Mitch in his trap
Mitch finds a tape with his name on it. Knowing there would be consequences if he didn't follow the rules, he pressed it and upon doing so, was dragged upside down to his trap. John's voice was heard in the tape and says that years ago, he sold a motorcycle to a boy who was John's nephew for $600. Mitch lied to his nephew saying that the motorcycle was working but in reality, it had a faulty brake which led to the death of John's nephew. As Mitch begs for forgiveness and mercy, he is suspended above a cone-like metal object with heated metal coils on the inside, Mitch was slowly lowered down into the heated cone. As this happened, the very bike that Mitch had sold to John's nephew ran, causing the trap to spin.
Mitch's corpse
Mitch's goal was to reach the brake at the bottom of the trap, and once he did, the motorcycle would stop. However, Anna interfered, grabbing a nearby metal rod and jamming it into the wheels, which stopped the trap. Mitch, relieved, stops attempting to reach the brake. However, the motorcycle wheel breaks the rod and begins spinning again, and as Mitch panics, he begins to swing, essentially throwing himself into the hot coils, which kills and mutilates his body as Anna stands at the top of the trap.
Post-Mortem[]
Anna and Ryan's corpses are decomposing in the Tuck's abandoned barn, the same place where John Kramer put them to the test. Logan Nelson, who is the successor of John Kramer, reveals to Detective Brad Halloran, his test subject, that in reality those games happened ten years ago and that was the reason why nobody had known what happened until now. Just like the theory that was handled on the Jigsaw fan website, in which Eleanor was involved.
Personality[]
Mitch was a greedy and dishonest young man as shown when he sold John Kramer's nephew a motorcycle he knew was defective, claiming it was in excellent condition and that it was deserving of the price he set for it; it is possible, however, that he felt guilty for causing Kramer’s nephew’s death since he never really had any intention of doing so. Over the course of the game, Mitch continued to deny his guilt for what he had done to be targeted by Jigsaw, as even when pressured to confess during the game, Mitch stretched the truth, saying the motorcycle was simply too much for his customer to handle.
