Hardcore Mad Men fans have been buzzing about that crazy theory that Megan Draper may be murdered by the end of the season in the same fashion that actress Sharon Tate was in 1969, but this new evidence, strung together by Uproxx's Dustin Rowles, puts that all to shame: What if Megan Draper is already dead?

It's crazy, yes, but we have to admit, the evidence presented does make sense: Rowles points out that Don has a history of hallucinating the dearly departing—it happened with Anna Draper on the night she died—and in last Sunday's episode, Don had a hallucination of both the definitely deceased Private Jenkins, and of a pregnant Megan while he was floating facedown in a pool, briefly dead. From the post:

None

Additionally, Rowles points out that in the promo for next week's episode, Megan is wearing a black top and red pants—the color of death and the color of violence, respectively, and both colors that were apparent on Lane Pryce's tie during the season five episode where he kills himself. Don is later seen answering the door, to which Rowles questions: "[...] why is Don answering the door? If Megan is at home, does Don EVER answer the door? Who is that? Could be Dr. Rosen, coming to offer his condolences, or perhaps a detective, coming to ask questions about the murder, or worse: Revealing to Don what he was just informed by the hallucination of Megan. 'Mr. Draper, did you know that your wife was pregnant?'" There is, after all, still the question of why police cars could be seen in the background of that excellent Mad Men season six poster that debuted before the start of the season.

Then again, as The Atlantic Wire points out, there is that theory that Don is actually the one fated to die, if he hasn't already.
