Kills

The main characters in Lost have killed many other people over the course of the show. Many kills were cases of self defense and the defense of others either individually or in combat. Many were murder. Of those, some are premeditated, some are spur of the moment; some are manslaughter. At least one, that of US Marshal Edward Mars, was euthanasia.
