He wasn't crushed to death because Vincent stopped the crushing before it started. So that leaves either a heart attack or suffocation.

Why would he have a heart attack in the trunk of the car when he didn't have one in a cupboard when he was locked in there overnight?

How would he suffocate? I can't imagine a car being completely airtight that you would be unable to breathe.

So how did he die?

Panic attack may have led to a heart attack.

If he was having a panic attack he'd also be breathing quicker/hyperventilating so this may also have led to him having a medical incident. If the gaffer tape was over his nose & mouth he'd have found it difficult to breathe.

Of course, because the body has not been seen a further recon of the future could see Fatboy escaping & returning some day.

Maybe Fatboy could return and go all Matthew Rose on Ronnie, Vincent and Claudette .

Fatboy somehow got hold of DTC's script for the next episode and died laughing. Vincent was shocked when he saw the script in the boot of the car so had to have it crushed to protect Ronnie from knowing how god awful the following scenes were going to be.

Vincent's reaction suggested that Fatboy's body was crushed.

I think that the reveal of what actually killed Fatboy will be explained next year when Vincent/Claudette tell Ronnie that she killed Fatboy. Vincent will probably reveal that he saw that Fatboy's body was crushed (although oddly there was no blood on Fatboy's chain).

Or maybe Fatboy's eyes were wide open as if frozen in fear...

Hmmm I see a parallel here with Bobby not being told he was responsible for the death of Lucy.

Or like Charlie Cotton he could be just forgotten - paralleling the Charlie Cotton exit although Charlie is apparently still alive but too terrified even to call his grandmother Dot from Ireland or wherever he is supposed to be hiding.

I didn't think of that - the boot didn't seem to be crushed so that might be what happened.

Panic attacks don't work that way.

He can't have been crushed. I don't know why everyone is saying that. Did you all watch the episode? The car was not crushed when Fatboy was in it. It was picked up, yeah. The windows smashed but the boot wasn't touched. Vincent opened it for heaven's sake! I don't know how Fatboy died or even if he's really dead but he was not crushed to death.

Is it even possible to suffocate in a trunk/boot? I have read some things online that said its possible to survive for a long period of time.

It seems part of the car was crushed but I guess it's left up to your imagination.

Perhaps Claudette finished him off with her turkey slicer before having him taken off to the scrapyard?

He took a sniff of some REALLY smelly socks in the boot and suffered radioactive poisoning. What a shitty way to die.

What would happen to the body? Is the car still just hanging up there? Where did the guy who was crushing the car go too?

I assumed one of the grabbing hook things went in the boot and killed him. Vincent didn't checks the body, he knew he was dead as soon as he opened the boot so it was unlikely to be natural causes or Vincent would surely have tried to wake him?

I can well imagine a person that had already been told they were going to the scrapyard to be crushed dying of a heart attack or something when they realised they were in the grip of the crusher.

There is also the possibility that whatever was used to gag him slowly suffocated him or something. At first the banging from the boot was quite frantic, but later it was slower and more subdued, which could suggest Fats was getting weaker.

Actually I'm amazed that the car wasn't taken out of the crush queue anyway ... it was only a '58 plate 350Z (I think) and seemed to be in really good cared-for condition. Surely someone might have thought that it was too good to be destroyed?

It has been known for people to be scared to death, I think that's what how Fatboy died.

Like you I thought that maybe the grabber had pierced part of the boot and killed Fatboy that way.

As for the premise that someone could suffocate in the boot of a car .. just not possible, they're not hermetically sealed! Also - and this is just a general thought and not specific to this particular make and model of car - there's very often access between the boot and the car's cabin, for carrying long items for example.

Anyway, he may not have perished at all. Fatboy, in his panic, could well have broken through to the inside of the car, inadvertently ripping off his chain & medallion in the process. He could then have made good his escape to return again some day, and Vincent's horrified expression was as if to say 'What the ***k? Where'd he go?'

Anything is possible in this day and age of silly storylines!

His corpse still exists so what's happened to that? Unless Vincent has buried him in a shallow grave, that corpse is gonna start making waves pretty soon.

In real life. Albert Square does seem to exist in a parallel universe full of plot holes.
