the coffin and then pulled it out later and wanted to jump off a bridge. I just don't think Miles is that "loveable." I am in agreement it's probably Claire. Would explain why Jack is there but Kate who has Aaron wouldn't be.

Hello fellow 253/206er. If it were Claire in the coffin why would jack say neither when asked friend or family?

jacks says 'neither' but goes to the funeral and has that sentimental moment where he puts his hand on the coffin. one doesn't do that unless they had some feeling for the person snoozing inside. however, if claire was in the coffin, i think jack would have been more emotional. i think jack would have reacted the way he did if sawyer or locke were in the coffin, but as far as i can tell, both of them stay on the island.

Maybe Jack said neither because of the fact that he is sticking to the "only 8 people survived the crash" story and Claire is not included in that lie. The sentimental moment could be his inner greif about the whole situation. And Kate could have Aaron because claire was putting him up for adoption anyway, and maybe thats how Ben made the plan be carrie out. After all he is the mastermind behind everything.

As far as we Know Jack does not know that claire is his half sister-
Maby he dosn't find out that Claire is family-Perfect explination

If Claire dies Jack would still be emotional even if he didn't know they were family
(Considering Desmond saw Claire and Aaron get in a helicopter in his vision thingy-I believe Claire gets off the Island)

Well That makes me think that if Claire IS one of the O6, that doeasnt explain why no one was there. Considering how famous Jack and Kate are. You can argue that Syide Isnt well known but I find it hard to believe the women Who had a baby on the island wouldnt have a fan or two...but wait Kate is the one who had the baby. Maybe Tonight we find out Desmond didnt see everything right after all...but it would be a nice twist if claire ends up in the coffin...just my opinion...

Ooh I never thought of Miles! It could be - I mean we still have to find out a lot more about the characters!
