Weeeell, I'm sticking to the theory that DL faked his death to avoid involving Niki and Micah in any fallout from killing Linderman. He did rather grusomely murder one of the most notorious and richest men in the country, and probably got caught on tape doing it. That tends to make family life difficult.:) This is a show based on comics, so the no body, no death rule still applies.

Thanks!
