She knew too much about Red, so there was no way he was going to let her live.
And yet, even after being shot, Kaplans hand seemed to hold on for dear life.
Is she truly dead?

EW turned to executive producer Jon Bokenkamp for answers:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Is Mr. Kaplan actually dead?
Why did Red have to kill Kaplan?
Red values loyalty above all else, and Mr. Kaplan betrayed him in the most impossible way.
He shot an old woman (Diane Fowler) after she betrayed him.
Hell, he shot Pee Wee Herman!
The man is ruthless.
In Reds mind, Mr. Kaplan had to go.
It almost seemed like Red was about to let Kaplan go to live on this acre.
Was that ever an option or did she know too much?
Shes been a dead woman walking since episode 318, when she helped fake Lizs death.
Kaplan mentioned that Red put baby Liz in her arms all those years ago.
Will we get more information on exactly what happened to Liz as a child?
With that in mind, will we ever see Mr. Kaplan again?
