Biography[]
Context[]
September 23rd - 25th
A day after infected rats contaminated Raccoon City's drinking water supply with the t-Virus, the city was infested with thousands of infected humans (zombies) plunging the city into total, uncontrollable, chaos.
Naturally the R.P.D was called into action, but due to the overwhelming number of infected they were eventually unable to handle the situation, the remaining forces retreated to the Police Station which was later established as a refugee center.
Events[]
September 26th
On this day a mob of zombies attacked the station, resulting in a huge number of deceased and injured, David writes a report on the situation. "Operation Report 1" describes the loss of communication with the outside world and the continuous search for weapons and ammunition caches.[1]
In David's Memo, we learn that during this attack David left a fellow Police Officer named Meyer to die after the same saving him from certain death. David later becomes seriously disturbed by that event, and start considering suicide.[2]
September 27th
At 1:00pm, the West Side was breached, resulting in a battle, 12 died. Later that same day David encounters a "Licker" and describes its physical appearance and its unusually long tong capable of piercing through a human body.[3]
On this same day, David became seriously disturbed at the constant losses and felt ashamed by his choice to abandon Meyer to the zombies during the Sept. 26th attack. He began drinking, and wrote in his diary of his intention to kill himself.[4]
September 28th
At 2:30am, during a meeting the Operations Room was invaded by zombies, David was killed. It's unknown if by will he decided to let the zombies attack him in an act of suicide or if he died by pure accident.[5]
Further notes[]
- The first operation report was left in the operation room, while the second report and David's memo were left in the dark room. The dark room may have been a refuge for the surviving officers as it is within close proximity of the evidence room where survivors were sheltered and the operation room where meetings took place.
- In the Nintendo 64 release of Resident Evil 2, David's letter (a revised version of David's Memo) was placed in the east office. While the officers were mostly confined to the west wing of the precinct, they had plans to explore the east wing and eventually managed to, as recorded by Elliot in the second operation report.[6]
