Biography
Elliot was ordered into the Raccoon City Police Station around the night of 24 September, as the contaminated drinking water caused tens of thousands to mutate into Zombies. He does not appear to have been involved with the last handful of officers planning an escape from Raccoon City on the 28th, most likely due to the situation being scattered and chaotic.

With the building compromised and the police having taken near total casualties, he planned a last, desperate escape with David Ford and Marvin Branagh from the building by opening up old passage ways and escaping into the sewers. He was killed on the night of 29 September, having been cornered and attacked by mutants at a shuttered security point.

His death occured in the shutter room, when the newly rookie police officer, Leon S. Kennedy, attempted to pull Elliot out of the shutter door. However, Elliot was too late, and already started to get eaten by the zombie, most likely in the guts, and the zombie started to tear Elliot's body. While Leon strived to save Elliot from already being eaten, however, Leon inadvertently used his strength to pull Elliot apart, losing half of his body. Subsequently, Elliot soon dies, from Leon's action, which was Elliot being ripped apart by Leon. Since the zombie, who already started maul him and rip apart of Elliot, Leon caused Elliot lose half of his body, soon die of blood loss.

Before his death, Elliot handed over his notebook to newly-arrived officer, Leon S. Kennedy, which contained information regarding the passage near the statue.

Further notes

 * In the 1998 original Resident Evil 2, Elliot was killed during a bungled evacuation effort via helicopter, in which both Elliot and the pilot are killed. However, the 2019 remake instead has him die in the Watchman's Room, inside the Police Station, proper.
 * His death is censored in the CERO D version of the 2019 remake.
