Death

Exploited absence of

ille eternis tradendus incendiis infelicem animam dicitur exalasse. William of Tyre bk. 12, 14.1-17
He died on his litter after some kind of fit; the narrative of his death combines revolting physical symptoms with implications that he was condemned to eternal damnation
