If you just watched the last episode of True Blood you know that Andy Bellefleur, Sookie, and Tara find what appears to be a dead body in the backseat of Andy’s car. What we, the audience, see is the foot of an African-American man. With red nail polish.

Since we saw Lafayette painting his nails red in Episode 11 titled “To Love Is To Bury“, AND since we know that Lafayette got attacked while taking out the garbage at Merlotte’s, we assume it’s his body in Andy’s car.

If we’re correct it means that someone (or someTHING) killed Lafayette.

So, who do you think attacked him?

If you’re interested in learning more about Lafayette’s attack you’ll need to read the second book in the Sookie Stackhouse series titled Living Dead in Dallas. This is a great book that provides backstory on some of the characters that the HBO series might not reveal.

Lafayette was hands-down one of the most likable characters on the show. He was a great observer of life and wasn’t afraid to speak his mind. The actor, Nelsan Ellis, did a great job bringing his character to life. Season 2 won’t be the same without him.
