He then locks Liam and Jenny in a room. Liam is bleeding pretty badly. They end up being locked in that room for quite some time. Jenny makes sure Liam is applying pressure to his wound. At one point, when Jenny turns to look at him, Liam begins talking to her.

Liam tells Jenny that he's mad at himself for the drinking. Liam even tells Jenny that he loves her. Donovon finally shows up, and Jenny tells him that they have Aaron.

When she goes to check on Liam, it looks like it's too late. She sits down beside him and wraps her arm around him. When Jenny gets home, Peggy (Jennifer Dale) is there, and from the look on Jenny's face, it would seem that Liam died. However, Jenny doesn't say anything, so it's not clear exactly clear if he's alive or not.

Fans will have to wait until Season 4 of Coroner to find out if Liam is still alive.
