Sarah Connor has died from [[leukemia]] before the events of the 2003 film. Her son John ([[Nick Stahl]]) mentions that they were living in [[Baja California peninsula|Baja]], Mexico when she was diagnosed. Her doctor gave her six months to live but she fought the disease for three years, long enough to see the 1997 "Judgment Day" pass without incident. John hit the road on the day Sarah died, and she was cremated in Mexico where her ashes were spread out to the sea. Never truly believing they had beaten Skynet, her friends stored a cache of weapons in a casket in a [[Columbarium|niche]] at a Los Angeles [[mausoleum]] for John to find in the event that Judgment Day was not averted and the Terminators returned, in accordance with her [[Will (law)|will]]. The T-850 (Schwarzenegger) gathered all the weaponry and had to hide John in the casket from police before reuniting with Kate ([[Claire Danes]])
