Of course he must likely be dead considering the amount of blood on the door BUT taking that his death was so lamely and stupidly done he better not be dead, because it would just ruin something that was once a good series. I will never buy it that a crazy psychiatrist may kill a handsome boy with a bat nor would I believe that Freddie wouldn't even try to push him down stairs though he could have easily done it. The writers didn't even do a decent job "killing" him. Freddie's "death" brought nothing into the show, it was done due to shock the audience, but instead the audience keeps laughing at the stupidity of it. So if the movie will be done Freddie is better be alive because any other way I personally wouldn't give a damn. The writers made a mistake and it is up to them to fix it.

Also we saw no body. No body = no death, the law of tv. No matter what any of the writers said, they left it open, because if they wanted to make his death a sure thing they'd show his funeral.

i aggree...it was mistake to kill Freds
