Ik heb het script bekeken (u vindt hier )
Renton lies as before. Around the room are Swanney, Allison, Tommy,
Spud and Sick Boy. Allison begins screaming and wailing. Slowly, the
others rouse themselves to varying degrees.
RENTON (v.o)
I think Allison had been screaming all day, but it hadn't really
registered before. She might have been screaming for a week for
all I knew. It's been days since I've heard anyone speak, though
surely someone must have said something in all that time, surely
to fuck someone must have.
SICK BOY
What's wrong, Allison?
Allison points toward the bundle of dirty blankets in which her baby
is wrapped. Sick Boy follows her directions.
SPUD Calm down, calm down. It's going to be all right, everything's going to be just fine.
RENTON
(v.o)
Nothing could have been further from the truth. In point of fact,
nothing at all was going to be just fine. On the contrary,
everything was going to be bad. Bad? I mean worse than it already
was.
Sick Boy stands over the bundle. The baby is dead.
SICK BOY Oh, fuck. Sick Boy reaches out to Allison.
en ziet eruit als de dood, omdat het niet is gespecificeerd.
Hoewel Trainspotting is gebaseerd op de gelijknamige roman van Irvine Welsh, heb ik de synopsis van de roman bekeken (op Wiki here ) en ontdekte dat in de roman ook de exacte oorzaak niet wordt gespecificeerd, zelfs als daar iets over wordt gezegd:
Narrated by Renton. Lesley's baby, Dawn, has died. Though it appears
to be a cot death, it could also have been from neglect.
