Did Officer Bradford die in The Rookie Season 1 finale?
Okay, so we’re not certain, but we’re leaning toward a hopeful “no.” BUT. We do know that Bradford has been infected by a deadly virus (it has a 90 percent kill rate), and from the looks of it, the virus is highly contagious. While Bradford isn’t in good shape in the Season 1 finale, he’s not dead! And the rule of thumb is that if you don’t see a character actually die, then they ain’t dead.
