#2. Does Logan Roy Die? Succession Season 4 Episode 3 Recap & Spoilers

The answer is out: Yes, Logan Roy is no longer alive.
The incident happened when Roy and a team of advisers prepared to go to Stockholm, Sweden to meet with Lukas Matsson, the CEO of Gojo, to discuss about the Waystar Roco's acquisition deal. Not long after the company private jet took off New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport, Roy started to have breathing problems. He quickly became unconscious and was eventually found in a dire condition in the plane's bathroom.
Things were not looking good for Roy. The Roy siblings were soon informed about the situation. Even though they didn't want to admit it, they all knew what was going to happen. Roman didn't even believe the news at first - he can't believe that the last thing he said to his father were all the harsh words that he sent to Roy through a voicemail.
The siblings could only said their last goodbye to their father through a tearful phone call. It's true that they didn't really have good relationships with Roy - he wasn't the best father figure - but he is still their father, after all. It's unavoidable that they became devastated after learning about their father's death.

After a while, the crews announced that they have decided to stop doing chest compressions. Roy was officially announced dead. His cause of death hasn't been revealed, but there is a high chance that it was because of cardiac arrest.
Logan Roy had been dealing with health problems for a while due to his old age, so this shouldn't come as a surprise. But the timing of his death was definitely the worst - he passed away right on Connor's wedding day. Connor was also the last one to learn about the news - he didn't even get the chance to say goodbye to his dad one last time. It couldn't get more terrible than this - having your father abandoning you on one of the most special days in your life in the worst way possible.
Waystar Royco, which was already unstable due to controversy and internal conflicts, now lacks a clear successor after Roy passed away. The price of the company's shares immediately dropped when the news broke out. The Roy siblings were trying their best to deal with the complex emotions, but they would eventually have to gather themselves together soon to prepare for the upcoming changes.
According to Brian Cox, the original plan of the producers was to let Logan die in Season 1, but they later decided to postpone it until the final season.
"Originally, I was supposed to die at the end of the first series. But I think they realised that Logan is the centrifugal force of the piece. Everything has to spin off him, and the kids’ vices are all about their father, and relating to their father. Do they love their father, and if so how do they show that love?”, Brian shared in an interview with The Guardian.
