Actually, in Terminator 3.
John said that Sarah Conner died of Leukemia and was cremated.
Basically, there was a reason for having the coffin filled with weapons. It's pretty obvious why.
But we didn't see Sarah Conner dying in the T2. But she died before the Terminator 3.

Put a body in the oven to burn up. Collect the ash into the vase. You put the ash anywhere else as her wishes.
Cremated burn the body instead of bury the body into 8 feet deeply under the ground with a casket.

Bummer! Actress Linda Hamilton was a great person, she did a great job as Sarah Conner in the original Terminator and 2nd one as well.
Of course, movies tend to kill off the good people but in sensible ways. *oh well*
Goldie
She is NOT died ! She is still alive !!! Update is May 2003 ! Linda mentioned that "I try to keep a balance. I actually believe that children want normal parents, they don't want celebrities or important parents or anything different from all the other parents." Obviously, she did not want to be actress in Terminator 3 due to focus on her kids.
Here is Sarah Conner ( Linda Hamilton)'s biography:
Born September 26, 1956 in Salisbury, Maryland, USA, Linda Carroll Hamilton (other sources say it's "Linda Joyce Susan Hamilton") is six minutes older than her identical twin sister Leslie Hamilton Gearren. They have an older sister, Laura - a successful lawyer in Washington, DC - and a younger brother named John who's politics.
The kids grew up on the Chesapeake Bay. From the beginning their parents tried to inspire them for the fine arts. Linda's birth father adored theatre, opera and classical music. Linda's mother liked embroidery and painting.
Her father, who was a general practitioner, died in a car crash when Linda & Leslie were only five years old. Leslie - residing in New Jersey - is an ER nurse who has done a stint as her sisters double in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). Linda's mother remarried; her stepfather was Chief of Police of Salisbury; he's retired now.
Linda's real dad suffered from bipolar disorder, and though Linda was diagnosed early, too, she refused any drug therapy. All her life she has suffered from manic-depressive illness, a condition that propelled her to brilliance in the manic state and to depths of despair in the melancholic one. By the end of her 30s she gave in and since 1996 she is on anti-depressants to control her illness.
"Then at a certain point it became exhausting, and I said, 'I need help.' I believe a brief stint of Prozac saved my life. I'd gotten into such a place of mortal anxiety, but now I'm fine."
But still during her childhood Linda suffered from the fact that everybody saw her as just one with her sister. At the age of 16, this frustration lead to a severe identity crisis: she cut her hair and eyelashes and finally weighed about 167 pounds just to differ from her sister. "I wanted to be ugly. I became the intellectual, the thinker, as opposed to my sister the cheerleader. I was voted class snob."
"My mother took some of her fake costume jewelry apart and made a crown for me. I swear I found myself. I'll never forget the joy of that crown."
Her steady belief is that "acting decided to have its way with me. I loved it; I always loved it. I did children's theater when I was young. No particular talent for it, I might add. You know, I have a twin sister, so they hired my twin sister and me to do this play. I'm sure they thought it was really cute to have the Hamilton twins playing the same role. I discovered my passion for acting then."
In high school she was the assistant to the drama coach and even directed a play. After graduating in 1974, Linda enrolled in two acting classes at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. There Linda performed in a couple of student productions like Prometheus Bound by John Million and Elmer Rice's The Adding Machine.
After two years at Washington College "... I decided I loved it [acting], and I decided to go to New York to study at an acting school". So Linda and her then boyfriend moved to New York in 1976, where she joined the famous Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute; there she studied Method Acting and - among others - was taught by Nicholas Ray.
After appearing in numerous student stage productions such as Shakespeare's Richard III, she made her professional debut with a small role on the daytime television drama Search for Tomorrow.
Because her then agency thought her unsuited to the theatre, they encouraged Linda to try her luck in Los Angeles.
In 1979 she borrowed $ 2,000 and moved to California. When she earned her first role, a guest spot on Shirley, she was down to her last $ 6.
When Linda tried to make the down payment on her Venice home in 1982, she discovered that her then business manager had embezzled $107,000 of her earnings. The manager had also been stealing from his other clients, was subsequently sentenced to five years in prison.
"It was a nightmare, I had to borrow the down payment." Because of frustration she began sniffing cocaine. At her peak, she and a friend would buy an ounce and snort it until it was gone. "There are drugs that expand the soul, but cocaine is one that just closes the heart. It's a very alone, horrible sort of shrinking drug. I quit on my own, but there was a time when I feared I would have to go in for treatment. I really was in trouble." She needed three years to get clean again.
Linda's first big break was in 1984, when she played the part of Sarah Connor in James Cameron's The Terminator. From 1987 to 1989 she came to fame as Catherine Chandler in TV's Beauty and the Beast. The show earned her nominations for an Emmy, Golden Globe, and People's Choice Award; she received a Saturn and a Romy Award. Linda and her Beauty co-star Ron Perlman are still very close friends.
In 1989 Linda bought a house in Arles/France trying to spend there a lot of time, but - as often in life - personal and professional matters thwarted that plans:
After having miscarried already, Linda got pregnant again in 1989 and quit Beauty due to her wish to be just there for her family. October 4, 1989 Linda's and Bruce's baby boy Dalton Bruce Abbott was born. Shortly after their son's birth Linda and her husband separated and got divorced by the end of 1989.
Some time between Beauty and T2 Linda bought a house in Hawaii as it was more agreeable living there than in a smog city like Los Angeles. But she also owns a house in Hollywood not wanting to live in hotels while working.
Still having energy between shooting movies and doing television Linda also founded her own theatre group together with some friends.
In March 1990 Linda was offered to reprise her role as Sarah Connor in Terminator 2- Judgment Day. 13 weeks before production started, she began military as well as fitness training for her advanced interpretation of the Sarah character. When production finally started, Linda, who had gained 40 pounds during her pregnancy, was a lean machine. Though she weighed as much as she had in 1984 for The Terminator, she was now all muscle, measuring about 14 percent body fat.
The new interpretation of Sarah Connor earned her MTV Movie Awards for "best female performance" as well as "most desirable female"; she also received another Saturn Award.
After T2 Linda moved together with her T director James Cameron.
Because of her continued heavy workout Linda suffered two more miscarriages, but February 15, 1993 Linda's and James's daughter Josephine Archer Cameron was born.
Early in 1994 Linda moved out with the kids to her own place during preproduction of Cameron's True Lies. They were together again at the movie's premiere.
For her made for TV movie A Mother's Prayer (1995) Linda received a Cable Ace Award and a Golden Globe nomination. 1997's Dante's Peak earned her a Blockbuster Award.
July 26, 1997 Linda and James Cameron married on a free weekend of Cameron's Titanic shooting. Just some weeks after the 1998 Academy Awards the couple separated, and December 1998 Linda filed for divorce because of "irreconcilable differences".
Some time between 1999 and early 2000 the divorce case was settled.
In January 2000 Linda won a Golden Satellite Award for her role as Anna Sipes in 1999's TV drama The Color of Courage.
Meanwhile she also seems to have to come to terms with James Cameron as well. "I love him as much as I ever did," Linda told an interviewer in spring 2000, "but it doesn't mean that the heartbreak wasn't huge and I haven't suffered. I knew who he was when I married him, and I love him still. He's lucky I took a vow to love him," and adding candidly, "I'm glad I don't have to share all of the day with him."
It was often reported that their relationship was tempestuous, but in early 2001 she insists they're friendly.
"People would be shocked if they knew how friendly," she says. "That's a real testament to me. He watched me resurrect a successful relationship with my first husband because of our child."
At the end of 2000 Linda headed a theater production of Laura -- her first venture on L.A. stage in more than a decade.
For that moment it was drama. In the future, it may be a TV sitcom or something outside the business altogether.
"I have not yet decided that acting is the best way to contribute to this world, and I'm a big contributor," Linda was cited in November 2000. "I really would like to take a huge step and head the United Way, be a traveling ambassador. Whatever I can do to be a source of light. I want to hold the crack babies. I want to travel to Africa. I want to do something for the rain forests."
Concerning acting Linda wants to be lighter, less ferocious and troubled. She's "chasing sitcoms" and is trying to option a script for an independent film she expects to produce as well as star in.
Nonetheless, in October 2001 Linda won the Video Premiere Award as best supporting actress in the psychological thriller Skeletons in the Closet.
Currently Linda and her kids are living in Malibu near Point Dume.
Linda is a big football fan (SF 49ers), still works out, smokes cigarettes and loves ice cream. She also likes travelling around Europe, especially France and Italy. In her free time she writes, likes playing Scrabble, collects Santa Claus and Easter Bunny figurines, is mad about horses, has dogs and cats and is an avid fly-fisherwoman. Fishing is one of her major delights.

But most of all Linda loves spending time with her kids.
"I love being home with them," she says. "It's nice to be fully present, although being a single mother has its inconveniences. It's hard enough that their daddies don't live here, but they're very present in their lives. Children and dads are constantly coming and going. In the summer it's like military maneuvers. I'll do anything so the children don't feel absence and loss. Basically I've kept them Hollywood-free, or as much as that's possible -- I mean [Josephine's] daddy is Jim Cameron," she says. "I have to be the great equalizer -- he's buying ranches and helicopters, and I'm like, 'Pick up your clothes and make your bed.' "
"I'm very, very much my own middle-class self in front of people, because that's who I am, and what I do and who I am are very different."
"I'm completely happy. I'm just so happy," she concludes. "I have great friends, intimate relationships, loving children and a community and a church behind me. I'm just not missing much."
May 2003 she described her being like this: "Life has worn me down to a very real shape," she said. "I'm a fully realized person, one that is truly in the world with talents and flaws."

Calm down, Sabrina..I know she's still alive, I was talking about Sarah (the character). That it was a pity that Linda didn't reprise her role as Sarah in the 3rd installment of Terminator. I was just mentioning what a great actress Linda is and that it was disappointing that she wasn't going to be in a new movie anytime soon.

Same here, I was perfectly aware that Linda Hamilton is alive and well.
Sarah Conner is a character. That's what I'm referring to. At least, we cleared it up. Linda Hamilton didn't reprise her role for obvious reasons.

Is it me or New york post, chicago, Los angles, and miami reports said, Terminator 3's is much better than T1 and 2 not only that but T-3's script is much better than preisouly terminator 1+2?
here is another report by CNN, according to cnn news, "
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" is a wonderful third installment. Some purists and major cult fans of the first two films may miss Cameron's directing style, but "Machines" has a much better script than the first two However, if anybody wants a fourth film they'd better get going. Arnie may be hitting a campaign trail, instead of bad guys, very soon."

Better than the Terminator 1 and 2?
Sheesh, some people just don't know what they're talking about.
I'll bet that they will change their minds after watching it a few times and compare it to the Terminator 1 and 2.
Terminator 2, simply superb!

First of all, Young john wouldnt be sent back to the past like1984 because if he does, he cant be returned to the future from past not only that but all humans will be wiped out. that's why someone or computer sends one of those terminators needed to kill John and sarah in the past and before learn how to beat machine because sarah knows what to do with those terminators and how to kill them.
And John knows how to build his own terminator. that's why the future john connor sent his own terminator back, save little john and his mother, sarah connor because he knew t-1000 was going to kill the past john. if successful, humans should be replaced by terminators allready. Second, john will never meet his real father because in t-1, the future real father who was a soilder, was sent to the past to save sarah from the oringial terminator.
thirdly, the pyshcloloicst doctor who witnessed sarah who tried to warn people, goverments, and ect that the terminator will be back in about 7 years later in t-2 not only that but also warned about unclear war just has been begun.
Steel, the original terminator is T-800 not T-101

That was the same with James Cameron and his former wife, Gale Anne Hurd (before Linda Hamilton) - James and Gale directed 'Aliens', 'The Abyss', Terminator 1, and several other movies together before they divorced.
I was pen pals with Gale Anne Hurd from 1986 until 1989. She was a very nice and friendly person. We lost contact after I finished High school and moved on.

it happen to my localtion's newspaper, they review and cliam that Terminator 3 has better grade.
