Big Tiny was imprisoned in Cell Block D along with fellow inmates Axel, Tomas, Oscar, and Andrew. [1]
A group of survivors from outside, led by Rick Grimes, barricaded themselves within the prison. The met the inmates and came to a tenuous accord, though Tomas proved to a bit unruly. Rick and the others tried to educate them about the walkers and how best to combat them. They encountered a group that had breached a barricade near Cell Block B and Big Tiny was scratched. The others believed that he had been infected and Big Tiny began to panic. Tomas took to him with a crowbar and beat him to death to prevent him from reanimating. [2]
