How Did Mr. Krabs Die and Who Killed Him? – Explained

We’ve all been wondering how Mr. Krabs died. The restaurant owner was discovered dead with a slashed neck and knife in his Krusty Krab restaurant. What was the reason of his death? 

In this article, I will explain Mr. Krabs’ death and who killed him.

Who is Mr. Krabs?

Mr. Krabs is a fictional character in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants.
Stephen Hillenburg, a marine biologist, and animator conceived and designed the character.


Krabs owns and maintains the Krusty Krab, a popular fast food restaurant in Bikini Bottom’s underwater city. He is a miserly red crab that lives in an anchor with his young whale daughter, Pearl.


Mr. Krabs’ most noticeable characteristic is his greed and fixation with money, which means he’s also fascinated with wealth, to the point where he treats money and wealth better than his daughter and staff on occasion.

How Did Mr.Krabs Die?

The death scene for Mr. Krabs is incredibly violent and horrific. 

SpongeBob SquarePants’ trial shows that Mr Krabs died inside his restaurant. Mr. Krabs’ body was discovered inside the Krusty Krab restaurant. His throat had been cut.

According to the coroner, the death was caused by a would-be created by a metal spatula. There was evidence of blant force damage on the back of his skull. Apart from that, the floor of the Krusty Krab restaurant was greasy and slick.

The grease also featured multiple footprints, including that of the show’s protagonist. His footsteps, however, were not found in Mr. Krab’s blood pool.

The restaurant showed no signs of a break-in, but the cash register at the Krusty Krab was empty.  His safe, on the other hand, was discovered open, and the secret formula for the Krabby Patty was also missing. Mr. Krabs had a gash on his claw that was now healing. It shows that the cut/wound was not related to the murder but occurred some weeks before the occurrence.

Conspiracy Theory: Who Killed Mr. Krabs?

Many claims have been made about Mr. Krabs’s death and leaving him in such a terrible condition. One of the sentences implies that SpongeBob is Mr. Krabs’ murderer. This claim, however, cannot be relied on entirely.

SpongeBob, Squidward, and Plankton were the three major suspects in the case. Oh, and Patrick, there was a fourth!

Is There an Evidence of the Murderer?

Mr. Krab’s blood and fingerprints were found on the spatula that was used to kill the crab. What’s more shocking about the situation, though, is that SpongeBob’s fingerprints were also on the spatula, unavoidably implicating him.

A few witnesses said that they saw SpongeBob visit the eatery two hours prior to Mr. Krabs being discovered dead. According to a statement made public by Patrick, SpongeBob paid Mr. Krabs a visit at the eatery. He discovered that Krabs was upset and said that he might never again sell hamburgers.

In What Episode Does Mr. Krabs Die?

SpongeBob SquarePants” Dying for Pie/Imitation Krabs (TV Episode 2001)

On Spongebob, How Old Is Mr. Krabs?

Mr. Krabs’ licence is displayed twice: once in the classic and best known episode “Sleepy Time” and once in “Mall Girl Pearl” (the relatively recent one).

Mr. Krabs was born on November 30, 1942, and his licence will expire on November 30, 2002, according to the record in “Sleepy Time.”

Mr. Krabs was born on September 25, 1960, and his licence will expire on September 10, 2016, according to the information in “Mall Girl Pearl.”

When the licence expires, Mr. Krabs will be roughly 56 years old in “Mall Girl Pearl” and 60 years old in “Sleepy Time.”

Mr. Krabs is therefore in his 50s during those episodes, one can infer. He is also in his 50s for the duration of the entire series because he doesn’t age. I estimate Mr. Krabs’ age to be between 52 and 55 years old if the licence expires every 5-8 years.
