Christian's Coffin/Theories

Theories about
Christian's Coffin

Theories may be removed if ...
Stated as questions or possibilities (avoid question marks, "Maybe", "I think", etc). More appropriate for another article. Illogical or previously disproven. Proven by canon source, and moved to main article. Speculative and lacking any evidence to support arguments. Responding to another theory (use discussion page instead). This does not include responses that can stand alone as its own theory. Usage of an indented bullet does not imply the statement is a response. See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.

Someone else was in the coffin when the plane took off from Sydney, to smuggle themselves out of Austrailia.
The coffin had nothing to do with Christian Shephard.
The coffin was for Christian but Christian's body was not placed on the plane, this being forbidden, as explained by the airline employee.
The coffin was for Christian and Jack found a way to get his father's body in it on the plane despite the formal interdictions.
Christian Shephard's body is missing for the same reason that Yemi's body (from the de facto coffin of the Drug smugglers' plane fuselage) was found to be missing by Eko in "The Cost of Living".
