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 you did not like the DotD remake check out the Day of the dead remake. The zombies crawl on the ceiling.

Please don't mention the Day of the Dead remake..... The Dawn remake was at least great........ The Day one....unacceptable.

To be a zombie in the "normal" sense yes you have to die but I think I get the progression now. The ones that become the runners are not actually zombies and are more like the 28 days later "zombies". They are alive but insane to the point of being feral. But when they are killed by any means other then a head shot they come back as a "true" zombie.

Well acorsing to the 28 days rules the zombies aren't zombies there just infected with pure rage not the t,z,r,or compaing virus there just feral soo the runner in 28 days dies then stays dead this rule is also exibited in left for dead. But by most other zombie rules I think the runner dies then becomes a true zombie this a very good rule used In zombieland the double tap 1 in the heart and another in the brain

Perhaps in the original, but in the remake, they do not die, necessarily, before coming back. I think the husband/boyfriend of the blond girl in the movie became a zombie without dying.

The rule I plan to use is that the runners become walkers upon death. Why should someone infected with the virus be spared being a zed after death just because it drove them made before they died.

Actually yes he did die in Dotd 04. He bleed out after being bitten. When she is saying "I can't get it" and pinching at his neck she was trying to pinch off the artery. This a medical "trick" to stop arterial bleeding in an emergancy situation but in a case like the one she was in it wold not have been enough anyway.
