Question- Can someone tell me how did Walts Mother die again???
What I recall, she was speaking to Bryan and Walt was trying to get his parents attention - the bird he was reading about in a book slammed into the sliding glass doors and dies.. then his mother starts to feel sick. Did she get a nose bleed? I can't remember.. what stuck in my mind was the ceiling in their home it looked like a dharma logo!

She died of "a blood disorder."

Susan Lloyd's page on Lostpedia (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Susan)

Huh. I just noticed that her name Susan...A Chronicles of Narnia name. Island connection?

Walt's page which details their story pre-crash (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Walt)

Her second husband Brian Porter (http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Brian_Porter)

thank you!
I"m going to go back and watch the episode and see if she had a nose bleed or something.. I think she and Brian could be connected to the island..the ceiling in their house says something..

They also seemed to have a lot of money. Maybe Susan and/or Brian worked as part of the Widmore or Ben island conspiracy groups...or, as you said, were connected with Dharma.

It makes sense to me that somehow, like many of our characters, Walt had some pre-crash tie to the island...and maybe it was his mom.

yes they did, I recall Susan paying for Michael's hopsital stay.. plus that house was huge!!! I wonder who Brian and Susan really are??? I hope this is something they explore a little more because there has to be something there. Do you recall back in season 2 when Shannon saw Walt, Walt must have been time travelling- he appeared as the others did.. remember they don't leave foot prints..
