Arthur Conan Doyle tried to kill off Sherlock Holmes when he was writing the original stories in Strand magazine, but public pressure forced him to revive Holmes for more stories.
Wanting to devote more time to his historical novels, Conan Doyle killed off Holmes in "The Final Problem" which was printed in 1893. He resisted Holmes`resurrection for 8 years until he wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles in 1901. However, Hound was set a a time before Holmes``death`at Reichenbach Falls. His survival is revealed in "The Adventure of the Empty House".

Answer:
The novelist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle grew tired of writing the Holmes stories (thinking that he should write more "meaningful" material) and decided to kill him off so he could stop.
In The Final Problem (1891), Conan Doyle has Holmes and his archenemy Professor Moriarty fight on a ledge above the Reichenbach falls. During the fight both tumble over the precipice, presumably to their deaths.
Unfortunately for Doyle but luckily for Holmes, Doyle didn't reckon on public opinion. The outcry forced Doyle to restart the series in 1903. To do this he claimed that Holmes had managed to grab a tuft of grass during the fall into the "dreadful cauldron" and so had lived to solve more cases.
