There is actually some discrepancy about Riley in the film version of ECLIPSE. In the book, Riley is torn apart and burned along with Victoria. HOWEVER, in the movie version of ECLIPSE there is a HUGE mistake. Although Edward does burn Victoria's body....all that's last seen of Riley is that he was dragged off and dismembered by Seth. So...it leaves the viewer feeling that Seth just tore Riley into pieces and left him in the forest.

But we know from reading the books that the ONLY way to kill a vampire is to tear him/her apart and burn the pieces into ashes. Although Riley WAS torn apart in ECLIPSE, he was never burned.

This is what the books hint to. If a vampire is torn apart....his pieces are almost like magnets....seeking each other out and coming back together. When the "cold man" was torn apart....his pieces were gathered up and taken back to the tribe elders. When they unwrapped the pieces...they were already trying to reasemble themselves....causing the tribe to immediately burn them.

So....one could possibely believe or think....that eventually the same thing would happen to the ECLIPSE movie version of Riley. That his pieces eventually would come back together....and therefore Riley could still be alive out there. Maybe he and Freaky Fred are room mates somewhere?
