If he was executed, it's unusual that it would happen within a year. Manfred was old; he could have easily died of natural causes like a heart attack. Since he had a nervous breakdown in court, I wouldn't put suicide past him either.

Even if he was still alive in JFA, he's definitely dead by T&T, because Phoenix draws a parallel between her and Maya having both lost a parent (iirc...)

There would also be "no way to bring him back" if he had a life sentence with no chance of parole, so that's still an option. (...I like to think of him being executed, though, personally.)

I vote for the natural causes theory. Or murdered in prison, which is quite likely given his record as a prosecutor.

While I'm also of the opinion that Manfred is dead, we have no proof that he was executed this quickly. After all, how many years was it from conviction to execution for Dahlia? Certainly more than a mere two.
I'll always love you, Max.

I think it is just up to interpretation, and the time of the execution date varies by case. Either that, or the 2016fuckedupfictional!California law says to be lenient on girls. Dahlia and Manfred directly murdered the same amount of people (two), but Dahlia's execution was stated in clear detail. Terry Fawles "murdered" one person, and was sitting on Death Row for five years before being accused of a second murder. Joe Darke "killed" about six people before he was convicted, but he was dead in two years.
So... who knows. Don't look for consistency here.

But the fact that Darke was executed in two years shows it's possible in their legal system to be executed pretty quickly. I wasn't saying that he was definitely executed >_>

I think that Manfred killed himself anyway because he's no longer perfect D=

And that Terry Fawles was on death row for 5 years (iirc) before the trial.
In actual life, doesn't it take about 5-7 years to make sure that there's time for new evidence to unearth?

Real court procedure doesn't mean much in this case. And there is the issue of whether or not the prisoner in question was trying to appeal. Terry always maintained his innocence, and Dahlia might have tried stalling her execution with good behavior or court appeals. Manfred on the other hand confessed, and seemed willing to accept his fate. Maybe that's why his execution came so swiftly--maybe he asked for it?

That sounds about right. He devoted his whole life to his perfectionist ways. Having all that taken away in 1-4, he had nothing else to live for and requested an immediate death penalty.

I always though he was dead by JFA, and was reference in T&T for new players. All other theories aside, I think one of the people he sent to the smaller could have killed him there, but then again, heartattack, suicide, execution, spazattack is all possibilities aswell.
