Richards is on guard duty as Deanna and Maggie are digging, working on an aspect of the town's expansion. Moments later, a Molotov cocktail is thrown at him by a member of the Wolves. He falls off the wall and burns to death as several Wolves start to climb up. A while later, his charred body reanimates and is stabbed through the head by Maggie.

"Now"[]

The next day, Richards' body is gathered by Tobin and Bruce and buried along with the other slain Alexandrians. His name is then added to the memorial wall by Betsy and two other women.

Trivia[]

  • Richards was portrayed by Darian Fisher while Dalton Louis Simons portrayed the charred, reanimated Richards.
    • A second actor was used to portray the charred, reanimated Richards due to time constraints in filming Fisher's scenes and then getting him ready in full makeup and prosthetics for the latter scene.
  • Not all of the scenes involving Richards made it into the final episode including when he was standing at the top of the wall, listening to the Wolves attack Alexandria and having Molotov cocktails thrown at him.[1]
