She could have been killed by Hugo (I), died of fright, died from injuries in a fall, or she may have been killed by the hound. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- He was Sir Charles' ancestor and he kidnapped a girl form the local village then she tried to run away. Hugo chased after her, killed her, and then the dog killed him and this how the curse of the Baskervilles began. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sir Charles Baskerville is a descendant that has information about what happen on the night that the Yeoman's daughter and Hugo Baskerville are found dead.

While he was having dinner with his guests, the girl escaped. Once it was discovered that she was missing, Hugo Baskerville sent dogs to retrieve her. The guests ran to stop him, once they found out what he was intending. Yet, when they got to the woods they found that he had already killed her. However, he was also dead.
