What are the important clues in Sir Charles Baskerville's death?

Answer 1

Sir. Charles Baskerville died supposedly at the hand of the hound of the Baskervilles. Before death, he, as he usually did, was walking down an avenue of trees where he stopped at the gates leading out toward the moor to have a smoke. After several minutes, he started running, oddly away from the safety of the mansion and toward the end of the avenue where not far from the end his body was found. He seemed to have died from exhaustion. A few feet away were the prints of an enormous dog.

Answer 2

He died in the beginning of the story from a heart attack from being so scared of the hound.

An account appeared in "the Devon County Chronicle of June 14th of this year." He died "a few days before that date."

Answer 3

Sir Charles was in the habit of walking down Yew Alley every night before going to bed. On May 4th, Sir Charles said he was going to London and told Barrymore to prepare his luggage. Sir Charles left for his walk and started to smoke his cigar, as he did every night. Approximately at midnight, Barrymore went out to find Sir Charles. Since the day had been wet, Sir Charles's footprints were easily seen on the ground. The moor gate is about halfway down the Yew Alley. Since there were two cigar ash droppings, Sir Charles had been waiting for someone. Sherlock Holmes later finds out that Sir Charles had been waiting for Laura Lyons, who needed assistance before Sir Charles went to London. Smaller footprints formed when Sir Charles had started running- in the wrong direction, which was to the Summerhouse. There were no signs of violence on Sir Charles's body, but the face was distorted. It was presumably caused by his difficulty in breathing and a sudden heart attack. Sir Charles had heart and organ problems, which was another possible cause of his death. Also the anxiety of where he lived took a toll on his body, causing him to be depressed. There at his death scene, Sir Charles was laying face-down with his arms out and his fingers dug into the gravel. Sir Charles's features were convulsed, but no physical injury was visible to Dr. Mortimer. A few yards in the distance, Dr. Mortimer carefully noticed that there were footprints of a gigantic hound! Interestingly, Barrymore did not report any footprints other than the ones of Sir Charles.

Answer 4

Sir Charles had been planning to leave on an extended trip to London the day following his death. It was his custom to take an evening walk in the Yew Alley to smoke a cigar. He appeared to walk normally to the moor gate then he stood for some time because there was cigar ash on the ground and other marks left by Sir Charles. A gipsy horse-dealer not far from the scene heard screams at the time. Sir Charles was walking away from Baskerville Hall on his toes, which means he was running, when he died. There were no marks on the grass or the gravel path near the body.

The important facts that came to light after the inquest are these: Before the terrible event occurred, several people had seen a creature upon the moor, but no sightings were reported after the event. A short distance from the body there were the distinct footprints on the path of a gigantic hound. A charred note that was barely readable was found by Barrymore under the fire grate of a letter signed with the initials L. L. that may have been received the morning of Sir Charles' death, and it requested that Sir Charles be at the place he died and at the time he died.
