Eugene Dix

Eugene Dix, played by Terrence C. Carson, is a fictional character who was featured in the film Final Destination 2.

Eugene is one of the survivors of the Route 23 pile-up. He is the sixth survivor to die.

Eugene is a high school teacher. Prior to the crash, he was substituting for Ms. Valerie Lewton at Mt. Abraham High School, and one of the students from his old school stabbed his substitute teacher during class. In the film, Kimberly Corman has a premonition of a pile-up on Route 23, in which Eugene's motorcycle crushes his torso after he skids across the road. Although he is initially skeptical that Death is still after the survivors, he meets up with the other survivors at Officer Thomas Burke's apartment, where he witnesses Nora Carpenter's death. A horrified Eugene takes Burke's gun and attempts suicide, wanting to die on his own terms, but this fails despite the fact the gun was fully loaded. Clear Rivers explains that this is because it wasn't his turn to die yet.

Afterwards, the remaining survivors leave to find Isabella Hudson. On the way there, Kat Jennings' SUV nearly collides with Isabella's van and they swerve onto a nearby farm. Several PVC pipes penetrate the car, and puncture Eugene's lung and he is quickly rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Numbed by hypoxia he helplessly watches as the vents close, the tubes of his oxygen tanks snap, and the power plug of his defibrillator disengages. The machine's emergency mode activates and revives him, but Clear abruptly opens his door which completely detaches the plug, creating a spark that ignites the oxygen and incinerates them both.

Eugene's death is referenced in the opening credits of The Final Destination and he is seen again in a montage at the end of Final Destination 5.
