** The [[Film/BackToTheFuturePartII second movie]] has a deleted scene where Future!Biff, fresh out of returning to 1955 and giving the almanac to his younger self, collapses and disappears in thin air. Once we see how badly he mistreats Lorraine in the Alternate 1985, we know immediately what is the highest possibility: that at some point between 1985 and 2015, Lorraine finally got fed up with his mistreatment and killed him (or she found he was the one who killed George).
