Why did captain Edward Smith of the Titanic die?

Answer 1

Captain Edward Smith (1850-1912) went down with his ship. He was among the last of the crew onboard and was not encountered by any of the lifeboats. He would have either drowned or died from hypothermia. His body was among those that were never recovered.
he went inside the place where people control the ship and held on to something and stood there until the water came to his attention[that was from the movie titanic]

in real life the captain felt so mad because he bought the ship with so much money so then mr Andrews showed him and telled him that the ship was going to sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean mr Andrews also mentioned an hour or a hour and a half but mr Andrews also mentioned that the watertight chambers are not going to do anything that was when the carpathia was on their way to rescue titanic a near by ship was watching titanic go down mr smith and Andrews both were thinking suicide none of them made a run for it but this made a differents mr Andrews was definitly thinking suicide because captain smith said that he can go on a boat but mr Andrews refused then after that titanic was about 27 minutes away from sinking after hiting a iceburg captain smith than went on the control section of a the ship trying to save the ship when the water came in and pushed him down to the floor a baby came in braking a window just incase the baby didnt broke the window the baby was inside the water and the water broke the window after that captain smith grabbed the baby and ran out the control section room soon captain smith droped the baby in the water captain smith went down to save the baby but smoke stack fell down then in 5 seconds another one fell down none of them fell on the baby captain smith quickly throwed himself to the water but it was to late the smoke stacks made the water push down and the water was to dark to see in. then after that another guy or girl had the baby and him or her were huging it really tight captain smith said please pass me the baby but the girl refused soon the girl was freezing captain took the baby away from her or his arm the girl or boy had two babys the only thing was that the other one was frozin the baby that captain smith was holding was not the baby he was holding last time but sill captain smith brought the baby to the life boat the guy in the life boat said to to get on the life boat but captain smith refused captain smith was under the stern which means that when the ship broke apart captain smith was sqaushed captain smith tried to move away but some how the water was draging him to the ship captain smith went under the water but there was still something or some part of a ship that hit him hard and captain smith died if you go to explore titanic you could see his boots and the face of the baby he dropped
