And then there was one: Following Ghosts' reveal last season about how Hetty died, Sasappis is the only spirit left whose demise remains a mystery.
While his portrayer Román Zaragoza doesn't know when the CBS comedy will share the circumstances of Sas' death, he does have a request for how it should go.

'I keep thinking it'd be really funny [if it was] something, like, incredibly embarrassing,' the actor tells TVLine. 'Because Thor was kind of there, so maybe he knows. Like, he's hiding it. I don't know, but I want it to be something really embarrassing.'
Zaragoza says he's had 'some conversations with some writers,' but the timing of the big reveal is 'very much up in the air.'
'They want to dive into it, but I think it's a slow burn,' Zaragoza explains. 'They don't want to show all the cards yet, because at this point, I think we know how every ghost died except for Sas, and we know all the powers, too. So I think they're trying to hold onto his death to be a bigger thing down the road. But I'm curious.'
In addition to diving into Sas' death, Zaragoza has a few other items on his Season 5 wish list. (The series was picked up for two seasons in February.)
'Seeing more of his life could be really fun,' Zaragoza shares. 'I want to see more of him with his dad, would love to bring my dad [Gregory Zaragoza] back [as Sasappis' father], and would love to see more about who he was when he was alive, because he was a timid person. In that flashback with his father, we saw that he's kind of timid, and then him with Shiki, he's timid, and saying, 'Hi,' and, like, how did that come about? Who is he? Who was he when he was alive?'
'The more that we can see that, it translates into what's happening now,' Zaragoza continues. 'And then that would be really fun to see him with [new love interest] Joan, and to see how all these things are coming back, all these things he hasn't even thought about for the last 500 years because he's just been dead, and been living that kind of afterlife.'
