Stapleton killed Sir Charles Baskerville, by setting his hound on him.

No, The hound that killed Charles Baskerville by giving him a heart attack and tried to kill Henry Baskerville was bought by Stapleton so it would look like the curse was real and nobody would suspect him when he tried to claim the baskerville fortune since he was in fact a Baskerville himself.
