How did Sass die in Ghosts? Mysteries around the character's fate, explored 

Ghosts, as the title suggests, depicts several ghosts from various eras who have lived in the house and died. A new guest ventured into the house and, as one of them experienced a near-death incident, was bestowed with the ability to see these ghosts. This becomes a major turning point in the CBS comedy drama Ghosts.

The show comes with several mysteries. One of them is the death of Sasappis, a Lenape Native American ghost. Unlike other main characters whose deaths have been revealed, such as Hetty's suicide or Flower's bear attack, Sasappis's demise has not been disclosed on the show. This has led to various fan theories, including one suggesting he might have been bitten by a venomous snake, which he concealed with his clothing, similar to a storyline in the BBC version of Ghosts.

Read on to dive deeper into what killed Sass in Ghosts.

How did Sass die in Ghosts? Speculations explored

The show reveals the reasons behind the death of all the ghost characters, some of which are equally hilarious. Flower died because she attempted to hug a bear while she was high. Similarly, Trevor died of a heart attack following an overdose at the party. Isaac, on he other hand, was a soldier and he died of dysentery during the war. Likewise, almost every ghost character has a dying story, but Sass's story is still a mystery in the show.

As a result, some fans speculate on the possible reasons behind his death. Sass also doesn't have any physical marks of injury on his body. There's no outward clue like blood or wounds on his ghostly form, which adds to the mystery. This lack of clarity about his death has become a point of curiosity for viewers. Therefore, according to fans, it could be a brain aneurysm or a disease contracted from Western settlers. But his death is ultimately left open to interpretation.

What did the Showrunner say about Sass's death in Ghosts?

Sasappis finds himself alone after his death, and here he meets Thorfinn, a warrior ghost. They began to form a bond, setting up the foundation for ghostly friendships. Season 3 revealed that Sass has some unique powers to enter the mind of living beings and alter their dreams. This helps him to be someone he could never be when he was alive- a storyteller.

In Season 4, co-showrunner Joe Port hinted while speaking with TV Line that Sasappis's death might be explored, stating they have "something that we like" regarding his backstory, though nothing is confirmed yet.

"We’ve been talking a lot about [revealing the cause of] Sas’ death, and we have something that we like. I wouldn’t be surprised if we got into that [next] season."

Sass is among the oldest souls in the mansion, and the extent of history and unique stories the show can explore with the particular character is fascinating. Sass's unique powers, any hidden mark or injury, could be a sign suggesting his past story, but for now, no clue has been explicitly presented to confirm the same.
