Who died in the Hound of the Baskervilles?

Answer 1

Well if you want an honest answer it's going to have to be a spoiler. So if you don't want a spoiler don't read any farther... (The murderer, Stapleton, had a dog which he pretended was a ghostly dog from an old fairytale concerning the Baskerville family. Sherlock shot it in the head at the climax of the story and killed it instantly.) Dr. Mortimer's spaniel also dies.

Answer 2

Holmes and Watson found a bog-girt island in Grimpen Mire with a staple and chain, and a quantity of gnawed bones where the hound had been confined. Among the bones was a skeleton with a tangle of brown hair adhering to it must have been the remains of Mortimer's curly-haired spaniel.

Answer 3

Sir Charles Baskerville dies before the novel begins, then Selden, the criminal, and Mortimer's dog, and finally the Hound himself and his master, Stapleton. There is mention of the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles, in which the first Hugo Baskerville and a young woman he was pursuing died, but that's a story within a story, so we won't get into that. It's a lovely read.

Answer 4

Grimpen.
