‘The Walking Dead’ Season 6 Spoilers: Evidence that You Know Who is NOT Dead

*Spoilers Alert*

In last week's episode of "The Walking Dead," fans watched as one of their favorite characters, Glenn (Steven Yeun), died...or so they thought.

Ever since the supposed death seen aired, with Nicholas (Michael Traynor) accidentally pulling Glenn into the hoard of walkers after shooting himself in the head and causing the walkers to eat Glenn's intestines, fans have remained in denial. According to them, Nicholas fell on top of Glenn and as the walkers eat Nicholas' body, Glenn will have time to hide under the same dumpster that they were standing on top of before the whole mess started.

Somehow, Glenn will miraculously survive. Even though it seems like it will be very hard for Glenn to survive, there is some sort of evidence that our favorite pizza delivery boy does exactly that.

First off, fans already know that Yeun is not leaving the show. On the actor's IMDB page, he is listed for the entire season. Even though the creator of the show, Scott M. Gimple, has stated that we will still see Glenn in some form throughout the season, photo evidence suggest that Glenn will very much be alive. What may be dead, however, is his soul.

In the photograph, Glenn is wearing new and clean clothing while he stands next to Darryl (Norman Reedus), Abraham (Michael Dudlitz) and exciting new character, Paul "Jesus" Morgan! The fact that Jesus (Tom Payne) is in the scene shows that this is definitely not a flashback. There is a small chance that Glenn could be a vision.

There is also this picture that shows Glenn in a scene with Darryl and Jesus.

Aside from the picture, producer David Alpert spoke with Variety about the death scene. Alpert hinted that the old Glenn, the one who always gave people a second chance, might be dead.

"I think that part of what that scene is about is the violence inflicted on Glenn, but from a bigger perspective, I think it's really about his interactions with Nicholas," Alpert said. "He has forgiven and embraced and given Nicholas every opportunity in the show to do the right thing, and almost at every point along the way, has paid the price for it. I feel like, regardless of what happened to Glenn, he paid a tremendous price for having been human to Nicholas, and that, to me, from an emotional point-of-view - whether or not Glenn is alive or dead or something else - the Glenn that we knew, the one that believed in the better side of humanity, I think is dead."

The Hollywood Reporter added that Yeun recently signed a new deal to remain on the AMC show. Glenn's future, however, remains very bleak, especially with the introduction of Negan, one of the worst villains that Rick's group will come across.

According to THR, Negan will most likely be introduced in the season 6 finale. For those of you who do not know, in the comics, Negan beats Glenn to death. The death is a huge part of the comics and it would be hard to believe that the producers will not recreate it on the show. Casting for the character is reportedly underway.

"The Walking Dead" airs on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET on AMC.
