Bob Hudson is often remembered as one of the few truly "good" people to die at Fox River. His death served as a turning point for Michael Scofield, who later reflected on how his pursuit of Lincoln’s freedom had led to the loss of an innocent life.

Bob’s death was not just a random act of violence; it was a calculated move to protect the escape plan. During the Fox River riot, T-Bag accidentally pushed Bob into Michael and Sucre’s cell. In the struggle, Bob fell into the toilet, which was pulled from the wall, exposing the hole Michael was using for the escape.

Bob's death occurs in the episode "Little Red Dress" (Season 2, Episode 7). He is found dead in the prison's yard, with no clear indication of who killed him. The episode ends with a cliffhanger, leaving viewers to speculate about the killer's identity.
