He died by being tortured by Danforth and the Court. They tortured him by laying stones on top of him until the pressure gave way and kill him. His last works were "more weight", in other words, "I'm not telling you anything!"

Who was giles Corey and How did he die in the book of Salem witch trials?

In the Crucible he is portrayed as a tempered but honorable man, giving evidence critical to the witch trials. His wife Martha (executed on September 22, 1692) was one of the nineteen people hanged during the hysteria. In The Crucible, Giles felt guilty about the accusation of his wife because he had told a minister that Martha had been reading strange books, which was discouraged in that society. He was pressed to death. That means that they would lay him down on ta stone palette and ask him if he was a witch. If he said no, they would put a stone on him and ask again again, placing another stone on him each time he refused. This process went on until he suffocated or his rib cage caved in. If you want to learn about the real Giles Corey, I suggest you google him.~B~
