Best Answer

After breaking his leg (the focal point of the novel), Phineas falls down the stairs of a building and breaks it again (at the climax). He goes into surgery to have it repaired, and some of his bone marrow gets into his bloodstream, going to his heart and stopping it, as explained by Dr. Stanpole.
