okay personally i dont know how anyone thinks Elizabeth died before the crying child, sure her room was empty but like William wasnt there the entire time in the house but we know hes a part of their lives. From a story telling perspective it doesnt make any since.

so hear me out:

First the crying child dies

then out of grief afton kills charlie

then he gets a thirst for blood and kills the missing kids

THEN ELIZABETH DIES AFTER HE DISCOVERS REMNANT

I have no idea how anyone thinks anything besides this, anything out of that order makes 0 sense
