When Dennis arrives, a machine's vibrations cause a wrench to approach a rotating band that sends the key flying to his face. Dennis brutally dies, spilling blood on everyone around him.
Trivia[]
- Dennis Lapman shares some similarities with William Hitchcock from Final Destination. Both are the fourth victim to die at the hands of Death and both die with an object that flies towards their head in the presence of other survivors.
- The wrench flew very close to Nathan's head; closer and Nathan would have killed him. The fact that he killed Dennis, instead, gives credence to the theory concerning the nature of being ignored from Death's list.
- Dennis would be the fifth victim if Nathan Sears had not been saved.
- He is the oldest survivor to die in the entire franchise.
