Eddie is the group's field equipment expert. He becomes a part of the team sent to the island since the vehicles he designed were field tested. He is described as a compact and strong 25 year old who prefers the city. He has black hair and is balding. In the novel, Eddie is killed by a pack of raptors while fighting them off with an iron pipe. In the film he is ripped in half in mid-air by a group of Tyrannosaurus but successfully saved Ian Malcolm, Sarah Harding, and Nick Van Owen from the overturned trailers. He had heroically saved his three friends' lives by surrendering his to the Tyrannosaurs. Furthermore, his heroic actions earn him a mention later on in the film, when Roland Tembo claims, The Rex just fed, to which Malcolm counters, Just fed? I assume you were talking about Eddie. You might show a little respect, the man just saved our lives by giving his.
