Old Major did in chapter 2.
Old Major (the old boar who tells the other animals about the possible future of the farm in chapter 1)

I believe it was Old Major in Chapter 1 of Animal Farm.
Old major represents Karl Marx in animal farm because he taught animalism, workers do the work, rich keep the money, animals revolt, and he dies before the revolution.
The rebellion in Animal Farm happened when the animals were hungry and Mr. Jones wouldn't feed them. So they busted inside the food source to obtain their food. Soon after, they ran Mr. Jones and his men out, and that's how the revolution started.
he represented karl maex, the guy who made up paper communism. he was the theorist behind it
old Major dies early March.
He died.....first paragraph Chapter 2
He dies in his sleep - it does seem a bit sudden but the book says "the next day old major died peacefully in his sleep"
In animal farm old major was the animal (pig) who first started the ideas of the rebellion. He taught the animals the song 'beasts of england' and also gave them the long speech of his dream about a land without humans- leading to rebellion.
