Lisa was not murdered.
It's official, straight from Masahiro Ito's fingertips: On his Twitter account he explained that Lisa died of an overdose, presumably deliberately, shortly before the beginning of SILENT HILL, and that she was not murdered by M. Kaufmann.

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
He murdered her by giving her the drugs, though.

Drug dealers aren't murderers because their clients overdose.
Lisa overdosed. Probably intentionally. That's suicide, not murder.
. . . For anyone thinking they're serious.

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
I'm pretty ignorant about overdose deaths (And LOTS of other things) but... Why all the blood?? I'd understand blood coming from her nose but what about her eyes and forehead?? White Claudia must be real serious shit...

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
^ I thought that was because she was becoming something like the other nurses of the hospital and not the drugs?

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
Hmm... I thought her death would play again after she realized she isn't alive...So all the blood and everything would make her body like it would look in reality...

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
Lisa died of an overdose shortly before SILENT HILL began.
However, it is possible her spirit, or whatever it is, the Lisa we see in the game, was parasitized like the other doctors and nurses. I find it entirely unlikely that Lisa in-game is a manifestation of Alessa. It doesn't add up in the slightest.
I suspect she overdosed at home, probably after writing her last diary entry, "Need drug," and, like the others who were drawn into Alessa's Otherworld, found herself in the hospital, like Lisa says. The fact is that everybody we encounter in SILENT HILL is a real person, the doctors and nurses included, and so I find it ridiculous to assume Lisa happens to be anything else. Granted, she's dead before the game begins, but, as SILENT HILL 3 illustrates, ghosts can find themselves trapped in the Otherworld as well.

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
Interesting. I always thought Lisa's revenge on Kaufmann in the end was a result of him killing her. If Lisa died of suicide, then how do we explain the ending?

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
This is something that I've thought about quite a bit, and I suppose it's possible that Lisa may have blamed him for her addiction and death because he was the one supplying her. She seems to have an easily influenced personality, so it's all someone else's fault. You've probably known people like that in real life, eh?R08813 wrote:Interesting.

But Lisa still wasn't a typical puppet nurse, though.
The above user visits this forum *very infrequently.* If you need any type of response or answer from her, she may or may not be able to provide it in a timely manner.

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
He pretty much forced her into a nightmare of drug-induced slavery for the sake of tending Alessa. I'd say she has plenty reason to want payback even if he didn't outright murder her.

I still adamantly disagree. No other explanation is both consistent and logical with the rest of the narrative.

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
Assuming she wasn't just a mindless monster who grabbed onto the closest person she could find, I'd say she was probably still angry with him for getting her hooked on drugs, using her, and forcing her to look after Alessa. Kaufmann may not have killed her, but he was still responsible for her overdose; she probably wouldn't have killed herself if it hadn't been for Kaufmann, Alessa, and the drugs.R08813 wrote:Interesting.

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
Drug dealers are not responsible for the people who use drugs to kill themselves, or if they inadvertently overdose on that drug. With Lisa's overdose, M.K. is not culpable for her death. He's responsible for giving her the drugs, but that's about it.
When Ali killed herself, I didn't blame the doctor who gave her the drugs.

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
Judging from Origins, Kaufmann helped to get Lisa hooked on the drugs. She was a young and impressionable teenager whereas he was an adult doctor who should know and act better. If he hadn't given her the drugs in the first place then she probably wouldn't have become addicted etc, and then probably wouldn't have eventually killed herself via overdose. While he may not have directly killed her or forced her to overdose, he still does play a part in her death. It's not like Kaufmann was some random dealer Lisa found in a back alleyway somewhere. If that were the case, then I'd kinda agree that he didn't have as much responsibility for her death (can't completely agree on principle because I believe drug dealers should be held accountable for any deaths that occur from the use of their "products"). Besides all that, he did make Lisa look after Alessa, which screwed Lisa up even more. In this he is also responsible for her death because not only did he provide the way in which she would kill herself, but some of the motivation in doing it as well.The Adversary wrote:Drug dealers are not responsible for the people who use drugs to kill themselves, or if they inadvertently overdose on that drug.

As for your friend; I'm sorry to hear about her, but I can't really comment as I don't know the details of what happened.

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
Do not pretend that Lisa was a saint because she wasn't. Many weak minds do this sort of thing but that's still not an excuse. It was her own fault that she died.

Re: Lisa was not murdered.
I'm not pretending she was a saint. I don't actually recall saying that she is, or that she's completely blameless. I'm merely explaining how and why Kaufmann was also responsible, thus giving a reason as to why she dragged him away at the end of the game. Doing so doesn't take away any of Lisa's responsibility or make her a blameless victim. She could have chosen other options, but she chose the easy way out.Mephisto wrote:Do not pretend that Lisa was a saint because she wasn't.
