Living Death

From Farscape Encyclopedia Project

The "Living Death" is caused by one of the major Sebacean weaknesses, their vulnerability to heat. Being exposed to too much heat can cause Heat Delirium, which is the first stage of the living death. From what we hear in the series, the living death is perhaps best described to be a "zombie"-like state, where all higher brain functions have been shut down and only the body lives on. Similar to "brain death".

[edit] Occurrences

None. Aeryn Sun had gotten close, but was brought her back before it could occur. A few cycles later, Aeryn was in a similar far-progressed state of Heat Delirium (only not naturally caused, this was by a highly advanced virus created by beings who wanted her to stand on trial), but Scorpius saved her by giving her a similar cooling suit as he.
