Contrary to the previous answer, Gregor does not die because of his father. Gregor wills himself to die alone in his room because he feels horrible for being such a burden on his family and because he over heard his sister (whom he thought still loved him) talking to his parents saying that she couldn't stand Gregor and that she wanted to get rid of him. This complete alienation and lack of love and compassion led Gregor to realize he was unwelcome and out of misery, he willed himself to die.

William Gregor was an English pastor who studied Cornish minerals as a hobby. He found some Ilmenite in a Cornish mine and broke it down and noticed one element that he could not identify. Later that same year a German chemist also discovered this element and named it titanium because the mineral had the "strength of the titans." When he learned of Gregor's results, Martin Heinrich Klaproth gave William Gregor the credit for the discovery.
