There are some computer geeks out there who were able to blow up that little obituary and see the name... It was the name of a philosopher.... - none that I knew. Supposedly, John Locke's character is also named after a philosopher.
Did anyone see Jacob??? I have since seen the few frames they showed of him (invisible to my naked eye - again god bless the computer geeks..) it definitely looked like Locke in a beard and wig...
