Natalie Dormer has confirmed that Game of Thrones character Jon Snow is dead - but teased that his cadaverous state might not last forever.
Fans were left with a Schrodinger's cat situation at the end of series five, unsure whether Jon Snow (Kit Harington) was left dead or alive after being stabbed by members of the Night's Watch.
But the 34-year-old actress, who plays Margaery Tyrell in the show, said even Snow cannot defy human physiology.
She told Channel 5 News: "If you get stabbed that many times, you're dead, you know. There are some basic medical rules that even apply in Westeros. So Jon Snow is dead right now."
Pushed on her choice of the phrase "right now", she repeated emphatically, "right now".
