Who (or what) is in the morgue?

Looking at the horrible promo clip of Sherlock looking heartbreakingly horrified in the morgue. Who would be dead that would be that upsetting to him?

1. Mycroft

2. John

I couldn’t bear to put John first even though that is obviously the real order. Also maybe…

3. Molly?

4. Baby Watson (if she exists, I don’t think she would be in a morgue anyway though)?

5. His mom?

6. His dad?

7. Irene?

Does anyone think he would be that intensely horrified/heartbroken over any of 3-7? I am asking seriously.

PS, if you or someone you follow already has a good post on this please let me know, thanks.

Reblogging my own post because I really want to talk about this and I posted it late last night (probably should have queued but I have never actually done that before)!

Good question @mint-doesnt-have-an-account… This is from TLD.  If this is real, I remember first thinking when this trailer came out in the summer it was the baby, because it will be gone in TLD imo. Then I thought Mary, because she will most certainly die as well…

But after the latest dark promo it might even be John, which would be truly devastating. Only, I don’t believe John will die, so this might be a nightmare / drug induced hallucination of Sherlock? Or it’s (still) mp.

Mycroft is always an option, as I think we’ll see his downfall in S4. Though I’m not sure he’ll die a physical death (and if so, would Sherlock react to it like he does above? These are my personal dark Mycroft ideas btw…).

Last but not least, this reminds me of the other morgue we’ve seen Sherlock in in HLV (I know it’s not the same morgue though…). Is Sherlock seeing his own corpse (a bit like being attacked by a zombie corpse in TAB)? Is he imagining / running a scenario in his MP where he witnesses his own post mortem, only to realise how much he has meant to John, who breaks down when seeing his dead body? A bit like Christmas Carol, Scrooge visiting his past/future/present with a ghost = the LiR? And lying could mean that Sherlock lies dead in a morgue in his dream/coma.

Sorry, these are just my thoughts…

Yeah, I’d say he’s looking at John’s corpse or his own. Third cray cray option, in that bit in the teaser where he is wildly shooting, he shoots Lestrade or Mrs. Hudson and is looking at them in the morgue. But I think that’s much less likely.
