Close-up screencap of Jack's newspaper article (obituary?)

Hey there, all! I found this link online I know you'll love. Check it out:

What I can make out:

>Los Angeles
>
>Man Found...[Dead?]...Downtown [Loft?]
>
>The body of ...[L?]antham of New York was...[found?]...shortly after 4 a.m. in the...of Grand Avenue.
>
>Tod...man[?] at The Tower...[heard the sound?] of loud noises...[from Lantham's?] loft. Connected... covered the...a beam in the....[ac?]cording.....[?]med...

It's hard to match up the lines of text, but I'm pretty sure about the name Lantham. I don't think it's the obit of a Lostie/Other. I think someone we haven't met yet was killed by a Lostie/Other or died as a result of the actions of a Lostie/Other. The guy Sawyer mistakenly killed in Australia just before the crash, he was American. Was he from NY? The Tower could be Trump Tower in Columbus Circle. Of course, it doesn't have to be NYC at all...

Also, I think we've been misjudging the temporal disruptions on the island. At least, I have. It's not that they've been on the island a whole lot longer than they think, but the opposite! Maybe by the time they return to civilization they've only been gone a week and that guy's body has only just been discovered? That could explain why Richard hasn't aged. If so, "Adam and Eve" could actually be THE Adam and Eve. Creepy.

i heard from another site that the full name on the newspaper clipping is john lantham. could john locke have changed his name after leavin the island?

Yes,i think the dead man is Locke.

Hmph, maybe it's a trick from the writers, but really is Micheal. But i rather not be Micheal since he would be featured in season 4 anyway. I wonder if Jack ends up meeting Micheal in a flash forward.

So many people on this site have been really great about spotting anagrams on the show (the name of the funeral parlor as an anagram for "Flash Forward," for instance); what about the name "John Lantham." Ok smarties, figure it out and get back to me. I'm just reading the Sunday Times so I have time....

What is this a picture of? Is it Lock's drivers license and registration? What episode was it? And why is "Jonathan" spelled with an "h" in it? I'm thinking it's a screen-cap that's been doctored, or maybe not a real screen-cap at all, since the name is most likely misspelled. Thoughts?

In the "flash forward" Jack says to the chief of surgery, (i forget his name) "If I'm drunker than my father is right now you can fire me." Jack's father has been dead so is this really a flash forward??

When i read this my mouth dropped...
It's a very good idea because of the populare idea that Kate is out of prison with a new identity which is to make her say nothing about the island. It is likely if this is true that it really could be Locke!!

But a thread somewhere found the measurements of the coffin and show it is too small for an adult with legs... Wierd but I can see Locke having his legs chopped off somewhere along the line.

One last thing... yanksfan75 i noticed too but i missed a few episodes in series one didn't Jack's dad disapear from his coffin and be seen walking what if the island brought him back and it was his living dad walking again. Just an idea...

Jacob in the coffin: interesting connection --- this is an iteresting thread too.
