Cornucopia bloodbath
The District 5 male was killed in the initial bloodbath. He was on the last podium to the right of the District 4 male's. When the games begin, he runs to the cornucopia and stops halfway after spotting the District 3 female with a black backpack. As she tries to run away with it, he grabs her by the stomach and pulls her down, but she escapes. He opens a crate and found a dagger, so he turned around just to see the District 4 female slashes the District 3 female`s leg, but instead of catching the District 4 female, he goes to the injured District 3 female, slashes the back of her neck and steals her backpack. After arriving the Cornucopia, he smacks the District 7 female `s face with the District 3 female`s black backpack, but the District 7 male sees this and runs to help his District partner. The District 7 male confronts him and knocks him down with a long spear  Fortunately for him, when the District 7 male was about to kill him, Thresh runs out of the cornucopia, distracting the District 7 male. The District 5 male then crawls away but is attacked by Jason, who smashes him into a crate, and strangles him with his hand as he struggles to pull them off of his throat. They roll around in the cornucopia, where he gains the advantage. He then grabs Jason's head and hurls it into crates, making him cough blood. He runs out of the cornucopia with his dagger, but the District 8 female slashes his leg open, making him fall to the ground in pain. He gets back up and grabs his sickle and a backpack, but Cato digs his machete into his chest, killing him.



Muttation
After his death, the District 5 male, like all the other dead tributes, had his DNA mixed with a wolf to form a muttation which had similar characteristics to the fallen tribute. It's unknown if his mutt survived the fight.
