Death becomes them

This Sunday, on the freakishly popular television show, "The Simpsons," a member of the Springfield community is going to die.

Who will die is a matter of speculation.

The buzz around the Internet is that it's going to be Maude Flanders, the wife of goody-God-shoes Ned Flanders. Others disagree, claiming that the delightfully clueless Principal Skinner will shuffle off this mortal coil.

Still others claim this is a publicity stunt for sweeps week.

The truth is, nobody knows for sure - except the wonderfully secretive people at the Fox Network.

To solve our quintessential quandary, Wildlife talked to people who, on average, don't run a television network - UA students.

We asked them who they think is going to die on "The Simpsons" and why.
