Jake is confronted by Daredevil
The night after the murder, Jake sat in his apartment and injected himself with the Steel Serpent, as his mind became foggier, he believed he was hallucinating when he saw the man in the mask, inside his apartment. It proved to be no illusion however and the man violently confronted Jake, throwing him into broken glass. Although Jake attempted to deny any involvement, the man had discovered Elena Cardenas' purse. Eventually Jake gave in and explained how he was hired and gave the location of the warehouse he had met his employer in. Before leaving the man in black ordered Jake to surrender himself to Officer Brett Mahoney at the police station.[1]
Death
Before he could surrender himself to the police however, Jake was discovered by Wilson Fisk's men, who threw him off the roof of his building to his death, as punishment for speaking out about Fisk's criminal activities.[2]
