I'm assuming you're referring to a Shakespearian character. There are several Earls and Dukes of Gloucester in Shakespeare's works. In Henry IV, Part 2, Suffolk accuses the Duke of Gloucester of treason and he is imprisoned, but before his trial Suffolk sends two assassins to kill him. You probably aren't referring to the other Duke of Gloucester, because he dies in Richard III, in which he is the title character and referred to as Richard III. I don't think the Earl of Gloucester in King Lear died, but he had his eyes poked out. Ick.
