As Montag leaves for work, he finally tells Mildred ( who is watching an interactive soap opera on the " parlor walls " -- three enormous, floor-to-ceiling television screens ) that she overdosed on sleeping pills.

Montag is shocked that Mildred didn't tell him the grim news sooner and more disturbed over Mildred's apathy over the death of someone Montag had genuinely liked.
