Runners die...then what?
Ok in the time line it states that living people can become zomibes and are runners. My question is how does this work. if the living zombie is injured to the point of death but the brain is not damaged.
Example: Dad is bitten and becomes a runner. I'm assuming this is along the lines of 28 days later. Then he is shot in the heart and dies. Now I'm also assuming that at this point he becomes a normal slow moving zombie.
Is this right or are runners actually dead too? I'm assuming they are still alive due to the statement that a living person does not have to die to become a zombie. Input?

If the body dies it becomes a crawler. in my mind.
But if the brain is destroyed (so if you shoot it in the head) It dies and stays dead.

Robert has the idea :D
if a human gets infected and doesnt die from the bite, ie just being bit on the arm, they will turn into a runner (basically a crazy human with human frailties). When a runner is killed, as long as the brain is intact they will turn into a shambler. It's all about the brain baby!

Indeed and that is my point.
If the body doesn't die and the 'Virus' drives the mind mad but with others kills them and raises them from the dead.
And makes them invulnerable (In a manor) to all bar a head shot.
Then it stands to reason that if you kill them in a manor leaving their head intact then they will get back up (If they can.)
It also stands to reason that they will tire and slow as well as need to eat and drink meaning that after the first month the runners would cease running and die.
If runners are alive but crazy then it also stands to reason that crawlers may even eat them.
COOKIE'S OR DEATH!!!

Robert, that is the most intelligently constructed sentence I've ever heard you spake/type.
I'm scared that it's about zombies.

Yeah we actually had a discussion on this.
The best thing to do would be to attack the heart to kill the runner, and before it reanimates, destroy the brain.

this site has it's own types of Zombie's.
You can look at them in anyway you like seeing as how they aren't actualy real.
So for instance to me the sites ideas of a Zombie makes sence to me so i beleive that.
Where as the dawn of the dead ones do not, Seeing as how they die then rise and are capeable of coordinated running but cannot climb or open doors... and are also capable of bearing someone to the ground but can't smash Glass?!
but all in all you can beleive or have your own oppinion.
(in case you didn't notece i don't like the dawn of the dead remake...)
