Here is the Black Mirror “Loch Henry” ending explained. This is what happened to the character who tripped and fell while being chased. For those wondering if they died, here’s what you need to know. Spoilers ahead!
How did Pia die in the Black Mirror “Loch Henry” episode?
Pia died in Black Mirror by falling while crossing a stream. As she fell, Pia smashed her head on a rock.
Though it isn’t explicitly confirmed, Pia’s body looks lifeless as it is floating downstream. She is also missing from the rest of the episode, so it’s not like she was found and recovered. Finally, when Davis is given his award, his “late girlfriend” is also mentioned.
Early into the episode, Davis mentions how hikers underestimate the harsh environment, leading to them going missing. This foreshadows Pia’s stumble and fall, as she tries to navigate the rocky terrain in the dark.
While Janet doesn’t directly kill Pia, her actions do force Pia to hide in a dangerous spot. If Janet wasn’t chasing her, Pia would have stayed on the main road and may have survived.
Janet doesn’t see where Pia went and presumably thinks that she has escaped. This could be the final straw that leads Janet to commit suicide, as she wants to go out on her own terms instead of having the police take her away. The irony is that, if she had known about Pia’s death, Janet could have destroyed the tapes and there would be no evidence.
While Pia’s death may be sudden and lacking in drama, it’s perfectly believable, as that is how people die every day. A stumble leading to a fall can be lethal.
