There is no evidence to suggest that giraffe dig holes to die. This myth seems to have been perpetuated with the film Madagascar Escape 2 Africa. There is no way a giraffe would have the strength to dig a hole when it approaches death, especially one that was large enough for it to fit into.
There is some suggestion that, in times of drought, giraffes dig to help open up waterholes, but this is the only form of digging that giraffes undertake.

Giraffes, and other animals do dig holes for water, but not to die in.
Its near impossible for a giraffe to do that, especially if fully grown, that hole would have to be huge, and If the giraffe is indeed sick, how would it muster the strength? They aren't even the type of animals made to dig, they aren't built for that. :) hope that was helpful...<3
