Warning: There are spoilers ahead for From season 3, episode 7, "These Fragile Lives."

A new mystery is introduced in From's monsters.

Jade stumbled upon the cellar in season 1 and experienced a disturbing hallucination that may be connected to what Elgin sees. As for Julie, when she went through one of From's faraway bottles, she ended up in the cellar, where she remained safe during the massacre at Colony House. After a picture of the cellar appeared through the polaroid camera Elgin found, he went to this location and discovered a dead body, whose identity may be important to the show's future.

Elgin Sees A Dead Body In The Root Cellar (But Not The One Jade Found)

The Two Corpses Have Distinct Differences

Elgin eventually finds a bearded corpse covered by a blanket in the cellar's back room. Given the heavily decomposed state of the body and Elgin's disgusted reaction to its smell, the corpse had likely been in the cellar for a long time, probably many years before Elgin arrived in Town. This body is not the same as the one Jade saw in the cellar during From season 1, as that individual had been crushed by a boulder, was wearing different clothing, was clean-shaven, and was nowhere near as decomposed.

The body Jade saw looked at him and screamed, whereas the body Elgin found did no such thing. More than one person has seemingly died in the cellar, although it is possible that the body Jade saw was never physically there, as both the boulder and the corpse were gone when he later returned with Kenny Liu (Ricky He). This was also the first time Jade saw From's mysterious symbol, while the dead body Elgin found is connected to the skeletal woman wearing the kimono.

The Kimono Woman Will Solve The Dead Body's Mystery

It Is The Key To A Different Mystery

After discovering the corpse, Elgin also sees the kimono woman in the cellar. He begins to ask her if this is where something happens. This suggests that the kimono woman already told Elgin enough information that he knows how this person died and why they are stuck in the back room of the cellar. She has been cryptic whenever she speaks or appears before Elgin, but he finally seems to understand how she wants him to help her, which is connected to the mysterious corpse.

As a former resident, the deceased may be able to provide further insight into the Town's past during From season 3's final episodes.

While From has no shortage of mysteries, this latest one seems crucial to answering the long-running mystery of the kimono woman. The deceased is likely not a character who has already been introduced, but is someone connected to the kimono woman's origins, and why she has needed Elgin to help her. As a former resident, the deceased may be able to provide further insight into the Town's past during From season 3's final episodes.
