2 months after the finale it emerged that Daniel had donated the entire £100m to a cancer charity that had just been set up - in response to the untimely passing of Daniel's wife, Marie, who died just 3 days after Daniel's triumph. The media interest in the final 5 was beginning to dwindle and even in spite of their go-to fame***** Cassie D, the British public were largely losing interest in these historic figures. As the killer, Joshua had himself received numerous death threats and had survived 4 assassination attempts so far.

On January 4 the five, who had surprisingly kept in contact with each other after their terrible ordeal, agreed to meet up at the compound, which had been again abandoned for the Christmas holidays. Daniela linked arms with Zak, and their closeness after the show's close was the source of several relationship rumours, as they walked solemnly to the In Cold Blood headquarters


No attempt had been made to restore the Rae wing, which had been decimated by the explosion which killed its eponymous charascter, but the group opted to meet in the middle room that connected the five wings. Their walk was quiet and their footsteps heavy.

Once in the middle, the five sat in a circle and placed Daniel's portfolio of the deceased into the middle of them. Caleb glanced over the names of Rae, Enigma and Janelle with an overwhelming sense of shame and spoke out loud.
"Let's just do this."
The others nodded in silence as Joshua took a revolver from his pocket - and instantly shot himself. Caleb then took the pistol and joined his brother in some other-worldly hell - and one by one the finalists went the same way as Melena, Enigma, Benny, John, Sam, Jasmine, Janelle, Martha and Rae.

In response to the aftermath the producers agreed it would be the first and the last series of In Cold Blood. A huge public outcry followed the suicide pact that quickly led to the reversal of the 2068 Suicide Act. Never again would the world be subjected to such a morally corrupt and tragic gameshow - and the prompt arrest of the producers was greeted warmly. Their trial is still ongoing, yet many of their critics ironically cry for the death penalty - but only these 15 brave contestants can vouch for the fact that nothing, at all, is worth dying for.
