Is this a fatal moment for 'Heroes?'

It's no secret that Adrian Pasdar is departing Heroes in the not-too-distant future, but what's not yet known is how we'll be saying goodbye to Nathan. With that in mind, Tube Talk has done some digging and found these rather exciting pictures from next week's episode. Could a roof-top fall be death?

It's also worth noting that the episode in question, 'The Fifth Stage', will serve as the midseason cliffhanger before Heroes returns in 2010 in a new timeslot. What better hook than killing off the criminally underused Nathan?!

Peter and Nathan share a tender moment...

...before Nathan goes hurtling over the edge of the roof.

"I've got you Nathan!"

"Wait.. no, I haven't! D'oh!"

Episode 12 of Heroes airs Monday, November 30 at 8pm on NBC.

Do you think Nathan will die as a result of the fall? How would you like to see the character leave? Add your comments to this entry below!
