Who will bite the dust next on Prison Break?

It's no secret, Prison Break is one of those shows that is not afraid to kill characters along the way, even major ones. Therefore, it will be no surprise to you to learn that more deaths are coming in the final episodes of the series. But did you know that there is one that will be so major that the show's Powers That Be needed to meet face-to-face with the network to get approval?
Curious as to who may bite the dust by series' end? Want to speculate on how it will happen?
Extreme spoilers follow! You've been warned.
Those of you who read my weekly Spoilers Anonymous column know about this major death already. But in case you hadn't heard about it before, here is what we know about it:
- An upcoming death is so major that the show's Powers That Be had to fight with the network to actually have that person die on screen. Fight the network? I doubt they would kill Sara (again) or Michael since they want to somewhat please fans and have them wed and live happily ever after. For the bosses to fight the network over this death, I think it's Lincoln since we know T-Bag is still alive after episode 22 (he is in the extra two hours the show shot). Mahone? Maybe. I don't think they would have to fight over killing Self. Have an idea which major character will die? [Source: TV Guide]
Extreme spoilers are coming up below. So if you don't want to know more, stop reading now.
Personally, I thought Lincoln would be the one biting the dust. In an upcoming episode, we know that Michael will need to decide to save either Sara or Lincoln. The death could have happen then with Lincoln telling Michael to save Sara, blah, blah, blah, and have him die a bit the same way Bellick died.
But The Man, who is a usually reliable spoilers source over at Spoiler TV, claims that I have the wrong brother dying. Don't adjust your computer screen, you've read right, Michael would be the extremely major death happening before the season's end.
Here is how The Man describes the death: "At the end of episode 22, the scene that is 4 years later has Sara, Linc, Sucre, Mahone and Michael, Jr., at Michael's grave. And then the show ends. In episodes 23 and 24, you will find out what happened: Michael ends up sacrificing himself to save Sara to get her out of prison, but the reason he did it is because he still has a tumor and was going to die anyway."
In case you didn't know, episodes 23 and 24 were produced by the show (not the network) to sort of offer fans a better wrap up to the series. It is unknown if the two-hour thing will air on FOX, but it will find its way on a DVD eventually.
Having Michael die would definitely require the show people to meet up with the network executives to get approval and explain why they want to kill the lead character of the show. Spoilers for episodes 23 and 24 put Gretchen in prison, but maybe they changed the name so we wouldn't know that the person is in fact Sara. And other spoilers for those episodes say that the new inmate is pregnant. So that could explain why The Man says there is a Michael, Jr. at the grave site. Michael has been willing to do everything and anything to save his loved ones along the way, so it would make sense to have him make the ultimate sacrifice to save Sara and their son.
Do you think that The Man's spoilers are accurate? How do you feel about the possibility of Michael dying by making the ultimate sacrifice? If Michael is not the one dying, whom do you think it is and how will it happen? Vote in our polls and share your theories/opinion in comments below.
