Heart attack, when he was left by Brother
...
He is 3 years old
Doodle crawls when somebody calls for him. He gets in position and crawls backward to you.
Doodle's brother's name is never mentioned. When Doodle addresses him, he simply calls him "Brother."
Brother observes that Doodle crawls in a backward direction like s doodlebug.
William Armstrong from the Scarlet Ibis earned his nickname because he crawls backward like a "doodlebug."
In "The Scarlet Ibis," the scarlet ibis symbolizes Doodle's unique nature and fragility. Like the bird, Doodle is out of place in his environment and his vibrant existence is ultimately fleeting and delicate. The presence of the scarlet ibis highlights the beauty and tragedy of Doodle's life.
the scarlet ibis was foreshadowing Doodle;s fate. Like the scarlet ibis, Doodle was out of place and didn't belong. He was different and special. The blood trickling down his mouth when he died was a reference to the scarlet feather of the ibis. the way older brother described doodle at the time of his passing was graceful. Like the ibis. also, the way Doodle neck hung back resembled that of the ibis. Lastly, they both died the same day, making their connection even deeper considering that Doodle was the first one to notice the ibis and the only one to honor it with a "proper" funeral.
When reading that quote, the image of a gravestone with the name William Armstrong, meaning Doodle, immediately comes to mind. It is almost as if the reader is looking at the grave right then and there realizing that Doodle is the one buried there.

Doodle was born in 1911.
Doodle was just about the craziest brother is an example of hyperbole in the scarlet ibis
the ibis symbolizes doodle because: Both die in a similar way (in a storm under a red plant in a crooked form), both cant survive in new conditions (ibis away from tropics, doodle in training) and both are abnormal in the world (fragile and weak in stature)
