He had been captured and assassinated. :(
It all goes back to human psychology. Its fear. Fear of the unknown, fear or what is in their future....Because of this uncertainty, the captured slaves rarely tried to escape. I would liken their situation to the Jews during the Holocaust. Why didn't Jews escape? Why didn't every death camp have a rebellion....the prisoners outnumbered their captors. Its because they didn't realize the fate that awaited them.

Hitler- In Berlin, Germany on April 30, 1945 he was trapped in a bunker with his mistress and some men. The United States was closing in from one direction and the Russians where closing in from the other. They where surrounded so instead of the gruesome fate that awaited him if he where to be captured he poisoned his Mistress and then shot himself. His last orders where to burn his mistresses and his body.

The family of Anne Frank, as well as hundreds of other Jewish families, went into hiding to avoid being captured and sent to German concentration camps. The fate of Jewish people in these camps was usually forced labor and, often, torture and death.
Fate and destiny are often used interchangeably but they have subtle differences in their connotations. Fate is often used to refer to a predetermined outcome or force that governs the events of one's life, usually considered beyond one's control. On the other hand, destiny refers to the events that are predetermined as part of a larger plan or purpose, often seen as the result of choices made and actions taken by individuals. In this sense, destiny can be seen as having a more positive and empowering connotation, while fate often has a more negative and deterministic one.
Fate is said to be "pre-determined", which means it has already been decided...given to you. However, Fate is often viewed as something in the future, which means you have yet to receive it (although it has been given).
It was usually the fate that awaited spies and deserters in times of war.
