Alex Browning survives the plane crash in the first Final Destination , but he is later killed off-screen before Final Destination 2.

What happened

The sequel reveals that Alex died a few months after Carter’s death when a brick fell from a building and hit him while he was walking with Clear.

In the first movie

  • Alex has the premonition about Flight 180.
  • He warns the others, and several people get off the plane.
  • He survives the immediate disaster, but Death keeps targeting the survivors afterward.

Why people get confused

The second movie only shows Alex’s fate in a brief reference, so many viewers miss it on first watch. The original ending ideas also changed during development, which added to the confusion around his character.

If you want, I can also explain how Alex’s death connects to the series timeline.
